The broadcast is being praised for having raised publicly that contraception leads to abortion and is contrary to the Catholic faith.
What a crock.
Used correctly, contraception CANNOT lead to abortion. If there's no baby created, there's no baby to abort.

Used correctly, contraception CANNOT lead to abortion. If there's no baby created, there's no baby to abort. You should look to see the mechanisms that the birth control pill and the IUD use prior to making a blanket statement such as that. Those two methods are inherently abortifacients.

Used correctly, contraception CANNOT lead to abortion. Used correctly, no contraceptive in the world has a 100% success rate. (Unless you count abstinence, and the Church has no objection to that one.) The effectiveness of condoms used correctly is only 85%.
Even the Supreme Court in the Casey decision justified abortion by arguing that it was necessary as "backstop" contraception.

Have you ever heard of Onanism? Poor Onan was "smitten dead" by God. Mull that over.

I think the point here is that if an unmarried teen is using contraception, that teen is having premarital sex, which is against Catholic teachings.
It seems to me that Sean has the view that it would be best for teens to abstain, but if they choose not to, it would be better for them to use contraception than to create an unwanted baby.

###"Used correctly, contraception CANNOT lead to abortion..."###
The problem with your statement is that those who use contraception and follow with an abortion are teenagers for the most part. Also those who have very little self control.
Those people are emotionally strained during their sex endeavors and that is where contraception is not used correctly.

Many forms of "contraception" are actually abortive. IUDs, Norplant, and Birth Control Pills all kill babys AFTER they have been conceived.

I think this whole issue was created by people who were not getting any and are jealous that everyone else that they knew is getting some.
