Again, I'm not saying that all Catholic women are like this. I am aware there are others who even get pregnant outside of wedlock, but I'm talking about those that take directives from the Catholic Church very seriously.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Conservative religious beliefs are a strong indicator of teen pregnancy in the us. Very few american catholics take the directives of the catholic church seriously..especially about sex. Ask the catholic church.
