It Seems to Heywood Broun

Any modification of existing prohibitions against the spread of birth control and any move to liberalize divorce will find Catholics united and irreconcilable. To be fair there is a great deal of Protestant opposition to easy divorce and to the legalization of contraceptive information, but the Catholic church furnishes the backbone of organization in this opposition just as the Methodists and Baptists are the cornerstone of the Anti-Saloon League. Speak out for the abolition of capital punishment and it will be met by the fierce resistance of the eye for an eye fundamentalists. Argue for the mercy of birth control and it will be answered by those who declare that it is beyond the scope of God's intention.
