There are better places to get health care, and for a Catholic, contraception is mortal sin.
That is YOUR opinion. You do not get to make that choice for other women. Most Catholic women of childbearing age use some form of ABC, despite Church teachings.
Another Planned Parenthood supporter?
Actually, it’s the clear teaching of the Church. If a woman wants to go to Heaven and be with Jesus, she should not be using contraception. (Nor should she be having sex at all during her fertile season if she is not open to the new life of a baby in her womb, whatever the reason may be.)
Catholic Church says using contraception is a mortal sin. Church teaching is truth and if people dissobey that teaching then that is on their conscience that they will face God with
Heaven is not a democracy - the fact that “most” women (or anybody) do something is not actually an endorsement of the behaviour - it just means that a lot of people commit sin.
As Cardinal Arinze paraphrases it (and I’m paraphrasing him), it’s as if one were speaking to a member of Congress and said “personally, I’m not in favor of shooting the whole lot of you, but if someone else wants to do it well, that’s just their choice.”“I don’t defend slavery. I only defend the right of rich people to own poor people, if they so choose.”
“I don’t support mysogyny. If a man wants to beat up his wife, it is his own business.”
Is there any difference, here?
Catholics for Choice:bigyikes::bigyikes: Can we get an “anathema” please?
Yes. Both examples you give are illegal.“I don’t defend slavery. I only defend the right of rich people to own poor people, if they so choose.”
“I don’t support mysogyny. If a man wants to beat up his wife, it is his own business.”
Is there any difference, here?
If you have never used contraception, then maybe you will get to heaven. But I wouldn’t hold out much hope of seeing your fellow Catholics there. Almost every Catholic woman of child bearing age has used contraception at least once.
That’s what parents are for. Hopefully yours have taught you what they believe is the correct way to live your life. But unfortunately, things don’t always go to plan.
They haven’t always been. Within my own lifetime, mysogyny was not only legal, it was expected - just the way things were.
If she confessed and repented, then I’ll see her in Heaven. But I’m not going to Heaven for the popularity contest - I’m going because that’s where Jesus and Mary are.
Misogyny is not illegal. Beating your wife has always been illegal. I support the right of women not to get beaten.
I know two - and I know of a great many.
