Contraceptives

Artificial contraception is a silent cancer growing on our society. It will slowly destroy us. Contraception launched the sexual revolution which led to promiscuity, failed marriages, countless STDs and abortion on demand. Men no longer look at women as partners, but as objects.

Several "contraceptives" are in fact abortifacients, meaning they cause early abortions. Oral contraceptives, patches, rings, Depo-Provera and IUDs often cause abortions before a woman even knows she's pregnant.

Contraceptives treat children like a disease. The Bible tells us that children are a gift from God. They are His blessings. An abundance of children is an expression of God's special favor. What right do any of us have to refuse a gift from God?

Cohabitation and failed marriages continue to skyrocket. Couples are no longer able to share themselves with each other totally in the sex act. There is a barrier not just physical, but also emotional, erected between them. They are closing one part of themselves off from each other, and from God. The couple becomes dissatisfied and ends up in divorce. Many in retrospect will see the beginning of the end in their marriage when they shut out the possibility of children.

As for single people: don't have sex out of wedlock. It is a major sin that will annihilate you. As a physician, I stopped prescribing contraceptives seven years ago and I see a tremendous difference in those who contracept and those that do not.
