Improving the analogies in contralife arguments: The consistency of catholic teachings about regulating births
Heythrop Journal 49 (3):442-452 (2008)
Abstract
This paper discusses the analogies that proponents of contralife arguments have used to distinguish contraception from periodic abstinence or natural family planning. I criticize these analogies and present a new analogy that better illustrates how contraception can be contralife when periodic abstinence are not.Author's Profile
