Your statistics? The Baptist percentage on life is about Abortion. Protestants caved in 1930, going against God, approving contraception.
The Pill came on the market in the mid 1960s. The question is being asked now? Reverend Mohler has no answers.

Can Christians use Birth Control?
June 6, 2012
“Therefore, Christians may make careful and discriminating use of proper technologies, but must never buy into the contraceptive mentality. We can never see children as problems to be avoided, but always as gifts to be welcomed and received.
For evangelicals, much work remains to be done. We must build and nurture a new tradition of moral theology, drawn from Holy Scripture and enriched by the theological heritage of the church. Until we do, many evangelical couples will not even know where to begin the process of thinking about birth control in a fully Christian frame. It is high time evangelicals answered this call.”

Are you living in the PAST? With old MSM (who believes them?) numbers?
These were numbers a few months after Obama took office.
Let's pray that we can look to the future.
50 percent of Catholics (Catholics make up about 22 percent of the U.S. population.) approve of his presidency, down from 67 percent in his first six months in office.
DOWN 17 POINTS
among non-Catholic Christians, who make up 55 percent of the U.S. population, had fallen from 58 percent to 43 percent.
DOWN 15 POINTS
Mormon respondents, who represent about two percent of U.S. adults, fell from 43 percent to 26 percent
About 78 percent of Muslim respondents approved of the Obama presidency, down eight percentage points from when the question was first asked. (86)
DOWN 8 POINTS
atheists, agnostics, and members of other non-Christian religions, who comprise about 13 percent of the U.S. population -- While about 75 percent of these respondents approved of President Obama at the start of his term, their approval declined to about 64 percent.
DOWN 11 POINTS
Jews were the religious group third likeliest to approve of President Obama, giving him 61 percent approval. This too is a decline: in January-June 2009, their approval rating of the president was 77 percent.
DOWN 16 POINTS
Overall, 48 percent of Americans approve of President Obamas job, down from 63 percent in the first months of his presidency. Gallup claims that its survey of over 276,000 adults claims an overall margin of error of plus or minus one percent.

Ansel: Heck, yeah.
The majority of self-described 'Catholics' --- according to some polling results --- also use birth control, get spayed, neutered and fixed, divorce and remarry, deny the True Presence of Christ in the Blessed Sacrament, and insist that their own conscience (by which they mean, "my preference") overrules the whole teaching of Truth which comes to us through the Apostles. Heck, their preference, their opinion, their "own moral compass," trumps the Father, the Son, and the Holy SPirit.
Which shows that unfaithful Catholics are, well, unfaithful Catholics. Their point of view is not that of the Church, but of the "sensus infidelium."
They have just as much authority as.... any other group of anti-Catholics.
Don't expect me to defend them.
