hi everyone, I just want ask your opinion, most of you here maybe already live in a society practicing the used artificial contraceptives for it is in your law. I live in society that mostly people live have conservative views in life, using it is really a great debate, since it is proposed into a law. I just want to ask your stand on it. tnx.

Hundreds of millions of sperm are released each time a guy ejaculates, even in a successful conception hundreds of millions of these die.
I suppose some people might feel bad for the deaths of hundreds of millions of potential children, but I think most realise that they are in fact single celled organisms and they don't even have the same genetics as a human being.
I personally have more moral qualms killing an ant than killing sperm. This is because I know ants have brains. (multiple brains each actually)
However the decision is always up to you, you decide when the sperm become potential people, whether it's while they are still in the testicles or when they have finally reached the egg or if it some other time. It is your decision always, no one else can choose your morals but you.
For me I believe it's about 20 days from fertilization since that's when the nerves and other vital organs begin to develop.

Personally I think that the problem is: "free sexuality" can difficulty be controlled nowadays and one must choose between avoiding it and riskying an unwanted pregnancy.
We know that an unwanted pregnancy often leads to abortion, that is definitely ethically worse than contraception and that in many countries is also practised illegally with lots of risks for the women too.
Here in Italy lots of Campaigns are done in schools about sexuality and contraceptive use. That's because here the age of the 1st sexual approach has sensibly lowered to 14 and because abortion has generally lowered except for immigrants and teenagers.
I think that the use of contraceptives must be left to the coscience of everyone, but the Governance shouldn't hinder it as it only brings woman to ask for abortion.

For family planning, it is unavoidable to use them making the use of contraceptives practical. You cannot tell married couples to abstain.
To term the use of artificial contraceptives as "immoral" is wrong. But for Catholics, it is immoral.

The argument that it is immoral I feel is anti-women, women are the ones who have to bear children and give birth over and over again, because someone has decided contraception is 'immoral'.
Contraception allows women whether married or single, with children or without a little more freedom to decide what they want to do with their lives.
Also, speaking of morality, if you are very poor and would sell the gold you have for money because you can barely feed the children you already have, is it not immoral to bring another child into the world and into poverty?

Intention and object for using contraceptive is noble and good. It can never be immoral.
