I can see how one can be against abortion, contraception and sex ed. But I think this is just not a realistic stance. Teenagers that don’t know about how things work, still have sex and then children.
The Catholic Church has even major problems keeping their own priests celibate as the number of pregnancies and child abuse cases show. That should tell them something.
The whole thing reminds me of the war on drugs or prohibition before. It’s a moral stance that makes sense but it’s just not realistic and has shown repeatedly to not work and do great harm to society.
Considering all alternatives it seems to me that contraception is the least harmful and easy to implement measure. It has shown to be successful and is way better than abortion or teenage moms. I think it’s it irresponsible by the church to be against contraception.
There are a lot of other moral issues they should strict on first. For example they should examine their long time support of dictators like the nazis. They had a great opportunity to speak up back then but chose not to.
