Most noteworthy for me is the fact that more Americans think that porn (52%) and homosexuality (39%) are wrong than spanking children (23%) and being ultra wealthy (18%).

About 20% of Americans are Catholics, so that means that less than half of Catholics follow Catholic doctrine in this regard.

I think you'd be surprised at just how few Catholics follow this specific rule! According to the NCHS, 98.8% of sexually experienced Catholic women had used contraception at some point in their lives. ("sexually experienced" in this context means ever had vaginal sex, and the sample size was 10,122 people)

Here's the direct quote:

Across religious affiliations, 99.7% of women with no religious affiliation, 99.3% of Protestant women, 98.8% of Catholic women, and 97.6% of women affiliated with other religions had ever used a contraceptive method
