This article is about girls being pressured not to use birth control...

 

"In cases of reproductive coercion or "contraceptive sabotage," the ob-gyn group said doctors can help women obtain safe and concealable birth control, such as emergency contraceptive pills packaged in plain envelopes or intrauterine devices with trimmed strings."

 

To me, this is just sick. The plan is not to tell girls to stop having sex, because that would just be out of the question. The plan is to keep their birth control a secret and give them abortion pills. We are so backwards.

The ob-gyn group said doctors can help adolescent women obtain STD treatments too.

But it's still wrong for men to coerce a woman into anything, even if he is wanting her to make a moral choice.

 

Sure, using an IUD is a very serious issue and a sin. But that does not mean a man has a right to remove it. That's violating.

I'd think a husband does, at least in a Catholic marriage. The woman (and man) made a promise to non-contraceptive intercourse. Obviously not remove by force, but to coerce or pressure his wife to not use contraception definitely...

If anything, what would be violating is a man or woman requiring the spouse to have contraceptive intercourse.

Did you read the article?

 

It's actually trying to make women aware of coheresion from MALES who may be harming them.

 

"Doctors can also give women safety cards, hotline numbers and referrals to domestic violence services, according to the committee opinion published in Obstetrics & Gynecology."

 

The birthcontrol part is second...they don't believe birth control is morally wrong, but they are trying to help women who may be abused.  Most probably come from abusive households and are using the relationship to escape.  simply saying "don't have sex" isn't going to help.  It's about getting woman the reasources that will save their lives, and perhaps get them to a better place.  That's where we as Catholics should step in and be at the end of those lines, running the shelters, etc, so that a woman who has decided to leave a bad relationship will learn morals she was never taught.

He doesn't have the right to coerce her. He can ask. He can refuse to have sex with her. But he can't coerce, threaten, or deny her love. But I hear (and essentially agree with) you.

 

What I'm recoiling from is an "I'm your spouse and I say you have to go have that taken out" scenario. That's just not the right way to go about it.
