To think that religion shouldn't come into contraception advice?

[Sugarmuppet]

or am I being terribly nieve?

Having grown up in the country in the middle of no where, religion has never been a part of my life. Everyone just go on with everyone regardless of what religion you were. The question just never came up.

I recently moved into a very 'catholic' area of Glagow, my husband and his family are all practicing catholics. What an eye opener!

I joined his Doctors practice. Had nothing but great care during my pregnancy. Didn't even know it was a 'catholic' practice. Went today to get some contraception advice, I had eclampsia and the consultants at hospital warned me against going back on the pill. Anyway, my Doctor today says 'we are a Catholic practice. It is against my religion to deal with contraception requests, please go to your local family planning clinic'

Is that the most ridiculous thing you have ever heard?

Richard Dawkins, for example, is a Dick.

MsHighwater: really insightful contribution there.

Richard D married Romana from Doctor Who, who was also married to Tom Baker and lifelong friends with Douglas Adams. I'm telling you, he has hidden depths...

Everyone called Richard is a Dick.

What that has to do with anything except obliquely agree with RDs dislike of labels I don't know.

It might not be especially insightful but it has the distinction of being fact.
