If they really believed that, they would use NFP, which is free, always available, instantly reversible, and has no potential health complications.

We should place our hand firmly on the Bible or the Church or Christ ... but we choose our guide through our own reference. We think it leads to love and closeness. Yet it actually leads to division and resentment and use of each other.

The Pill is our foundation. The Condom is our health savior. The Morning-After Pill is our hope. We have no control over our appetites. Oh, the tragedy of self deception. Especially when how we treat the least of our brothers is how we will be treated. Our spouse, as the least of our brothers, deserves not to be used.

Lots of good observations there! Family planning is not the only area in which our culture wants to substitute technology or drugs for wisdom. Drugs or surgery to be thinner, instead of eating and exercising sensibly. Drugs to “fix” unhappiness, boredom, or quirks of personality.

It’s so much easier to take a pill (or make someone else take a pill, such as one’s wife or son), rather than embracing the reality that God created women to have babies and boys to run and jump.
