Christians Are Using Contraceptives The Church Has Banned

 A "quiverful" isn't what it used to be in America. A new report by the Guttmacher Institute shows some 98-percent of sexually active Catholic women use contraceptive methods banned by the church, including sterlization, the birth control pill, or an I.U.D. The numbers of those using birth control are slightly higher for Evangelicals and Protestants. In fact, they are even higher then the general population. Only 2-percent of Christians rely on natural family planning.
