I regretted the snark in my post, right after sending it.

However, terminology does matter — and your original post was phrased as a question about terminology. We saw, in the Hobby Lobby brouhaha, how the other side plays fast and loose with terminology. They deliberately drew no distinction between “contraceptives” and “abortifacients” — either lumping them together in the super-set of “birth control” (which you did also), or completely mislabeling “abortifacients” as “contraceptives” (which are not the same thing at all).

Other than the problem with terminology, I agree with you.

I lump them all together as the Church does, they all come from the same mode of thinking, the same addictions and all lead to the same ends.

The other side sees it that way as well.

This side can NOT win in a state of moral relativism. The other side will take advantage of that weakness every time, and that’s what is going on.

The theologians and Christian philosophers state that birth control is evil, leads to evil and cannot be adhered to without great consequences.

That’s what you’re seeing.

This is a surprisingly short read. It takes a bit of concentration, but it is logical, so it is available. It was published in 1968.

Just read it.
