Are birth control & self-pleasuring murder? Should fetuses get "life certificates" & be counted in the Census?

I ask this question because of frequent linking of abortion and murder. These are real questions based on such a statement.

Answer 1

No - that's ridiculous. Birth control is a great thing - it keeps unwanted children from coming into the world, and children have a right to be wanted. Condoms in particular can save lives, and anyone who opposes the use or distribution of condoms is contributing to mass murder. AIDS is real and it's preventable.

No, fetuses are not yet alive. They have the potential to become alive, but it should be the mother's choice as to whether to allow that to happen. A woman's sexual and reproductive autonomy should be sacred and absolute because she serves the life force by risking her life so others can live. That should never be forced - it's too important.

Answer 2

Some types of birth control do in fact destroy innocent life by acting as abortificients, so would "murder" defenseless preborn infants, by causing the death of the human embryo.

Self pleasuring and other forms of birth control cannot constitute murder, because no conception is involved in the process, so no innocent life is wasted ... unless or until the chosen primary method of birth control fails.

A good case can be made that birth control is quite likely the great deception that leads the whole world into serious error, since God is not likely to continue forever to overlook the murder of the estimated 40,000,000 innocent preborn souls that are typically aborted each year, all around the world.

Answer 3

I don't see how self-pleasuring can be considered murder. There has to be the joining of a sperm and egg to even consider the debate in the first place. Otherwise, it can't be a murder. Only one of thousands of sperm actually get to fertilize the egg, the rest die trying. Does that mean that a man and woman should be put on trial for several thousand counts of attempted murder?
Birth control basically prevents conception, and again, there's no life there, so at worst, it's 'attempted murder' but in my mind, since again no fetus was created, there shouldn't be any debate.

Answer 4

Birth control is pervention of a possible life, not putting an end to it. Self pleasure is.. well "self" no possibility for life to occur there. - If we are going to go down the "spilling of seed" route then everytime a woman ovulates and doesn't become pregant is she sinning? It is a possible wasted life afterall...

If a fetus needs a life certificate wouldn't it also need a death certificate when miscarried? Talk about raising the mortality rate.

Answer 5

As Monty Python has sang... "Every Sperm Is Sacred"

Given that "perspective", yes, birth control and self-pleasure would be "murder" as all those potential "lives" would be "wasted". That's why the Catholic Church frowns upon condom usage and masturbation.

Answer 6

You were once a fetus. Aren't you glad your mother didn't have you murdered?

Answer 7

My answers are "no" and "no."
