In reply to the discussion: OK. How about "safe, legal and SECONDARY TO BIRTH CONTROL?" [View all]Bluenorthwest
(45,319 posts)45. You ignore the fact that many who oppose abortion rights also oppose other forms
of birth control. Francis says all of it is wrong. The RCC has clear anti birth control teachings. So how does adding mention of another form of that which they see as 'sin' do anything for the folks who oppose condoms and pills?
Like all health care it should be legal, safe, covered under health care plans and also private. It is not your concern what other methods were used, nor if any were used. And to repeat, the opponents of choice are opponents of choice, they oppose any form of birth control because what they favor is that the choices all lay with church and State, not with the individual.

It should be secondary to birth control. Otherwise we will see a rise in STI's.
