This is the view I hear all the time on RC web forums and whilst in an ideal world, populated by ideal people it might work, the reality is actually very different. Most informed people accept that the world cannot sustain the current level of population growth. (Not the RC church mind you, who continue to insist that population control is a sin, and in addition, that the population of the Philippines is falling so that it is the duty of people there to increase the birth rate!).Originally Posted by Tawi2
A simplistic view,condensed down into a few short words,if your not prepared to accept responsibility for your actions keep your panties on,the best contraceptive is a short word............NO!
Abstinence will never be the answer in the real world. It fails to recognise the genetically implanted driving force of most men. How can the average woman, already tired from family responsibilities, be expected to always say no and then get her partner to agree? Add ignorance and poverty and you have the real problem. The ONLY way is to accept that non natural contraception is OK. There are many of the RC faith who already accept that. Whether Rome will in time to save the Philippines is another question.
