       Birth control has become increasingly popular world wide, even in Iran, a Muslim nation. Among the greater consequences of birth control is sterilization.

       Among the most rapidly growing of specialties, in the field of medicine, is that of the fertility specialists'. The number of women who become sterile following the use of birth control is increasing proportionately. By using birth control women act against their natural profession in life, that is, to bear and nurture children. (The fact that it is against the primary command of God, twice stated in the book of Genesis, "Be fertile and multiply," or against the statement in 1 Timothy 2:15, "A woman's salvation is through the bearing of children," is not the thrust of this document.) With few exceptions women will sooner or latter want to have one or more children. This includes cases were either the husband or wife has undergone a sterilization procedure. Almost any woman will lack a sense of fulfillment without at least one child. In the long term there is no greater yearning than that for motherhood.

What of those women or couples who are naturally infertile?

       Teachings of the Catholic Church make it abundantly clear that only natural sexual intercourse may be used to procreate. The use of fertility drugs, in vitro fertilization, cloning, and any other unnatural method of producing a child is considered a mortal sin. In the case of the sin regarding in vitro fertilization, wherein one or more fertilized ova are destroyed for selective implantation, there is the concern of the implementation of the sentence of automatic excommunication. (In regard to sterilization procedures [such as vasectomies and tubal ligations] -- according to the moral requirement of restitution -- it is necessary to submit to an operation to reverse the sterilization process. This is required when the funds are or can be made available and an operation is accessible.)

What should a married couple do that strongly desires to have children?

       Few will want to recognize that God, in His infinite knowledge and mercy, will allow infertility, even to people who profess their belief in God, as a test of faith. Do they really believe in God or are they to be counted among the hypocrites?

       There is a staggering number of children, average age between 8 and 9, who are desperately in need of someone to love and care for them. How many married couples have the faith to recognize that all children, regardless of human parentage, are children of God and therefore are brothers and sisters in need. (NOTE: Healthy babies of preferred race and sex are in great demand. Applicants for these babies exceeds the numbers that are being surgically aborted.)

       God is the individual creator of every person's eternal spirit. It is for this reason that everyone who lives in faith will be brothers and sisters of Jesus in eternal happiness. The body, which comes through human sources, ceases to exist at death. Every trial and tribulation which comes through the love and care given to an otherwise unwanted child will bring greater reward in Heaven than the same events are apt to bring in relation to children by nature.

A purposed order for consequences of birth control are as follows:

1. To be considered an act of sodomy!
2. Loss to future generations of billions, even trillions, of offspring of those not conceived or aborted following conception!
3. Murder - Many abortifacients such as the pill and IUD induce abortions (See Pharmacists for Life International)!
4. The effects on the woman and society due to the devaluation of life.
