I’m a lifelong Protestant, but the Catholic position is, in general, the right one on this.
At the heart of the abortion problem in our culture is a rejection of God’s design for marriage and sexuality. This includes treating children as an inconvenience or burden, and the desire to pursue unbridled sexual pleasure with no accompanying responsibility.
A Christian marriage must at least be open to having children. Raising children in the fear and admonition of the Lord is a basic Christian duty and fundamental way of serving God in every generation.
What of age as a factor, when people live longer than before?
A 50yo may be virile & healthy & economically sound, but the prospect of offspring leaving home at age 70 is daunting.
I agree. I am also Protestant, and it took me a while to see it, but the Catholic position on this is the correct position, in my opinion.
Amen.
