If you listen to the Catholic bishops you would think that Catholics are against contraception and legal abortion, but if you ask actual Catholics, you discover that more than 90% of Catholic women use contraception and Catholic women seem to need and choose legal abortion at about the same rate as everybody else.

Women’s voices should be front and center in protecting both our young and our habitat. That’s the way it is in any species that survives.
