While these quotes are comical, birth control is no laughing matter. We believe the birth control pill should be accessible to all women over the age of 18 without a prescription.

This is an amazing image produced by CNN about the availability of birth control in countries all over the globe.

Check out our position on the Catholic Church and birth control:
“Woman must have her freedom, the fundamental freedom of choosing whether or not she will be a mother and how many children she will have. Regardless of what man’s attitude may be, that problem is hers — and before it can be his, it is hers alone. She goes through the vale of death alone, each time a babe is born. As it is the right neither of man nor the state to coerce her into this ordeal, so it is her right to decide whether she will endure it.”
― Margaret Sanger, Woman and the New Race
