is using contraceptives moral or immoral?

Answer 1

IT IS IMMORAL!! making love is sacred, when you used contraceptives it violates the right of love

Answer 2

It really depends.

And it's the main abortion question all over again... when do you think life begins?

That's the question... going on that... different kinds of birth control may or may not seem immoral to you.

The copper IUD for instance does not prevent fertilization of the egg. But doesn't allow it to attach to the uterine wall. If you believe that life begins when the egg is fertilized. Then you may or may not think that flushing the "baby" out is moral.

Some religions believe that life begins before that... and therefore even masturbation can be a waste of life.

Just figure out what you personally believe. And do your research on your contraceptives. If none of them appeal to you... then abstinence until you want children seems like the way to go. Best of luck!

Answer 3

I feel that using contraceptive are not only moral, but socially responsible as well. There are so many people having children who are completely incapable of being a decent parent, which is obviously bad for the child, but also for the social services, tax payers, educators, etc who have to intervene in order to make sure the child is raised properly.

I understand that there are some religious beliefs which state that birth control is immoral, but I think those are out-dated theories.

Answer 4

There was a time, not too long ago, that I was okay with birth control. However, last fall, I began to feel differently. Not only with the whole preventing a child from being conceived and born thing, but with the method we were using (condoms) and whether or not it was environmentally friendly, especially with the way with which it was disposed. I felt bad about both aspects and what we were and weren't doing. I began to feel that what we were doing (using birth control, what we were using, and how it was being disposed) was Christian and that maybe we shouldn't be doing all of that.

Well, we ran out. Neither of us cared. We knew we were in a great spot in our marriage, my husband is just a year away from graduation, etc. We decided that if God wants us to have a child now, God will give us a child. We were birth control free for two or three months before I conceived. Maybe because we quit using contraceptives and disposing of them the way we were and the fact that we knew that God had strengthened our marriage after being emotionally separated for a couple of years, all factored in. I don't know. I just know that our first child is due in September, she's moving around in me as we speak and that we are happy and undeservedly blessed.

Had we a baby just even a year ago, especially two or three years ago it may not have been a good thing. My husband and I weren't relating as a married couple should, we were barely talking to each other, let alone anything else, and it probably wouldn't have been good for us or the child. In some ways, I don't feel as though we have really been married until the last year or so, when we began talking and relating the way we should. Yet, now, this pregnancy has only brought us closer together. I just know that God's timing is perfect, and that's what this is.

Also, I was raised in a Christian home. My mother told me that if I was going to do it before I got married, then to use birth control. While my husband and I were celebate before we married, I was not a virgin. Had I baby when I was in my late teens early 20s, I would not have known what to do with him or her; I wasn't very mature myself. So, even though I did have sex before I married, I suppose that me not having a baby at that time in my life was a good thing.

Personally, I reccomend staying celebate until marriage. At least if you become pregnant then, there is theoretically less of a chance of one of the parents running off, abortion (which is even more wrong than birth control; I consider abortion murder), a husband and a wife who don't communicate well trying to raise a child, etc.

Answer 5

I think that using contraceptives being moral or immoral has to b a personal decision. I am a very religious person but for me using birth control was the right decision for me.

Answer 6

I guess everyones beliefs are different and there is no one right answer - but what I could never understand was that people who claim to be Christians and do not believe in birth control believe that it is ok to track your ovulation and not have sex during fertile days. Isn't that birth control, too? I never could figure that out.

Answer 7

I think it's ridiculous to consider birth control immoral. All we need are more pregnant teenagers.

Answer 8

Why would it be immoral? It is a way to prevent unwanted pregnncies and abortions, which are indeed immoral!

Answer 9

it depends on your religious beliefs. many religions have different views. and many people who are not religious have different views.

so basically i don't know, is it?
