Catholics for Choicehttp://www.condoms4life.org

Catholics for Choice (CFC) was founded to serve as a voice for Catholics who believe that the Catholic tradition supports a woman's moral and legal right to follow her conscience in matters of sexuality and reproductive health.  Catholics for Choice provides support and resources for reproductive rights supporters who are committed to the Catholic faith.  In 2001, they launched their Good Catholics Use Condoms Campaign, a worldwide public education effort to raise public awareness about the devastating effect of the bishops’ ban on condoms.
