Yes I listend to the cd for the first time last week> I wish I could memorize it.Odell, see Janet Smith’s article titiled, Contraceptoin:Why Not at www.catholiceducation.org. This article is the best i’ve seen on this issue.
I highly recommend that you get the tape or CD from www.omsoul.com called “Contraception Why Not?” by Dr. Janet Smith. They will even send you one free copy, and additional copies for a small fee like $1 or $2 dollars.I hear alot on why contriception is bad but I would like to hear what people have to say on how contriception can be linked to all the problems we have today in society. Im explaing this to one of my wifes aunts. And I want her to see why contriception is not the answer to poverty and aids and so on.
Well, on the buses in my area are big adverts from Planned Parenthood with a photo of a very nice-looking young lady and the legend, “Birth control makes all my other choices possible.”I hear alot on why contriception is bad but I would like to hear what people have to say on how contriception can be linked to all the problems we have today in society. Im explaing this to one of my wifes aunts. And I want her to see why contriception is not the answer to poverty and aids and so on.
Im sorry this was a thred on how contaceptian is linked to adultry sex before marriage lowering of morality. But since you brought this up why dont you just tell your kids how to do drugs without overdoseing I mean if by off chance they go to a party that has drugs and you do try them.Contraception may be essential if you love some one, you are married to them, and you have a very ‘hands on’ relationship, but are not ready for kids, contraception is the best way to avoid unforseen pregnancy.
I mean, lets face it, no matter how much you wish that your kids not to, one day they might have a crazy moment, and sleep with their boy/girlfriend. this means that if they are unprepared, it could result, again, in an unforseen pregnancy. at least for their sake, after punding the ‘know some-one before sleeping with them’ drill into their head, you might wanna say, if by the off chance you do sleep with your boyfriend, use these so you dont die of aids or the like.

hahahaha! you seem very biased, and don’t worry, opinionated is good! i do have rules. if my daughter were 17 and wanted to have sex, I would obviously intervene, but if she was 18, had a job, was at uni or tafe, and had a kind boyfriend who i knew was a good man, i would say ‘As long as you use protection’. as for me not caring about getting one with out her boyfriend, what are you talking about???also, whats up with ’ you are the reason we have so many pre-marital sex’. pre marital sex what ??? are you blaming me for some thing that happens all over the world?Im sorry this was a thred on how contaceptian is linked to adultry sex before marriage lowering of morality. But since you brought this up why dont you just tell your kids how to do drugs without overdoseing I mean if by off chance they go to a party that has drugs and you do try them.
You are basically telling you kids its ok. Think about it you kid gets hot and heavy with her boyfriend in the car he forgot he dont have a condom. Do you think that they are going to stop what they are doing to go to a store? I think not they are going to take the risk.
But thanks for your post. I think I do see the lowering in morality since contaception has come out. My grandfather would never have told my mom if by chance, you should use protection. And yes there was protection back then. Maybe YOU are why we have so many premarital sex. You are exctly the type of parent I dont want my doughter to be dating your son. How about take the time to teach your kid why they should wait. Hey I know why dont you teach your kid how to get one without her boyfriend I mean you cant get any safer than that. The problem is you probly dont even see anything wrong with that.
I know others have said this and the resources given here are great but to add my two cents:I hear alot on why contriception is bad but I would like to hear what people have to say on how contriception can be linked to all the problems we have today in society. Im explaing this to one of my wifes aunts. And I want her to see why contriception is not the answer to poverty and aids and so on.
This is what I was looking for thanks.100 years ago, before ABC was commonly available, women protected their dignity and guarded their purity. They did not go to places or put themselves in situations that may lead to that. And men respected it. They knew that ALL the women were waiting til marriage, so a man knew he better plan on supporting a wife.
Nowadays, men know they can ‘get the milk for free without buying the cow’, so they give nothing in return. Many young women get used and dumped, so the man can go on to the next one. If all the young women would say ‘no, not until we’re married’, the rate of disease and abortion would plummet. Children would again be able to have both a father and a mother to raise them.
100 yrs ago, women did not have the right to vote, own land or their own money. Their husbands had the right to abuse them (and have a honey on the side), the man also had the right to leave his wife and kids, and she had no legal recourse.100 years ago, before ABC was commonly available, women protected their dignity and guarded their purity.

But actually it was this problem that was indicitive of the pendulum swinging towards contraception. I’ve been researching the history of contraception and discovered some interesting things. The lowering of morality can be shown to be caused in part by contraception using this precise example. The current revision of history leads people to believe that women were denied the right to vote by the ‘big bad Catholic Church.’ Not true.100 yrs ago, women did not have the right to vote, own land or their own money. Their husbands had the right to abuse them (and have a honey on the side), the man also had the right to leave his wife and kids, and she had no legal recourse.
Wow! let’s go back to that. You’ve come a long way, baby!
Grave Consequences of Methods of Artificial Birth Control
17. Upright men can even better convince themselves of the solid grounds on which the teaching of the Church in this field is based, if they care to reflect upon the consequences of methods of artificial birth control. Let them consider, first of all, how wide and easy a road would thus be opened up towards conjugal infidelity and the general lowering of morality.
Not much experience is needed in order to know human weakness, and to understand that men – especially the young, who are so vulnerable on this point – have need of encouragement to be faithful to the moral law, so that they must not be offered some easy means of eluding its observance. It is also to be feared that the man, growing used to the employment of anti-conceptive practices, may finally lose respect for the woman and, no longer caring for her physical and psychological equilibrium, may come to the point of considering her as a mere instrument of selfish enjoyment, and no longer his respected and beloved companion.
Prophetic words, indeed.Let it be considered also that a dangerous weapon would thus be placed in the hands of those public authorities who take no heed of moral exigencies. Who could blame a government for applying to the solution of the problems of the community those means acknowledged to be licit for married couples in the solution of a family problem? Who will stop rulers from favoring, from even imposing upon their peoples, if they were to consider it necessary, the method of contraception which they judge to be more efficacious? In such a way men, wishing to avoid individual, family, or social difficulties encountered in the observance of the divine law, would reach the point of placing at the mercy of the intervention of public authorities the most personal and most reserved sector of conjugal intimacy.
