Contraception prevents abortion

Sun., Aug. 19, 2012

In regard to Greg and Ann Jones who bravely stated their opinion about their church: I do not believe that an intelligent God would decree that every one of the thousands of eggs that a woman is endowed with by nature should be regarded as sacred. Nor do I believe that the millions of sperm that men produce be endowed with such status.

I was a Catholic for many, many years – nice people, lovely church, beautiful ritual. But I would only return when the people in charge figure out that contraception prevents abortion.
