That's interesting about the terminology. I was never aware of that.

I still oppose abortion/termination personally. I cannot say what I would do in the event that I was pregnant and there were medical necessities, but I do know the reason I have a 17 year old is because I find abortion morally wrong (when it wasn't medically necessary). I also have a problem with women using termination as a form of birth control...I've known women to do that and it horrifies me. Of course, it is her right, absolutely, and I do not believe that abortion should be made illegal, if only because I fear a return to the pre-Roe v Wade days.

I suppose to some it may seem hypocritical that I am ok with birth control, but not with abortion/termination for anything other than rape/incest or medical necessity...

I'm not a Catholic (Southern Baptist actually), but I'll just give my opinion. I don't have a problem with most birth control methods. What I think is wrong is having more children than you can afford, forcing them to live without, and taking a scripture out of context from the Bible to rationalize it. Personally, I don't like "the pill" (mainly for the side effects). I am definately against abortions at any stage (besides being sinful, it's repulsive). IUDs are very questionable to me as well.

I also wanted to add that God said multiply to Adam and Eve, to populate the earth. I do not think that command is meant for every person. It can interpreted all different ways, I know. I just don't take it to mean that every couple has to have a lot of kids(unless they want to).

I don't think that is actually a commandment. It is a blessing that God pronounces both upon human beings and upon animals a few verses earlier. That Word of blessing is what caused the reproductive process to happen at all, as well as continue on today. Similar to God saying, "Be light," resulting in there being light in the beginning.

I definitely don't agree with the idea that procreation is the sole purpose of sex, such that even a married couple who engages in sex while intentionally avoiding conception is sinning. It doesn't come from the Bible, but from thinking such as that of Augustine, who saw sex as at best a necessary evil.

I have often found the teachings of the Catholic church a mystery. Where is the biblical reference?

There are 10 commandments and the two great commandments in the bible outside of this people should consider how these apply to any situation.

Contraception (In my opinion) does not contravene any of these.

Actually, there are 613 commandments of which the 10 are only part and a summary of the others which go into more detail.. half of the ten are how to love your neighbor and half are how to love your G-d.

None of my posts have ever been helpful. Be forewarned.
