Why do so many people that are against abortion also oppose contraception?!


Question: Contraception and sex ed PREVENT unwanted pregnancies, which would also prevent abortion. So why be against it? Not everyone that has sex (married couples included) do it for kids.Research and science prove that The Pill prevents fertilization, and it does not kill a fetus. How can you be against birth control and abortion at the same time? This seems like such a contradiction and makes no sense.

It's quite simple actually. From a more ethic/religious perspective the number one purpose of sex is to produce children. This doesn't mean that the sex you have has to be unpleasant or that you can only engage in sex when you are trying to have a child, but most religions support the idea that couples should be OPEN to the idea of creating another life when having sex. This means no contraception because that prevents it, and no abortion because that destroys it. This is also why most religions teach that you should be married before engaging in sex. That way you can be open to life while being sexually active.

Religious reasons, and they rarely make sense.

alot of the people you mention are religious and they're views are that it is a sin to stop life from happening in any way shape or form, even at the mothers expense, good thing for seperation of church and state

Why? Because they are foolish. Think about it, the very person many religious types WORSHIP was Jesus, a bastard child. Mary pulled the best trick of all time on people everywhere by getting knocked up before marriage and then saying "but the father is GOD, I didn't have sex before marriage!" Maybe some of those unwed mothers should try that now to quiet the religious zealots. I recommend that you stop trying to understand the thinking of religious people, it will just frustrate you. Remember, religion was created by man as a form of social control.

Religion. The bible says to go forth and multiply. Man has interpreted this as only having sex to create children and only then. Which I doubt is what God meant ! Otherwise he would not have made it such a pleasurable experience.

That sounds like a major contradiction to me!

Just a load of 'religious' people claiming that sex is only to have children...no other reason.

I agree with you - it doesn't make sense ! I mean can you imagine the effects on society if no one used birth control. Maybe the religious radicals should be held solely responsible for paying welfare on the people that just keep having baby after baby then ! They might change their tune a bit.

There ae some religions that are opposed to any form of contraception, and there are some that only oppose contraceptive methods that interfere with the implantation of a fertilized egg (such as the IUD, the morning-after pill, and yes, sometimes even birth control pills, which you surely know do not ALWAYS prevent ovulation). People in the second category would have no objections to barrier methods or spermicides.

For the most part, these people do not believe that pregnancy itself is the sin, but that sex out of marriage and abortion both are. That is how they can be opposed to abortion and some or all forms of contraception at the same time. They think that encouraging one sin in order to prevent another is the bigger contradiction. You disagree with them, and they disagree with you. Their beliefs should be no skin off of your nose.

As far as "separation of church and state" goes, surely you realize that it means the state cannot compel a person to go against their religious beliefs, or restrict the practice of those beliefs to the home. Neither can our government decree that practitioners of certain religions cannot become doctors or pharmacists, or hold elected office, unless they are willing to violate the tenets of those religions.

Careful what you wish for. One day it will be your ox getting gored, as the old saying goes...
