The 'average' Republican I presume you are talking about are people like any of our neighbors who just happen to be registered Republican. Most of them are Republicans because that's what their parents were.

And you know very well that almost all of them are using birth control ... because few families have more than two or three children.

The extremist, activist Repuglicans and the very conservative Roman church hierarchy are way, way out of touch with average Americans on this issue.

Indeed, pushing any limitations on birth control is an absolute prescription (pun intended) for electoral disaster, in my estimation. One of the greatest scientific/medical discoveries of all time is that we can now control and plan our very own family.
