Steven, res Have you any idea how many children are conceived in the developing world every year because a man won't take "no" for an answer? Do you really believe that a woman with a husband who won't take "no" for an answer should not be allowed to have an IUD inserted without her husband's knowledge, simply because the church thinks the IUD is immoral?

I don't agree with a husband raping his wife or the church believing an IUD is wrong. Of the two, I would say the rape is a greater immoral act though. If the society is free and the people vote, then the laws reflect the peoples desires. If the laws happen to align themselves with religious doctrine, then the people have chosen that path.

It doesn't seem fair if you don't share those religious views. But that's the way most cultural laws exist.
