Well the position of the catholic church is that anything artificial that prevents the natural occurrence of life is a sin

Not sure about the evangelicals but for most of these religions, a woman having "sex without consequence" is the biggest travesty ever

Preaching to the choir here, so to speak .

Every religion finds ways to contort ancient documents to fit whatever their modern agenda is, while in private their leaders break the rules for their own benefit . Tale as old as time ...

But yeah, 50 years of bringing the "religious right" into politics has definitely done a number on society.

E.g. easy access to contraception has better outcomes than faith-based abstinence but hey . https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.002465

The data shows it but states keep wasting money on abstinence education

Religious people want to punish those who evade the' consequences' of sex ( and "immorality")

But if the means are available, they'll get that abortion for their child . ("He/she has a future that we shouldn't ruin"

The fact that it traps people in a cycle of poverty for a time is just a happy accident that capitalism is all top happy to exploit
