Contraception: The Cause of All Our Problems

Prior to the cultural acceptance of artificial birth control, unmarried people more widely abstained from sexual intercourse out of the fear of getting pregnant. Homosexuality was obviously viewed as contrary to the natural law because it was not ordered toward generation. And abortion wasn’t seen as an answer to something that went wrong in the sexual act. Contraception is the cause of all our problems regarding sexuality. When either the unitive or procreative aspects of the sexual act are intentionally missing, sexuality becomes disordered. Thus, it loses the moral compass of right reason to help it reach its end goal of human flourishing. Today, because of a prevailing contraceptive mentality, society is experiencing an endless host of sexual sins.
