“In destroying the power of giving life, through contraception, a husband or wife is doing something to self….it destroys the gift of love in him or her.””Once that living love is destroyed, abortion follows very easy. The husband wife must turn the attention to each other, as happens in Natural Family Planning, and not to self, as happens in contraception.” St. Teresa of Calcutta
“In some critical aspects abortion is of the same character as the decision to use contraception ….for two decades of economic and social developments, people have organized intimate relationships and made choices that define their views of themselves and their places in society, in reliance on the availability of abortion in the event that contraception should fail.” Supreme Court in Planned Parenthood vs. Casey
