Is it immoral to give a raped woman the morning after pill?

I spy Julian of Norwich in there! Can't think how she ended up there

I'm trying to remember whether I was around for the whole Isidore of Seville choosing. I have a feeling I was, though I don't remember it

Maybe as it's a student room, we should choose someone like St Thomas of Aquinas?

I have no idea!

Isidore of Seville is patron of Internet and students, so he may well be the best option, but I reckon all current posters should get a say

If people made a few suggestions, I could add a poll.

Shall sort that for you now. Sorry was out at a gig

I Jesus!

:jebus:

Come back to us?

Yay! 100th post...

Best I say something worthwhile though.




As far as rape is concerned, in a legal sense women should have the liberty to opt for an abortion.

That being said two wrongs don't make a right. The baby, who begins living upon conception, is irrefutably innocent of his/her parents' actions. It is horrid that millions upon millions of children have been murdered because their parents made a ''common mistake''. Conception is no mistake, the child is God's creation and belongs to Him.

Since there are rarely any complications towards the mother, one should take note that there are thousands of Catholic agencies which are more than willing to take the child in. Adoption, not murder...

Then you are a christian but not a catholic. Please go an get a better understanding of your faith.

Just remember, the tax collectors and the prostitutes will enter the Kingdom of God before the Pharisees.

How self righteous! Just remember, the tax collectors and the prostitutes will enter the Kingdom of God before the Pharisees.

If one disagrees with the Church, there are thousands upon thousands of Protestant sects to choose from, all with their own respective interpretations of Christianity. No one is forcing you in staying in one of the world's most conservative bodies...

I am completely against abortion in every circumstance. The morning after pill does not cause abortion, let alone murder. It is completely moral and in accordance with God for a raped woman to take emergency contraception.

No one is forcing me to attend mass, and nobody will force me to leave. You should be welcoming everyone to church, even those who do not agree with you! Christ himself wanted an inclusive church, full of all people in society. Jesus said "As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions."

It's the teachings of the Church.

The Church teaches that natural is morally acceptable.

No, turn to the index of your RS GCSE book and look for "double effect".

Yes.

one who disagrees with the teachings of the catholic church/catechism is not a catholic.

If every mind in the world thought contraception was intrinsically right, then the church would change its views. Contraception isn't mentioned in the bible.

I never studied RE, nor did I sit GCSEs.

If it prohibits life then it is not moral and not in accordance with God.

Are you still misunderstanding what is being said here. This is not down to anyones opinions, it is the teachings of the Church.

"Some have argued that it may be immoral for Catholics to provide any contraceptive measures at all to a woman who has been raped. Such a view is incorrect, however, because a woman who has been sexually assaulted is clearly entitled to protect herself from the attacker’s sperm. The Church teaches that rape is not a unitive act that requires openness to procreation. It is rather an act of violence against another person, and the woman is allowed to take steps to prevent the possible fertilization of her own egg(s). It is permissible, then, for Catholic hospitals to provide their patients with morning-after pills [in cases of rape]."

Seems like you're not in accordance with the church. Better go and evaluate your faith
