Yet with each passing year, evidence of contraception’s negative consequences keeps piling up, revealing profound repercussions on women, children, families, and society. Some Contraceptives Can Through the Cause Early Abortions Church’s teaching, Advocates of contraception claim it doesn’t cause abortions. However, that God invites us to claim rests on an inaccurate redefinition of “pregnancy” as beginning only after an embryo successfully implants in the mother’s uterus. This, then, a fuller, richer, excludes from the meaning of abortion all pills and devices that cause the death of an embryo before implantation. Yet it’s scientifically indisputable deeper way of life that a new human life begins when an embryo first forms at fertilization—6 to and love. 8 days before implantation. Physicians’ textbooks and handbooks reveal that some types of contraception sometimes work by preventing a living, developing, embryonic baby from reaching the uterus and successfully implanting, which results in his or her death.1 Physical Risks for Women Contraception also presents significant health risks for women. Combined oral contraceptives (COCs), as well as contraceptive patches and the “ring,” have long been known to cause cancer (of the breast, cervix, and liver).2 They also substantially increase the risk of potentially life-threatening blood clots,3 which have resulted in heart attacks, strokes, and hundreds of deaths in healthy young women. Intrauterine devices (IUDs) present other risks. For example, the following are just some of the warnings by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) about one common IUD: septic shock and death may occur in the event of pregnancy; about half of pregnancies are ectopic; the device may embed, perforate, or penetrate the uterine wall, resulting in its migration outside the @usccbprolife [uterus], adhesions, peritonitis, intestinal perforation/obstruction, abscesses, and erosion of adjacent internal organs.4 @ProjectRachel fb.com/peopleoflife From Pill to Poverty Without the contraceptive pill, the sexual revolution couldn’t have happened.

Economist OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS George Akerlof has shown how that dynamic abruptly changed with the Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities contraceptive pill, leading to “the feminization of poverty.”5 Told that the pill would prevent pregnancy, women had sex without the View, download, or order the promise of marriage. Because women controlled the decision to contracept, U.S. bishops’ pro-life materials! give birth, or undergo abortion, however, many men reasoned that they www.usccb.org/respectlife were not responsible for children conceived outside marriage. Indicating www.saintjosephplaincity.com page 4 october 14, 2018 twenty-eighth sunday in ordinary time men’s denial of responsibility: “shotgun marriages” soon plummeted, while out-of-wedlock births nearly tripled. In less than two decades (1965-1984), abortions among unmarried women grew from an annual 88,000 to 1,271,000. Throughout the past decade, at least 40 percent of children each year are born to unmarried mothers is the Holy Trinity. We can do this in a unique way who are often left struggling in poverty to raise through marriage—a vowed communion of a man children alone. According to Child Trends, “in 2015, 43 and a woman who enter a “one flesh” union open to percent of children living in single-mother families bringing forth a new human life. “The whole meaning were poor, compared with 10 percent of children living of marriage is present and signified”9 in each act of 6 in married-couple families.” Poverty and the absence marital sex, so the love-giving and life-giving purposes of a child’s biological father in the home are two of the of sex should not be separated. strongest predictors of poor academic, emotional, and behavioral outcomes in children. At the same time, for serious reasons, in exercising responsible parenthood, a couple may “decide not to have additional children for either a certain or an Contraception indefinite period of time.”10 In these cases, “the Church Is Unreliable teaches that married people may then take advantage of the natural cycles immanent in the reproductive How could abortions and nonmarital births skyrocket system and engage in marital intercourse only during if women are contracepting? With typical use, most those times that are infertile.”11 contraceptives are far from reliable, especially for teens, who are twice as likely as adults to become Thanks to the research of countless doctors and pregnant while using contraceptive pills, patches, scientists, modern, fertility awareness-based methods or rings.7 Every year, one million of the 11 million U.S.
