More importantly the procedure removes the uterus and without that pregnancy is 100% impossible.Would you mind providing a source for how hysterectomies can "also cause the death of a new human after conception"?
This seems objectively false, considering that the procedure removes the ovaries, and thus the eggs that would contribute to conception in the first place.
Why would he even have written what he did in the statement below?Where do you get the idea he's "trying to shame" people?
Both female sterilization and hysterectomies (through a different mechanism than that of the birth control products listed in the first paragraph) and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can also cause the death of a new human after conception and are also bad for a woman's health.
Not everyone follows the teachings of the Catholic Church on family planning and Birth Control. The evidence tends to show that their teaching is the most healthy to follow.Indeed, but most normal people will believe that contraception is critically important.
This means there will be a lot of children in Heaven. Matthew 18:3 "Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."so what if the majority of people in heaven are the unborn? What difference does that make?
They spay cats all the time without checking. With cats the choice is to spay or euthanize in order to control the population because they reproduce so fast. If people do not spay then the conditions rapidly become unhealthy and they have to go in and euthanize them.No gynecologist in their right mind would ever preform surgery on a women reproductive system without running pregnancy tests.
Are you trying to be funny?They spay cats all the time without checking. With cats the choice is to spay or euthanize in order to control the population because they reproduce so fast. If people do not spay then the conditions rapidly become unhealthy and they have to go in and euthanize them.
I am talking about wild or the feral cat population.Are you trying to be funny?
Cats are not human women. What is your point?They spay cats all the time without checking.

The point is that birth control has to be weighed against the consequences. We need to look at the warning and make an educated decision. We can not stick our head in the sand and ignore the problems associated with a drug or a medical procedure.Cats are not human women. What is your point?
And you think my comment was suggesting that anyone do that? I assure you I was not.The point is that birth control has to be weighed against the consequences. We need to look at the warning and make an educated decision. We can not stick our head in the sand and ignore the problems associated with a drug or a medical procedure.
That goes for all prescriptions and medical procedures. I don't think anyone is arguing against that. However your equating a pregnant cat being spayed to a woman undergoing a hysterectomy was suggesting that the gynecologist would continue with the surgery despite discovering the woman was pregnant. That is absurd.The point is that birth control has to be weighed against the consequences. We need to look at the warning and make an educated decision. We can not stick our head in the sand and ignore the problems associated with a drug or a medical procedure.
There is nothing in scripture to say that the gentile "unbirthed" have salvation. A case could be made for unbirthed Jewish children under the Mosaic covenant; but not gentiles then or anyone now under the New Covenant.You might find this thread interesting: Life at conception + unborn child salvation = birthed ppl minority Heaven
If we're talking about automatic salvation, then yes. Even with the Jewish unborn in the old covenant, I'm not sure they would be automatically saved.There is nothing in scripture to say that the gentile "unbirthed" have salvation. A case could be made for unbirthed Jewish children under the Mosaic covenant; but not gentiles then or anyone now under the New Covenant.
Paul makes it clear who a true Jew is. Being circumcised in the flesh does not make one a Jew.Salvation is by covenant. Infants born (or unborn) under the Mosaic covenant (which was a salvic covenant) were in good standing until they did something to disqualify themselves - "cut off" was the terminology in the Law. That is why David could say of his infant son with Bathsheba (conceived in adultery) who died shortly after birth "I will go to him but he cannot come to me." 2 Sam 12.23b
Those covenants were not salvic.Even the Jews believe that the gentiles are under the covenant that God made with Noah. And going back even further we could say that all men are under the covenant that God made with Adam and Eve.
Please explain what you mean by that?Those covenants were not salvic.
