The condom lady says anyone that's not Roman Catholic is going to burn in hell?
....Wow. She'd HATE me then. Considering I'm Roman Catholic and am totally for not *gasp* having a baby until you're ready or at all! (Not to mention there are thousands of women that are Catholic that use birth control for all sorts of reasons.)
I think she needs to actually understand reproductive health and how birth control works before she opens her mouth. If I was still a cashier and had HER in my line, I don't think I could've kept my mouth shut on that assumption of hers.
My Roman Catholic grandmother - turning 80 in just a few short weeks!! - happily had her 5 kids. But then when her doctor told her he didn't think she should have any more for sake of her health, she just as happily went on birth control.
And I'm pretty sure she's got more sense than all these crazies running around going "but my Reeeliiiiiigyunnn!!!!"
I'm Catholic and if I didn't have birth control I'd be essentially bed-ridden for the first 2-3 days of my period. Hardliners can step directly to the left, thankyouverymuch.
I'll assume that directly to the left is: a) a pit of lions, b) a Wile E. Coyote-esque cliff, c) a short pier, or d) a ninja ready to dole out some spin-kicking boot-to-the-head.
Or at least in my world, that's what's over there.

Especially since a healthy chunk of the Protestant side of the building thinks the same thing about her!
The elder ladies of my mother's family sat her down for the "Lie back and think of England" conversation about a week before she married Dad. They were crossing themselves and clutching their rosary beads for hours when she popped out with "Well, some women like it!" I seriously don't think my great-grandmother got 6 kids by "lying back and thinking of England."
My wife and I were on vacation in Jamaica and we happened to be sharing a hot tub with another couple at the resort. We were actually having a pleasant conversation until the woman came out with this gem:
Woman: Wow! I can't believe we are sitting here talking about politics and religion with non-Mormon's! Me: Oh, you're Mormon's? Woman: Yup...I mean I know you two are going to burn in hell when you die but it's nice to be able to have a pleasent conversation with you!
She said it so matter of factly that I almost burst out laughing.
