Zarah thanks so much for writing about this- there is too little public health research that is founded on community strengths.

“As far as the Catholics and Baptists are concerned, women should breed until they die as penance for the “sin” of being born female.”‘
What an ignorant/incorrect statement. It will be hard to use any religious support systems as a resource if you approach them in this manner.

Can’t see it happening here in the U.S. Here women (white women in particular) are seen as nothing more than breeding machines to the patriarchy. As far as the Catholics and Baptists are concerned, women should breed until they die as penance for the “sin” of being born female.

I strongly agree that religious support systems often influence individuals’ decision-making regarding reproductive health issues. Check out this article about the efforts of some religious groups in the U.S.: http://ecumenicalwomen.org/2010/02/24/u-s-religions-quietly-launch-a-sexual-revolution/
