    In the 2002 Neil Noesen case, a woman in Wisconsin went to fill her prescription at a local K-Mart, only to be refused by the only pharmacist on duty at the time, Neil Noesen, because the aforementioned pharmacist was a strict Roman Catholic, and it would be against his principles to give someone contraceptives. In addition to this, he believed it would also be wrong to transfer the prescription so that it could be filled by someone else. The district manager knew Noesen would not dispense contraceptives, but was not aware that he wouldn’t at least transfer the prescription. In this situation, the issue revolves around the woman’s right to have access to birth control, and Noesen’s right to exercise his religious freedom.…

    A highly contested and widely disputed debate that splits people in opinion is the debate over contraception. The Catholic Church definitively and completely states that contraception is wrong. But, in the encyclical by Pope Paul VI, an alternative option is offered: Natural Family Planning (NFP). This method teaches to utilize the infertile parts of a woman’s cycle to prevent a pregnancy. In the Encyclical Humane Vitae , Pope Paul VI argues that this method is within the precepts of the church and is not wrong, because it observes the natural law, it allows for union and procreation, and is faithful to God’s design.…

    America freely offers a wide variety of contraceptives, including implants, patches, pills, sponges, and rings. According to Our Bodies Ourselves, in the Griswold v. Connecticut case of 1965, the Supreme Court granted married couples the right to use birth control, although they were still unavailable to millions of American women. In 1972, birth control was legalized for all American citizens through the Baird v. Eisenstadt case. It wasn’t until the 21st century that the government started closely regulating the safety and effectiveness of birth control, and in 2013 emergency contraceptives became available to females without a prescription (Thompson). The Center for Reproductive Rights states that half of the six million pregnancies in America…

    In order to understand the Catholic Church’s stance versus the science approach to contraceptive use, it is foremost important to understand the purpose of contraceptives. First, there are multiple forms of contraceptives, however, the two most common are birth control and condoms. Focusing on birth control, “the Pill was first approved in 1960, [and] birth control continues to work in only one of two ways: by preventing fertilization or by preventing ovulation” (Watkins, 2012, p. 1462). Birth control has changed and developed immensely over the years. A long time ago in AD 354-430, Augustine took a stance on birth control saying “it was gravely (a mortal sin) if married people had sex when they knew they could not have a child” (Kelly, Magill, ten-Have, 2013, p. 96).…

    It also undermines a basic principle of real health care, which has a responsibility to affirm how a healthy body functions, always treating it with respect and reverence because it is integral to who we are.” In our book for class, “Living and Loving as Disciples of Christ” it has a chapter which talks about the sixth commandment which is “You shall not commit adultery.” According to our book, the use of contraception goes directly against the sixth commandment because it is thought that when one is using artificial birth control, they are not fully giving themselves to their partner. The sixth commandment’s purpose is to protect the integrity of marital sexual relations and the Church believes contraception in any form damages the integrity of such a relationship. Despite the overwhelmingly practical and logical implications of contraception such as condoms, the Church still maintains that it is a morally unjustifiable…

    Contraception has been a controversial issue for many years and today the conflicting views of Catholic Church and Secular Society will be explored. Contraception, sometimes know as “birth control,” is defined as the deliberate prevention of pregnancy or conception, through various methods including: abstinence (refraining from sex), natural family planning (coordinating the woman’s less fertile time to have sexual intercourse or the withdrawal method), and many artificial means including, condom use, permanent implants, the pill and post-intercourse contraceptives. In Australia, evidence shows that a wide range of contraceptive methods, including withdrawal, sponges and condoms were being use during the early 20th century (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2006).

    During 1900 B.C. people would use an assortment of potions to prevent birth, however, modern day, the use of pills, condoms and the tying of the female fallopian tubes seems to be the primary choices, yet the Church’s message remains the same. In fact, Contraception is directly addressed within the Catechism when it states, “The Church, nevertheless, in urging men to the observance of the precepts of the natural law, which it interprets by its constant doctrine, teaches that each and every marital act must of necessity retain its intrinsic relationship to the procreation of human life.(12)” It is the belief of the Church that God has forbid the use of contraception because it prevents His plan from being carried out through the creation of sexual intercourse. Another example of the reaffirming of the Church view surfaced in 1968, when it was addressed by Pope Paul VI who issued his landmark encyclical letter Humanae Vitae (Latin, "Human Life"), which reemphasized the Church’s consistent teaching that it is always intrinsically wrong to use contraception to prevent new human beings from coming into existence. While many different Churches have allowed their view on Contraception to be altered in order to please the public, the Catholic church has stood strong in its resolve to oppose the use of contraception despite the changing times.…
