You are right that many people view contraceptives as a deterrent for abortions. I happen to think that abortion is the ultimate contraception. I agree with you 100% that the Church was right all along. Contraception has opened the door to so many societal ills, as you mentioned.

Certain types of contraception are dangerous as well, and the medical industry, trying to boost sales for the companies the have investments in, are always pushing for dangerous contraceptive drugs, like the pill. Long term use of the pill is linked to future miscarriages, infertility, blood clots, and breast and cervical cancer.

Yet the medical industry treat the pill like God's saving grace. We are not even forewarned that the pill has an abortifacient component. These are real problems I hope you address in your presentation.

ooops. I mean I agree with Chris West 100%. I saw him a couple of years ago give a talk on the “Theology of the Body” He was able to convey the sensible and compelling arguments that John Paul (the Great) made in his book, very well.
