Contraception Video, Produced By Children Of Mary Order, Links Homosexuality With Birth Control

Discussion and comments:
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/10/01/contraception-video-men-homosexuality-birth-control-_n_1930057.html

According to these nuns:
  • The entire world population could fit happily in the state of Texas, so there is no population problem.
  • Women's use of contraception turns the men around them gay.
  • The world population is declining due to contraception, and we are headed for extinction.
  • "If someone you know is contracepting (sic), tell them to stop. It will destroy them."
