In reply to the discussion: Issa Defends Denying Female Witness At Contraception Hearing: She ‘Wasn’t In Any Way Related’ [View all]Contrary1
(12,629 posts)14. Can someone explain this one to me?
"...an ovarian cyst that might have been prevented by using contraception in another way, one that by the way, the Catholic bishop and everyone else there said is fully allowed, under their faith."
What the hell does this refer to? Holding a birth control pill between her knees? I thought the only BC allowed by the Catholic Church was the rhythm method, which as far as I'm concerned, should also be included in their ridiculous view of contraception.
