IS IT OK TO USE CONTRACEPTIVES IN ORDER TO AVOID HAVING MENTALLY CHALLENGED OR DISABLED CHILDREN?

Hello Josemaria Lazaro...


If the woman will poison her body with Contraceptive chemicals before or after the sexual union it is more possible for the child to be mentally or physically challenged/disabled. Because instead of having normal process there is chemical pollution and contamination. To have normal children it is advisable not to take contraceptive medicines so that the body of the mother is free of any foreign chemicals that mighg affect the natural development of the child.


That case I think is classic: THE END DOES NOT JUSTIFY THE MEANS. The purpose seems to be good but the means is not. Much worse the means could be the source of the evil that the mother intentionally trying to avoid.  

Also, essentially speaking that intention is very barbaric and pagan. It reminds me of the Spartans who were killing the children who were found to be physically or mentally defective by hurling them on cliffs. The Catholic Moral stand is that if ever the child is defective he or she deserves our respect as equal human being and must be given extreme care with love because of the fragile condition. Our Catholic moral stand is to accept them with love and affection never the attitude of rejection. That is why the charitable institutions of the Church provide for the care of these children especially those abandoned by their parents.

    Good morning, maitanong ko lng po kung kasalanan ba gumamit ng injectibles ang isang babae para ma stop yong blood loss niya? Ligate na po siya, at nagkablood loss po siya dahil: call center po nagtratrabaho.. second, she bleeds a lot during her period a reason maybe she had her blood loss.Now the doctor recomend to have an injectibles to stop her monthy period for three months... Now as a husband, confused po ako, kasalanan bang gumamit para matugunan ang need nang wife ko po? Salamat, I am confused Father, sana matugunan po. Salamat, and God Bless.

  2. DEAR ANONYMOUS CONCERN HUSBAND,

    FIRST AND FOREMOST, ANO BA ANG INJECTIBLES NA BINABANGGIT MO? ARE THEY INJECTIBLE MEDICINES TO STOP THE BLEEDING FOR CONTRACEPTIVES? IF THEY ARE CONTRACEPTIVES THEN IT IS IMMORAL BECAUSE THE GOAL IS NOT TO STOP THE BLEEDING BUT TO PREVENT PREGNANCY. KUNG ITO AY GAMOT TO STOP THE BLEEDING AT HINDI CONTRACEPTIVES THEN HINDI ITO MASAMA.

    YAN ANG HALIMBAWA NG PANLOLOKO NG RH BILL. SABI NILA SAFE AND OK ANG LIGATION. LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR WIFE NOW. DINUDUGO. MARAMING BABAENG NAGPA LIGATE NA GANYAN ANG NANGYAYARI. ASK THE HELP OF OTHER DOCTORS. I THINK THE BEST THING TO TO IS REMOVE THE LIGATION SO THAT THE BODY OF YOUR WIFE CAN LIVE NATURALLY AND NORMALLY. UNLIKE NOW THAT IT IS UNNATURALLY LIGATED. I WILL TRY TO CONTACT PRO-LIFE GROUPS WITH DOCTORS IN MEMBERSHIP SO THAT YOU CAN BE ADVISED ACCORDINGLY.
