Convenient generalizations presented as fact to make a point...usually political as in this thread!

btk
I have also read the 95% figure. That sounds very high...However, I went to a Catholic University and I can tell you that well over 50% of the women I knew there were on birth control. Granted this was a long time ago, but if this trended like you would expect, the number would likely go up, not down. If Catholics were not using birth control, their population would be growing at a higher rate. I think I recently read that Muslims have overtaken Catholics as having the greatest number of followers.
