You are apparently on a one man quest this evening to convince the readers of FreeRepublic that contraception is evil.
Have you ever been a woman with a medical condition that meant pregnancy was very dangerous for you, yet you wanted to enjoy sex with your husband?
No, I didn’t think so.
Begone troll.
What is the reasoning behind this statement?
Are we to understand that risking one's life to give another life is somehow not a Christian way of thinking?
Are we to understand that enjoying sexual pleasure is more important than doing what God wants?
Sometimes life requires us to choose between doing what we feel like doing and doing what is right. In fact, this is a constant fact of life.
Condoms have a real world failure rate of 7-15%. Other barrier methods are similar.
The pill (and all other hormonal contraceptives) is about 95 to 98% effective, but it is very dangerous, with risks including blood clots, strokes, heart attacks, and breast cancer. Plus it is abortifacient, so its not permissible for any Christian who takes their faith seriously.
So what options are available for committed Christians who need effective options, i.e., facing a medical condition that meant pregnancy was very dangerous for you?
