Maybe I'm waaay wrong on this, but aren't married women the biggest consumers of birth control? [View all]

esp. married women with children???

IOW, it's not the Republican mythological single woman running around having sex willy nilly. Rather, it's married women who have sex on a regular basis with their husbands that use birth control more, esp. when they have kids and don't want to have more.

I apologize if I am wrong.
