"Like is it really reasonable to distinguish between 'natural' contraception and 'man-made' contraception." Yes, this is exactly where I trip up. Having practiced natural birth control – and the most natural form of natural birth control, at that – I can confirm that it's no more "natural" than taking the Pill. If the Pope had said, "All attempts to regulate birth are unnatural," that would have made sense, but as you say, I think he's being a technophobe. One might just as well argue that it goes against natural law to take an aspirin rather than to practice spiritual healing. Heather |
