There will be no compromise when it comes to the Catholic Churchs position on Artificial Contraceptives!
Monsignor Pedro Quitorio III (CBCP)

It does not compromise its teachings. If contraceptives are immoral, nothing can change that. there are simply some truths that are not subject to compromise
Monsignor Pedro Quitorio III (CBCP)

Why is the Church against Artificial Family Planning?

OUR ETHICAL CONCERN!

IT IS ESTIMATED THAT A SEXUALLY ACTIVE WOMAN WILL EXPERIENCE AT LEAST

ONE VERY EARLY ABORTION EVERY YEAR THAT SHE IS ON THE PILL or other
Artificial Contraceptives.

TRUTH ONE: Promotion of contraception does not prevent the spread of abortion.
Since it facilitates promiscuity.

One of the little known facts about birth control pills and contraceptive devices is that, even in their normal use, they can be abortifacient. "The word 'abortifacient' means 'having a secondary effect of not allowing a fertilized egg (a baby) from implanting, and therefore killing the baby

TRUTH TWO

CONTRA against Ceptives Conception

MALE Condom Vasectomy FEMALE Spermicides Diaphragms Cervical Caps IUD Pills Injections Hormone Needle Implants

KINDS of CONTRACEPTIVES
IUD placed inside the womb. -makes the lining unsuitable for implantaion. Injectable hormone is injected. It also prevents implementation.

KINDS of CONTRACEPTIVES
Sterilization fallopian tubes are tied and cut. Irreversible.

Vasectomy - prevents the releas sperm when a man ejaculates

What a Woman Should Know about Birth Control

BY CHRIS KAHLENBORN, MD AND ANN MOELL, MD

THE BIRTH CONTROL PILL IS USED BY OVER 10 MILLION WOMEN IN THE US AND ABOUT 4 MILLION OF THOSE ARE UNDER AGE 25.
THE PILL CONSISTS OF A COMBINATION OF TWO TYPES OF ARTIFICIAL HORMONES CALLED ESTROGENS AND PROGESTINS. IT WORKS BY INHIBITING OVULATION AND SPERM TRANSPORT AND BY CHANGING THE LINING OF THE INSIDE OF A WOMANS UTERUS.

EFFECTS of Artificial Contraceptives:

1.Inhibition of ovulation, 2. Inhibition of sperm transport, 3. Production of a hostile endometrium, which presumably prevents or disrupts implantation of the developing baby if the first two mechanisms fail
William F. Colliton, Jr., M.D., FACOG Clinical Professor of Obstetrics and Gynecology at George Washington University Medical Center

PILLS
The Pill does not reliably prevent ovulation 100% of the time. When ovulation occurs (perhaps 3-10% of cycles; more often probably with the 3-month shots or the implants) conception can occur.

Medical side effects:

The birth control pill increases the risk of breast cancer by over 40% if it is taken before a woman delivers her first baby. Other side effects that women have experienced include high blood pressure, blood clots, stroke, heart attack, depression, weight gain, and migraines.

Other SIDE EFFCTS:

Diabetics who take oral contraceptives may note

increased sugar levels. Some women who stop taking the Pill do not have a return of their fertility (menstrual cycles) for a year, or even longer.

Contraceptives treat children like a disease. Modern society often views them as things to be avoided so that must take medicine or have surgeries to avoid them.

TRUTH THREE: The Overpopulation Dilemma is a Hoax!

1. Failure in the proper care of people is not caused by increase in its numbers.

2. At the heart of these problems, an attitude of selfishness and of injustice.

TRUTH FOUR: Population is not the cause of poverty

1. On the contrary, its growth continues to boost our economic status since the manpower level increases. 2. Presently in the U.S. and in dozens of other nations, there are not enough live births to maintain the current populationThats why they need laborers!

A number of nations today are experiencing population decline, Japan Russia including Kazakhstan, Ukraine, and now Italy. Countries rapidly approaching population decline Greece, Spain, Finland, Austria.

more than 2

billion pesos is allocated for the

implementation of the programs supported by this pending House

Bill 5043 or the Reproductive Health Bill of 2008?
