This is nothing new with the Catholic Church, not too long ago when a woman got pregnant but was in danger of dying during childbirth the church would not allow the doctors to save the mother even if she had a lot of children at home. These church rules were written by men that wanted to control their faithful and it is still going on today in countries where there is little or no education. These people are at the mercy of the church and you can be sure they will take all the advantages they can.
