To whom? You certainly can subscribe to that belief, but you offer nothing in the way of data that can be verified, only condescending remarks about pity.
I made no claims to "figuring" you out, but you do, however, come across as someone who doesn't seem too aware that the US Bishops don't spend all their time and energy on issues related to reproduction. As a religious liberal, I've heard more than my share of snide remarks. I get that, it's not as fun when politics isn't so black and white.
But since you raised the issue, are you aware of those positions, or do you just assume every Christian thinks the world is 6000 years old and Jesus promised them a house with a three car garage?
