Cultural Contrception

The issue of contrception varies emmensly over the different cultural and or religious beliefs. On side of the issue is the hispanic/catholic culture and their belief against all forms of contraception. I have a coworker who is currently pregnant with her second child. In casual conversation about the upcoming birth of her child I asked her, how many more children she wanted. She responded by saying "I only want 2 but its not up to me." I asked her what she meant and she explained that "Mexicans dont use condoms." She continued to explain that the Mexican culture doesnt believe that people should do anything to control or prevent pregnancy because it is up to Gods plan whether a woman gets pregnant or not. I also asked my coworker about use of condoms as a form of protection from STDs and she simply answered "no condoms!!" My families views are ass apposing as can be. From the time I was a teenager I was always encouraged to not have sex until I was able to make a mature/adult decision about it but no matter when I do have sex to BE SAFE!!! Safety was taught to me and my brother more than abstinence. When my brother got his first serious girlfriend in highschool, my dad took him to get condoms and my mother took me to get birth control when I was 15 and had my first serious boyfriend. Contraception was an issue of birth control and personal health and saftey in my family. I think the openness and comftability in combination of education and knowledge of the subject of birth control and profalactics is the reason no in my immidiate or extended family ever had any teenage pregnancy or even pregnancy scares.
