Actually, the religion is Christianity, or which Catholicism is a part. The belief that life starts at the point of conception then means abortion is the killing of a human being. Stem cell research is, in turn, the harvesting of human parts for science. The opposition to birth control is less straight forward.

The Catholic Church is pro-life in the widest sense. This is often called a "Consistent Ethic of Life." Catholics believe that life is a sacred gift from God and needs to be treated with all human dignity from the moment of conception to the point of natural death. This pro-life stance stresses the highest regard for dignity of human life including that of: + All people in objecting to unjust war and nuclear arms. + The unborn in objecting to to abortion, in vitro fertilization, frozen embryos, embryonic stem cell research, and cloning + The elderly, sick and dying in objecting to assisted suicide and euthanasia + Prisoners in objecting to torture and the death penalty + The poor and minorities in supporting social justice issues. For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 2270 and following: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt3sect2chpt2art5.htm#2270 With love in Christ.
