Birth Control Causes Gay Men, Undesirability, Black Babies, Bestiality, Death and More Gay Men, Say Nuns
by Abby Zimet
An Ohio order of Catholic nuns called the Children Of Mary - "There is so much work to do!" - has released an astonishing video showing that we are all doomed due to the 99% of sexually active women who are contracepting, which actually isn't even a word, but anyway. And more gay men too.
"What is a man to do when the majority of women are contracepting and he no longer finds them desirable?"

(12,754 posts)They're constantly telling us that abstinence is the best form of birth control, and those nuns are practicing abstinence.

(2,940 posts)...I've never had a man tell me that the fact that I'm "contracepting" makes me undesireable. Quite the opposite, in fact.
This is just so bizarre I don't even know what to say about it. Contraception causes Black babies? Do they even know what contraception is? Weirdos.

I went to a Catholic school my first four years and phonics was ALL we did. I used to hate it, but am now very grateful for those lessons.

This is just one kooky lady, it has nothing to do with what we generally think of as Catholic nuns.

(15,379 posts)A column or essay on the rhythm method that these nuns are so in favor of. Let me see if I can recount the arguments without embarrassing myself.
1. When starting the no-sex period, it is possible that there are some old (relatively-speaking) sperm hanging around that can still force its way into an egg.
2. Likewise when coming off the no-sex period, it is possible that there are some old eggs hanging around that can be impregnated by new sperm.
In both cases, you get a fertilized egg that is too weak to implant itself in the uterine wall. And the rate of what they're claiming as deaths from contraception would be greater in this case than the others combined.
