12. Unfortunately, it is a position held unapologetically by radtrad Catholic...

...radio, TV, and internet sources. And I should say, not even the ultra-radtrad types (the ones obsessed with Latin Masses and women wearing mantillas). Even "mainstream" radtrad and conservative Catholic outfits like EWTN and (Ir)-Relevant Radio push a hard anti-contraception line 24/7. They have even invented their own thought-terminating clichés, like "the contraceptive mentality" and "being open to life".

You may be right that the random "normie" on the street would think these people insane, but that doesn't seem to dissuade the zealots running EWTN (or their audience).

Not personally, but I do monitor anti-abortion activists and it's not an uncommon stance. WhiskeyGrinder May 2022 #1
