Pray for and end to

contraception and aobtion

and the conversion of America to life!

[Salvation]

                From the Catechism of the Catholic Church (click on the book for the link.)    

2399 The regulation of births represents one of the aspects of responsible fatherhood and motherhood. Legitimate intentions on the part of the spouses do not justify recourse to morally unacceptable means (for example, direct sterilization or contraception).

 

2370 Periodic continence, that is, the methods of birth regulation based on self-observation and the use of infertile periods, is in conformity with the objective criteria of morality. These methods respect the bodies of the spouses, encourage tenderness between them, and favor the education of an authentic freedom. In contrast, "every action which, whether in anticipation of the conjugal act, or in its accomplishment, or in the development of its natural consequences, proposes, whether as an end or as a means, to render procreation impossible" is intrinsically evil:

Thus the innate language that expresses the total reciprocal self-giving of husband and wife is overlaid, through contraception, by an objectively contradictory language, namely, that of not giving oneself totally to the other. This leads not only to a positive refusal to be open to life but also to a falsification of the inner truth of conjugal love, which is called upon to give itself in personal totality. . . . The difference, both anthropological and moral, between contraception and recourse to the rhythm of the cycle . . . involves in the final analysis two irreconcilable concepts of the human person and of human sexuality.

I’m for rampant procreation myself.

[Pyro7480]

Because the results of this study run counter to most of the other which say the opposite.

[RockinRight]

If it’s rampant procreation of conservative patriots, I’m all for it.

That isn't how the pill works. The pill forces menstruation even if there is a fertilized egg implanted in the uterine wall.

You are confusing the "day after pill" with the standard oral contraceptive "pill". There is no fetus with standard oral contraceptives because no egg pops out to be fertilized.

The ignorance demonstrated on this thread is astounding. I thought most pro-life folks (myself included), exception to Catholics of course, were comfortable with contraception that prevents conception (i.e. a zygote).

Why are people ragging on the pill? Is this the Freerepublic or the flatearth society?

I was going to give you a pass until you got rude.

The Pill works in a couple of ways. One way is to prevent ovulation. The second way is to change the lining of the uterus so that a fertilized egg cannot implant, IN CASE the Pill did NOT prevent ovulation.

[Maynerd]

Once again you are confusing the day after pill with standard oral contraceptives. Ovolation is surpressed ergo no fertilization. Hypothetically, if ovulation was not surpressed your aborticant scenario may be true. But it is rare and little more than a weak rationalization against OC.

As this thread demonstrates there is no shortage of exaggeration and misinformation regarding the pill.

I've confused exactly nothing. Ovulation is NOT ALWAYS surpressed, although, I agree it is a main goal.

How common this failure is, I have no idea. I did, however, experience it personally, for about 6 months on one particular pill.

I suspect it is more common than you wish to believe.

Pregnancy is possible even with the pill. It’s in the warning that comes with the package.

I wonder what child-bearing does to the risk of cancer later in life?
