People can live in sexual purity.
If you don't have sex, you don't get pregnant, contraception or no contraception. We need to talk about sexual integrity in our lives, and the sacrifices we make for the sake of being able to save ourselves for the ones we love. Contraception doesnt require integrity, it doesnt require sacrifice. It doesnt make you a woman of character and courage.
Your will to be strong against temptation makes you a person of integrity.
A culture of integrity would reduce the number of little boys who grow up into rapists, because their mother and father taught them how to live well, respecting themselves and the people around them. It also helps us avoid "inconvenient" pregnancies outside of marriage, which would reduce even more "cause" for abortion and eliminate contraception altogether.
Do a little research.
We are being lied to every time someone says (sometimes out of ignorant concern) contraception is the answer to abortion. Contraception facilitates and even leads to abortion. Ever since contraception was legalized in the early 70s, abortion rates have soared. Many contraceptives are abortifacients. If a guy is asking you to use contraception, he in not showing love to you, and you are not loving yourself or your children. You are putting yourself at risk to abortion, breast cancer, blood clots, pain and anxiety, the abortion mentality when you are "surprised" by an "unexpected" pregnancy (if you were having sex, then you should not be surprised. Life finds a way) etc, etc, etc. what contraception is really saying is, "yes, have sex, for whatever reason, or lack of reason. Oh wait--" Just research. Look it up on the WHO and Planned Parenthood. Contraceptives are not the answer.
If you can't support yourself, then don't have sex. If you love someone, then give yourself to them in marriage, and whether you are financially stable or not, pray, hope, and make the struggle as a family. Depend on the grace and Will and design of God. Not artificial contraceptives (and of course not abortion). Those "easy answers" are easy in that they are available and seem to eliminate problems, but they are NEVER answers.
Contraception tells you the same lies abortion tells you: have sex without consequences; you aren't ready to have a baby; it's not really a baby unless...; there's little chance of survival because...etc.
Look at your body. Were you designed for artificial infertility? For fruitless sex? Do your organs correspond so perfectly with that of a mans so that you cannot have children? Does his seed go in search of your egg so that you cannot have children? Do post-abortive parents live in depression because the sexual act and the life of a child are not all connected, as God intended? Are love and commitment not possible and essential to raising a family and supporting spouses? WE are capable of life, love, commitment, and things we've never dreamed of before! Do not stifle your great gift of womanhood with contraception!
live as people of good character, because in the end, what a child needs most is guidance. And as an individual, no matter what situation a child is born into, they have the ability to make anything of themselves that they desire. Real parents don't contraception or abort, they give life and teach their children to live with goals and integrity. That is courage. That is pro-life and whole-life. Meet your struggle for greatness head on, and don't give up! God doesn't want you to give up :)
We are called to be lionesses--bold, daring, fiercely faithful, vigilantly protective. Your mates in life should be like lions, so that you can look up to them and they can receive you worthily.
And this lady who shared her story showed true courage in giving life in spite of her circumstances. Teach your child to have big dreams for her life.
Don't just be pro-life, be whole-life!
God bless you and your family. Praying for you!
Till lambs become lions!
