"Generations for Life" (linked on the right) is a pro-life website dedicated to bringing to light efforts to advance the pro-life cause and bring an awareness to people about what abortion is. There is a category on the website titled "Contraception" which includes all the articles or notes written on the subject of contraception. However, I have a question: is it necessary to be against any method of contraception if you are pro-life?
I'll post my thoughts on that later, depending on what type of response I get.

No. As long as the contraception is not abortive, it shouldn't be a problem for those who are pro-life. As a Christian, I think that there can be wise use of contraception if it is used for the right reasons (to become wealthy or to live a convenient or leisurely life are not good reasons). For example, a couple might put off procreation until they are done with schooling or until they are financially stable. They may also want to limit the number of children they have (knowing that God can override them!) because of financial, time, or ministry issues. Unfortunately, most who desire not to have children at all do so for selfish reasons.
Behold, the triumphant return!
I make my return to the world of blogging in order to answer your question with one simple word:
Yes.
Regrettably, the time constraints of my life (and the baby) mean that I cannot provide a defense of my answer at this time. I have many arguments in support of my position, but you have already said that you will wait to see how many responses are forthcoming before posting a proper response yourself. So be it - I shall hold my arguments until such time as you have posted a proper explanation of your own position. Ronnica has stated hers, but I shall wait to hear the words of Teresa first. *smile* Hopefully when the time for a full-length argument arrives, I will have a bit more time on my hands.
teresa, watch the o'reilly factor tonight! maybe you heard about the minutemen "incident" on columbia's campus the other day -- various individuals who were involved in the snafu are making an appearance. i'm not just telling you this because my school will be in the news, but because it's a very interesting debate! check out www.bwog.net for some interesting commentary!
also, chris kulawik (the guy who will appear on fox news) is not a nice person (coming from someone who knows him).
i should also say, contrary to the message that fox news is conveying, that it was, in fact, the college republicans who were the first to throw punches and kick people! no offense to you or your husband, i know that neither of you would have incited violence :)
