Birth Control

From the Catechism of the Catholic Church

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).

What you may not know about the Birth Control Pill is below

Many people who believe that Human Life begins at conception are not aware that the everyday Birth Control Pill can kill human life within days after conception.

What Happens? The Pill usually keeps the woman from providing an egg. When this happens, conception does not happen, but have you heard of friends who got pregnant on the Pill? – The Pill does not always stop the egg from being provided (even when taken correctly) so conception can and does happen. The Pill also tries to make the woman’s body reject a conceived human life. Every month the Pill makes the woman’s womb not want to accept a baby embryo so if conception does happen then the new human life starves to death without the food from the womb. The makers of the Pill did this on purpose just in case an egg did get provided and then conception occurred.

It is a backup plan, but happens.

This information is stated in the technical fine print on the slip of paper with the Pill Prescription. It may read…

“The pill causes …changes in the endometrium (which reduces the likelihood of implantation).”

To a person who understands that human life begins at conception this indicates that users of the everyday Birth Control Pill could be conceiving children only to have them die days later.
