The way they dictate sexuality between a husband and wife. How they consider birth control sinning. Everything is about the embryo and not the person who is living. :twocents:

Everything is about the living. It is all about Life.

And they do. It is called abstaining from marital relations or marrieage until they are in a position to provide care for the children they give birth to. You’re very naive if you think babies just ‘‘pop out’’, either that or you’re just being vulgar, and highly disrespectful to women who have had children.

Excuse me. Pushing them out.😃 Why should they abstain? They are married and should express their love for each other through sexual intercourse. They are being responsible by using birth control so that no unwanted children get “pushed” out. No disrespect to women who want to have their precious “miracles”.

If she is a Catholic she should not have had pre marital sex.

Even if she doesn’t claim to be Catholic or if she isn’t Catholic, she ought not to be having that kind of relationship outside of Marriage, it is still wrong even if she isn’t Catholic.
 
The oddest thing for me as a convert is the Eucharist. I have moments of total adoration followed by the thought that I just knelt in front of a cracker. The real prescence is a gift for me but when I find my body, my whole body in the act of worshipping I am taken aback with the act of faith.

If they want to be obedient to the Church, responsible for their spiritual welfare, they will abstain.

Children are miracles, thank you for noting that. Large families are families that have been especially blessed.

Well obviously she can’t change what she did. So she now has these children. Which if she would have been using something, she would not be crying about her hard life. I

The embryo has to be born to be a “person” who is alive. Not out of sight/out of mind. Out of logic/out of mind, eh?

I’m a tad sensitive on these matters, so I’ll do my best not to fly off the handle here…

I saw my “embryo’s” heart beating two weeks after learning I was pregnant.

How long must a heart beat before my child becomes a “person”?

You are right of course, apologies.

Using artificial birth control isn’t being responsible, we’ve been all through this with you yesterday, do you have a problem with comprehension?

That is if they are Catholic. I doubt spiritual welfare would be in jeapordy. Just because they don’t to “push” out babies.

Big families are overated. I live in one so i know.

A woman doesn’t have to pop out babies to serve God. Women don’t have a choice about how their anatomy is made to urinate. They should have a choice of when babies pop out of them.

It seems that you’re implying that as a woman, my only choice is to conceive or not to conceive. I think my choice is to engage in sexual intercourse or not to engage in sexual intercourse [after all sex is what makes babies…]. I believe I have enough self-control to avoid having sex until I’m ready for the responsibility of children. I don’t feel oppressed - I feel liberated! How awesome is it that I can conceive, carry, bear, and nuture a child?!

I live in one too, my mum is one of 19. They are blessings.

Wy do you doubt it? On what authority?
 
Here is another excellent resource
thepillkills.com/points.html
The birth control pill and similar birth control products work in a woman’s body in one of three ways: It can prevent ovulation and it can obstruct sperm from reaching the egg (prevent fertilization) by thickening the cervical mucus. However, if both of these methods fail and a new human person is created, the pill and other contraceptives can stop a tiny child’s implantation in his/her mother’s womb because the pill irritates the lining of the uterus so that the tiny baby boy or baby girl cannot attach to the lining of the uterus and the newly formed human person is aborted and dies. This is called a chemical abortion.

Be quiet and get back in the kitchen until you’re ready to give birth again.
