The Catholic Church indeed says contraception is wrong. The Catholic Church is wrong on a lot of things.

WARNING: Description of partial birth abortions follow. If you are easily offended, please skip the rest of this post.
Late term abortions are a process which involves cutting the developing fetus into pieces and withdrawing them, one by one, from the uterus. It is a variant of the "Dilation and Extraction" procedure. The typical "medical" process uses forceps to tear apart the baby, an intolerably revolting thought.
Very late term abortions, the ones banned by the "partial birth" bill, involve crushing the skull of the baby
as it is being delivered or presented. The latest bill bans the procedure after the after the baby's head has pushed clear of the mother; in the past, it was apparently legal to murder the baby as long as part of it remained in the mother. How anyone thought this was permissible is unbelievable, unforgiveable. It is a horrific process, one that is abhorrent to any common sensibility. The baby is literally minutes away from taking its first breath; it is infanticide, not "abortion." There is a reason pro-choice activists are so eager to ban the display of pictures of a murdered baby: the damage done to the baby is so cruel that any normal person would revulse in horror.
