My wife and I decided that 3 kids was enough, and then I got a vasectomy. How is that wrong?

The key word is "decided". The ability to decide is what separates man from beast. The ability to actually implement one's decisions effectively is what separates advanced societies from primitive ones.

The opposite of unconditional love is 'planned parenthood.' I know that sounds harsh and very hypocritcal from someone who also had only 3 planned children, but, really now, shouldn't a child be loved just because they ARE, not because they fit into a parents plans? After all, no child is perfect enough to fit our true 'plans.' The whole idea of 'planning' children fits into a selfish lifestyle that we shouldn't be bothered by 'unwanted people.'

It's a whole thought system.

IF suddenly another child was shoved into your life (pregnancy, adoption, space aliens cloned/doubled one of your children) would you love another child just because he was there?

Ignore those who may think your decision is wrong.

However, had you have had 6 kids that you couldn't afford and ended up on government assistance - you would have been told your wife should have kept her legs shut. This is one of those occasions where you're damned if you do - damned if you don't.

Because you created a breach in human sexuality; now it’s strictly for pleasure. It WAS a Christian tradition, now it’s only the Catholics who are supposed to recognize this Truth. If sex is merely for pleasure how could homosexuality be considered wrong?
