14.  ON MORAL ISSUES: Those who say
contraception is morally wrong do so for a
variety of reasons.
 Contraception is inherently wrong
• Contraception is unnatural
• Contraception is anti-life
• Contraception is a form of abortion
• Contraception separates sex from
reproduction

15.  The natural consequence of having sexual
intercourse is conceiving a child. It is wrong to
interfere with this. Therefore, birth-control is
intrinsically wrong.
 This argument depends on two other ideas:
•it is wrong to interfere with the natural order
of the universe
• human beings interfere with the natural
order of the universe all the time

16.  This argument is based on the premise that life
is a good thing.
 of this view argue that contraception is morally
wrong because:
• life is a fundamental good - it is a good thing
• those who use contraception are engaged in
an intentionally “life ending" act because they
intend to prevent a new life coming into being

17.  Some birth control techniques can operate by
preventing the implantation and development of a
fertilised egg. Those opposed to such methods say
that this amounts to an abortion, and that if
abortion is wrong then those forms of
contraception must also be wrong.
 The forms of contraception included in this
objection are:
 • some birth control pills
 • most modern birth control pills
 • the "morning-after" pill
 • the IUD

18.  Contraception makes it easier for people to have
sex outside marriage.
 This is certainly true, since sexual intercourse
without contraception carries a significant risk of
conceiving a child, which most of those having sex
outside marriage would regard as a deterrent.
 People think separating sex from marriage is
wrong because:
• it makes immoral behavior less risky
• it undermines public morality by making it
more likely that people will have sex outside
marriage
• it weakens the family

19.  All major denominations in America support the morality of
contraception as a personal and family decision—one that helps to
ensure responsible parenthood and healthy families.
 • Episcopal Church approved contraception for purposes of
family planning.
 • United Methodist Church says that “each couple has the right
and the duty prayerfully and responsibly to control conception
according to their circumstances.”
 • Evangelical Lutheran Church of America supports the use of
safe, effective birth control methods and believes that they
encourage “responsible procreation.”
 • Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints supports all methods
of contraception except surgical sterilization
 **Other Christian denominations that support contraception
include the United Church of Christ, Unitarian Universalists,
Mennonite Church USA, and Church of the Brethren.
