The document discusses various topics related to contraception and teen pregnancy. It provides definitions of contraception, describes different contraceptive methods like birth control pills, patches, shots, IUDs, condoms, and emergency contraception. It also discusses abstinence. The document notes that while contraception is important for preventing teen pregnancy and STDs, some view it as morally wrong because it separates sex from reproduction or can interfere with natural processes. However, most major religious denominations support contraception as a personal choice that enables responsible family planning. The document concludes by listing some common contraception myths.

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.
