Difference between revisions of "Contraception"

Contraception (Lat. against conception) generally refers to devices or substances that prevent pregnancy (birth control). There are many different methods, each having its own level of effectiveness and safety. Abstinence, of course, obviates the need for any form of birth control.

Although some believe that contraception should be a part of education to minimize unwanted pregnancies and the contraction of HIV AIDS, the reality remains that contraception encourages sexual behavior and promiscuity. Since recreational intercourse is a sin against God and all intercourse with contraceptives is by definition recreational (serving no procreational function.)

Those who choose to have more than one sexual partner do so at their own risk and, in a sense, bring the burdens of disease and unwanted pregnancy on themselves. Therefore education and encouragement of contraceptive devices is not useful. ^[1]

This study concluded that abstinence-only sex education did not have an impact on sexual behavior; those receiving abstinence-only education were as likely as a control group to engage in pre-marital sex; had as many sexual partners; first engaged in sex at the same mean age; and were as likely to use birth control, contrary to the findings of some previous studies. <ref> HHS 100-98-0010 “Impacts of Four Title V, Section 510 Abstinence Education Programs” Final Report April 2007  [http://www.mathematica-mpr.com/publications/PDFs/impactabstinence.pdf]</ref>.
