I used to believe in birth control as a means to reduce the number of unwanted pregnancies and abortions, but I changed my mind. Here’s why.
In 1968, Pope Paul VI wrote Humanae Vitae and was mocked for it. He saw exactly where we were headed.
He predicted that widespread contraception would open the door to more infidelity, a lowering of moral standards, and men viewing women as something to use instead of someone to honor and protect. This is what happens when we separate sex from commitment and from the possibility of life.
Contraception didn’t reduce abortion; it helped build the mindset that made abortion inevitable and provided another opportunity to profit off women’s bodies.
When society is told that it is possible have sex without consequences, the baby is viewed as a failure.
A child is not a failure. We shouldn’t be surprised that a child results from a procreative act.
We fail ourselves by dividing sex from the goodness God created it for. We fail our children by viewing them as accidents.
