So what about a spouse sterilizing themselves to prevent their loved one from becoming pregnant, which puts them at risk medically?
Well, again I’m no priest or moral theologian. But in my opinion, when you make the decision to sterilize yourself, you’re already on shaky ground.
That’s a tough situation, but I think ultimately you have to be obedient to God rather than the docs and to side with what Christianity has always taught on this. Praying your heart out all the while. Good things come from following Him even into the Valley of the Shadow of Death.
