Intention is important, but a condom is a contraceptive device at all times. Removing an ectopic pregnancy does not intend an abortion. Condom always intends contraception.

It intends it as a secondary effect when the primary effect is saving the life of the woman. It also preserves the marriage for the good of the other children.

Abstinence always avoids conception, too.

Abstinence always avoids conception, too.

And you know that can be a contraceptive mentality too, but it can be morally licit. Condoms are never licit.
