And it's the whole life begins at conception thing too. Because they can't figure out, or god forbid make up, the moment when the soul exists they save time and go back to sperm+egg. Technically preventing implantation is equivalent to abortion as the Church sees it.

The whole thing is a clusterfuck. So focused on black and white yes/nos that you can't promote condoms to prevent disease.

And this is what I will never understand or agree with. How can you be so concerned with the afterlife and unborn fetuses that you are not concerned with the lives that are already here and will be greatly impacted. What about this woman's other children? Do they not deserve a mother because of one child that is not even in the world yet and will likely die anyway? Religion or not, this is ridiculous! Sometimes as human beings, we just have to use our common sense. No disrespect to the Catholics, but I am sooo not a fan of the Catholic Church. At the end of the day, we all know that much of their rules serve man, not God. Yeah, I said it!!!!
