Contraception within marriage denies the openness to children as one of the primary ends of sex and marriage. It is a revolt against our surrender to the will of God, seeking only the pleasures of marriage without the responsibilities. It is also a invitation to non-marital sexual relations that seek the pleasure of sex as an end in itself. If married couples can engage in sexual activity without the purpose of begetting and raising children, why cannot others?

Wow dude, wow. How absurd. First of all, the adultery analogy is simply a non-starter. There is no legitimate marriage with adultery. There is legitimate marriage with birth control, since most who practice it have also had children. Epic fail on that one.

Also absurd is the notion that within marriage, that sex should always bring with it the possibility of conception. What about those who've had multiple kids and don't want more - and thus have surgically made the decision not to? What about post menopausal sex? Are these not legitimate? That's just ridiculous.

Do you agree that pornography is adultery ?
