Most Young Adults Find Birth Control Morally Acceptable
Published at
Fuse/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) — The availability of birth control has become something of a hot-button topic since the passage of the Affordable Care Act.
But the Public Religious Research Institute had a different, more fundamental question that it posed to 2,315 young adults ages 18 to 35 — namely, is birth control morally acceptable?
An overwhelming majority of respondents, 71 percent, answered yes, it is. Just nine percent felt birth control is not morally acceptable.
Although the Roman Catholic Church preaches against birth control, 72 percent of white Catholic millennials and 68 percent of Hispanic Catholic millennials said it’s morally acceptable to use contraception.
Meanwhile, 81 percent of survey respondents say that all women should have access to contraception.
