I've heard some really fundamental people think that even using a condom or birth control is preventing the "potential" for life and is therefore the same as abortion. Some people are retarded though.

Contraception was (and may still be) banned by the Catholics (Roman). Of course as with most religious 'rules' many have argued that there is a non-religious reason for the ban on contraception. If you don't continue to make babies (in other words, new Catholics) then the church numbers decline. Can't have that. The so-called rhythm method was used by many Catholics and despite a claimed 75 to 87 percent effectivness rate is responsible for many 'surprises' in good Catholic familes.
