"A Typical American Woman's Story"

Jennifer says hers is a typical, American woman’s story and that she uses the Pill.  She and husband Dave live in a condo in Brooklyn and have sons who are four and one.  She has a demanding job with much longer hours than she would like; Dave is a full time dad.  She grew up in the Moravian Church; he is a life-long Catholic.  Except for high school and college, he attended public schools.  Both are 34 years old.  They met after college at their first job in Atlanta.  A minister and a priest officiated at their wedding.  Later, Jennifer went through the RCIA program and was received into the Catholic Church.  She and Dave know the stance of the Catholic Church regarding artificial birth control but have no qualms about her taking the Pill--although they don’t advertise that fact to people they consider devout Catholics.  They consider family planning a personal choice and are happy with their decision.
