Contraception

             Contra means against, ception is conceiving life. That is why we have the word contraception, against the life. Many people engaged in using contraceptives, may be  they are not prepared or may be for some women they don't like to bear a child because it might disfigure their body and some would have the feeling that it can take much of their time to have a child. In the church perception, they would not tolerate this kind of practice because this is aborting the plans of God because God intends to fill this world with people. The church believes that life starts when there is meeting of sperm and egg cell and nothing should be done against that life. The stand of the Church remains that this is really against the moral law and even God's law. God is the author of life and nobody should be taking away that life as He is the one who creates lives. The Church is really against any activity or undertaking that could hinder, that would block and go against the plan of God.

               In the government perception, RH Law is one of the keys to minimizing overpopulation that can lead to poverty. The governments blame overpopulation as one of the causes of poverty. But many of us would not agree with this because if there is a proper distribution of wealth, if there is only an eradication of corruption, then that money being stolen by some of our brothers and sisters in the government  would have been shared to the people. If this money stolen by them is being shared to everyone then it can minimize poverty. Also those people who are rich, they should be generous, they should share what they have because that is what God intends for them to become rich so that by being rich they can share their blessings to other people. In general, overpopulation is not the problem but rather the selfishness.

               All of us have many opinions about contraception, but we should always remember that we need to be responsible enough of what we are doing and choose the right decision. We should always pray to God and ask guidance. To avoid in engaging such activity, we need to know our limitations.
