be any more irrelevant?

"...Eighty-two percent of U.S. Catholics say birth control is morally acceptable, nearing the 89% of all Americans and 90% of non-Catholics who agree. The level of acceptability on this issue is far greater than that of the other 17 issues Gallup asked about this year..." (emphasis added)

From a Gallup poll, currently on DU's opening page.

It would appear the 'strangling' originated from a source other than the current administration.
