If sex education and contraception decrease unwanted pregnancies, why then are there more unwanted pregnancies NOW than there ever were BEFORE contraception was legalized?I am very sorry for your loss.
However, your loss has affected your judgment.
The RCC not only opposes abortion, it opposes sex education and contraception, which both decrease unwanted pregnancies and therefore abortion. It lumps masturbation and fornication together as mortal sins. Its policies, if anything, only increase the likelihood of abortion by increasing unwanted pregnancies.
The Church opposes contraception because it devalues humanity. Contraception is the means to which one person says to another that their only worth is what they provide sexually to another to satisfy that person’s sexual desires. It distorts sex’s true meaning and secularist’s equate it to a jog in the park.
Sex’s true purpose can ONLY meet it’s fulfillment in marriage. It is an act that is at once spiritual AND physical-it involves the entire person, not just one aspect. And when the act is abused for selfish purposes we have all seen and many have experienced the negative effects of such abuse.
The Church’s policies give us a choice. To either love our brothers and sisters as children of God and respect them as such, or to abuse that gift at their expense while at the same time offending God by telling Him, “Not your will, but MINE, be done!”
