Philippines Battle Over Condoms
Protesters display condoms and shout slogans during a rally at the influential Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines Monday March 8, 2010 in Manila to ask the bishops to "bless the condoms as a conciliatory gesture to unite for reproductive health and women's rights." A battle is brewing between the influential Catholic Church and the government over the use of condoms and other contraceptives to help arrest the growing population. (AP Photo/Bullit Marquez)
