Honestly, that's not why I post about it, xzins. To us, its just a normal, integral part of basic pro-life work.
It was the overturning of the Comstock laws in Griswold Vs Connecticut, laws written by protestant legislators in the late 1800s outlawing the sale/distribution of contraceptives, that formed the legal groundwork, the so-called right to privacy, that is the foundation of Roe Vs Wade.
Its no secret that the legal construct in Roe Vs Wade is directly drawn from Griswold Vs Connecticut.
Likewise, for anyone with eyes to see, its no secret that societal acceptance of contraception is directly responsible for legalized abortion.
The US Supreme Court understood this perfectly:
Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the recent Supreme Court decision that confirmed Roe v. Wade, stated, “in some critical respects abortion is of the same character as the decision to use contraception . . . . for two decades of economic and social developments, people have organized intimate relationships and made choices that define their views of themselves and their places in society, in reliance on the availability of abortion in the event that contraception should fail.” The Supreme Court decision has made completely unnecessary any efforts to “expose” what is really behind the attachment of the modern age to abortion. As the Supreme Court candidly states, we need abortion so that we can continue our contraceptive lifestyles. It is not because contraceptives are ineffective that a million and half women a year seek abortions as back–ups to failed contraceptives. The “intimate relationships” facilitated by contraceptives are what make abortions “necessary”. “Intimate” here is a euphemism and a misleading one at that. Here the word “intimate” means “sexual”; it does not mean “loving and close.” Abortion is most often the result of sexual relationships in which there is little true intimacy and love, in which there is no room for a baby, the natural consequence of sexual intercourse. Contraception enables those who are not prepared to care for babies, to engage in sexual intercourse; when they become pregnant, they resent the unborn child for intruding itself upon their lives and they turn to the solution of abortion.
So working to raise awareness of the inherent sinfulness of contraception is simply the most basic and most desperately needed and foundational pro-life work in our world today.
Abortion follows contraception as night follows day, without exception.
I think the apostasy on birth control was the beginning of the Great Apostasy that has been foretold.
All the arguments over justification, salvation, faith and works, faith alone, etc., these are just human games of semantics. We all believe in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, on both sides of the aisle, and we see different facets of the infinite gem that is the Grace of the Blessed Trinity, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. So Christianity can persevere indefinitely with these human limitations of understanding, all of which represent various facets of the Truth of our salvation in Jesus Christ. One group just overemphasizes one facet to the detriment of others, and those who prefer other seemingly opposing facets anathematize their perceived enemies.
Enemies? We're all followers of Jesus Christ!
But there comes a point where moral theology is involved at which we're no longer talking about semantics and hermeneutics.
We're talking about calling good, evil, and calling evil, good.
And that's where we are with contraception and Christianity.
Well, at least I was close. :>)
