The Catholic church had found it morally wrong to use any form of bitrh control. Condoms, cervical caps and diapharms were considered artificial, they were not letting the sperm take its natural journey during intercourse. Other artificial uses that killed sperm was considered murder to the Catholic community. The people who were 100% for the birth control were interfering with God's will and was a mortal sin, so the Catholics had said. There were three reasons the Christan and Catholic community didn't want anything to do with birth control. One of the reasons was because it allowed people to be promiscuous, commit adultery, and condemned. In the Catholic community the purpose of sex was to be sacred and valued. When the couple decided to have sex they had to be prepared for forming another life. The church had two methods Catholics may use if they did not want to get pregnant. One method was abstinence, which was a method to not have sex. The other method was to not have sex during the women's period. Many believed these methods could hurt their marriages and did not want to use these methods. In 1957 the Catholic church passed a law for women with irregular cycles to use the pill to regularize their cycles. Dr. Gregory Pincus believed the pill to be natural since it contained hormones that were already in the women's body. The pill also did not tamper with the sperm so they found the pill okay. When the pill was found okay in religions it had been the most popular method of birth control among American women.
