10 SEPTEMBER 22-OCTOBER 12, 2018 | DENVER CATHOLIC D id you know that one of the doc- tors who played a major role in the development of the birth control pill was a devout Catholic? Did you know that when artifi cial contra- ception was fi rst legalized it was only for use by married women? And did you know that after contra- ception was legalized, the American College of Obstetricians and Gyne- cologists — without scientifi c study or breakthroughs — changed the defi - nition of the term "conception" from the time of "fertilization" to that of "implantation of a fertilized ovum," which occurs later? Those facts and more will be o„ ered by attorney and Catholic columnist/ blogger Bob Sullivan during a multi-me- dia presentation, "The Truth About Birth Control," set for 7 p.m. Oct. 19 at the Knights of Columbus hall, 1555 N. Grant St., downtown Denver. The presentation, which is followed by a Q&A, commemorates the 50th anniversary of Humanae Vitae (On Human Life), the 1968 encyclical letter of Blessed Pope Paul VI on the regu- lation of birth. (Blessed Paul VI is set to be canonized Oct. 14 in Rome.) The event is sponsored by the group Young Catholic Professionals. All are invited. Sullivan, who resides with his wife and fi ve daughters in Hastings, Neb., will explore artifi cial contraception from four angles: historical, scientifi c/ medical, legal and cultural. "I do a historical walk through the 1900s showing how the contraception movement got its start — the history with [ birth control activist] Marga- ret Sanger and testing out of Harvard University," Sullivan told the Denver Catholic.
