They are His blessing on those whom He loves. An abundance of children is an expression of God's special favor. Instead of the world's attitude that children are bothersome nuisances that prevent us from enjoying our hard earned wealth, we know that any amount of wealth is useless if you don't have children to pass it on to. We believe that all children are good, and beautiful things. Although some pregnancies may occur under tragic circumstances, each child is an occasion for celebration.
C ontraceptives degrade women.
From the day in junior high when a woman menstruates for the first time, a woman's fertility is a huge part of her life. If her constantly changing hormones were not enough, for five to ten days every month she gets powerfully reminded again and again that this body of hers was designed to conceive and bear children. When a woman uses contraceptives, she and her partner are actively rejecting this essential fact about herself. Her ability to become pregnant, one of the biggest determining factors of her life, becomes unacceptable, and a burden. The father of the child, although he is as responsible for this child as the mother, feels free to abandon both of them.
