It is an excellent satire piece. It is the way we are going so it will not be satire for long.
After contraception was introduced, I believe it was Pope Paul 6 (someone correct if I am wrong) that said the stages if this evil was accepted would be, contraception, abortion, infanticide, uptick in murder battery domestic violence, eugenics, euthenasia of the terminally ill for “mercy”, selective birth for characteristics, and willful murder of those without a quality of life deemed worthy of living,including the elderly, infirm, and mentally or physically challenged.
Catholics poo pooed him in large numbers saying none of this would ever happen, remember, abortion was not legal at this time, nor was technology available widely to do many of the things we do like stem cell stuff and the like. But he had knowledge of Hitler and his death camps, experiments on humans, and acceptace and encouragement of abortion. Things that most people did not talk about above a whisper and never in mixed company.
Seems as though we are there and then some, and in a much shorter time span than anyone would have thought.
You both are right. My religion does not forbid contraception but definitely discourages it. And there is no artificial contraception that works 100% for married couples (obviously excepting abstinence) anyway; G-d has a hand in that too. I know a woman who gave birth to a healthy child after having her “tubes tied.”
Only the Almighty has a right to say who belongs here on the planet and who does not. We are not dogs to be either neutered or “put to sleep.” (Not meaning to insult our fine canine companions.)
