You cannot have it

Both ways

You cannot be against abortion and against contraception at the same time. It is not rational or logical. You can tout contraceptions dangers, you can warn women of side effects, but you can't be against contraception and also want to keep abortion rates down because contraception keeps abortion rates down.
People are going to try to form relationships in healthy manners that involve physical intimacy. People who do not do that do not understand the Humanity of Jesus the same way the rest of us do or believe full lifetime chastity is their calling. That is not how to perpetuate the species or be fruitful multiplying. People try to bond intimately. Sometimes they get it right, sometimes they do not. But it absolutely prevents unwanted pregnancy when people are figuring it out if contraception is used.
Sometimes I wonder what happened to priests to make them reject physical intimacy with women. Were they emotionally scared somehow and rejected deeply in adolescence? Was it beat out of them or were they chemically castrated? I think Seminary must be a gruesomely painful experience. Because it is not a healthy heterosexual response to shut down all feelings of wanting emotional and physical intimacy with a person. Studies even show people who are touched and hugged have healing responses. I cannot imagine Bishops dictating to women decisions regarding contraception. It does no service to the anti abortion movement. Abortions really do harm women deeply phychologically. You should want to avoid them by all legal means necessary.
