I’ve never understood the religious objection to birth control pills. Never. The pills have a 99.9% infallibility rate, meaning less than 1 out of every 100 women who take the pill daily will still become pregnant. That means that each year, about 3 million women in the US who take the pill will still become pregnant. To me, that sounds like a pretty high failure rate. To those who think the pill thwarts the intentions of God, that failure rate should sound like divine intervention.

Thank you!
I love Candorville! Always look forward to next strip. Great job on the War on Women! Thanks!
Best 6-panel comic EVER!
Thanks!
Thought this was a cogent strip . .
Lemont has wisdom. In the OT, it says to above all, get wisdom. BTW, along with outlawing birth control, masturbation is also seen as a sin. It "wastes seed".
I swear you have more "just-what-I've-always-said" strips than any other cartoonist in the history of my cartoon reading life!
I have NEVER understood the argument that birth control in some bizarre way is "thwarting God's will" especially as the people who screech that rhetoric are the same bunch who scream about God's perfect infallibility. Why does it so often seem that us "left-wing socialist freaks" have more faith in God's plan (should there in fact be one) than the right-wing nut jobs who claim to be "working" for him/her? If I was God, I'd fire the whole bunch of 'em & find me some better employees.
Anyway, just wanted to say thanks (yet again) for the spot-on comic!
