Contraception should be accepted. 30/31 without it.

"Artificial birth control" really? I'm with the others, contraception is a clearer, shorter, better answer.

Excellent quiz. I learned and/or refreshed my memory about quite a few important dates. I also agree that contraceptives should work.

Agree on 'contraception'. True, the Pope said the 'rhythm method' was OK and technically that is a form of "contraception", but really...most people are thinking of "artificial birth control" when they use the word "contraception" and deserve credit for a correct answer.
