We can add human biology to the subjects you are clueless on. A simple hormone test determines whether a woman is pregnant or not. It can take up to six days for a zygote to be formed and up to 10 days for implantation. There is nothing morally wrong with a morning after pill you nutcase.
Do you believe contraception is morally wrong? Should condoms be banned again?
How many people who are not devotedly religious, and specifically RC, have you met that believe people should not have sex unless it is for procreation purposes? *
Even RC teaching has given up on this one, interesting you still cling to it.
Sex is the cause of pregnancy, if people engage in sex they should be prepared to accept the consequences of it, which can be a child. If that is a responsibility they donât want to have they should not be having sex.
Itâs a bit like getting behind a wheel when youâre under the influence of alcohol, it can have consequences, you could kill or harm someone or yourself, go to jail, get disqualified etc. If youâre unwilling to live with the consequences of your actions then donât do it.
Do you believe people should only have sex if they want to procreate? What about contraception, are people morally justified to have protected sex with their partner where pregnancy is not desired?
Do you accept thatâs a view only held in this day and age by asexuals? Have you met any others who hold this view? I have to admit I donât personally know any asexuals, which I suppose is why Iâve never encountered this strange view before.
If youâre not prepared to face the consequences of your actions, then you shouldnât engage in that action. If a drunk driver gets behind the wheel and causes an accident or gets caught then he/she should have to face the consequences - likewise in a pregnancy.
A rule of life determined by whom? As I said I have never met someone in real life that holds this view, and I suspect I have interacted with a lot more humans than you have.
Whatâs your view on contraception, you appear to be dodging that question. Is the use of contraception immoral? Should condoms be banned again?
Saint Thomas Aquinas, greatest Catholic theologian of all time, a father of the Church, thought that the embryo started off with the soul of a plant, then developed the soul of an animal before finally graduating to having the soul of a person. That happened around the time it developed the capacity for rational thought as far as I know, but maybe Iâm misunderstanding him.
As far as I know he had a whole hierarchy of souls, with angels evev higher up the ladder than people. He said that people start at the bottom of the ladder with plants when then are conceived and then climb gradually throughout pregnancy. He had none of our culture wars, right wing-left wing, liberal-conservative cultural baggage that we have today. He was just a great and moral man thinking his hardest about a difficult question with no pre-conceptions.
Back when I went through my atheist pro life phase I got obsessed with the idea that I was surrounded by heartless murderers and living through a genocide. I remember one morning it was the very first thing I thought of when I woke up. But that was deeply unhealthy and damaging to me.
You donât have to be pro-choice mate but donât deliberately hurt yourself by looking for the bad in people. Nothing good will come from arrogance. A lack of humility is unCatholic. A Christian has to see the positive in his neighbours. Self-harm is also anti-Christian, whether itâs physical, psychological or spiritual.
