Question
Is there ever a responsibility to use contraception?
Position1 of 2

Yes, we do have a responsibility to use contraception

We have a duty to be cautious of our actions, if we do not take accountability over how and when we use contraception, this may lead to disastrous consequences.

  1. Family planning
    We have a responsibility to use contraception so that we can decide when we would like children, how many we have, and how far apart the pregnancies should be. Without using contraception for family planning, this may also have fatal consequences on the wellbeing of the infant.
  2. Effect on women's lives
    We have a responsibility to provide contraception to women so they can enjoy sexual activity on the same basis as men, whilst still having the autonomy to decide whether they want to become pregnant or not. Without providing women with contraception, it is sexual discrimination.
