The Church’s Stance on Pills: A Closer Look at Viagra vs Contraception

How is it that women can’t get their pill, but men can get their pill? Well, as it happens, the church answered that very question 12 years ago. Viagra actually answers a medical problem. Contraception is a choice that somebody may make, but it doesn’t answer a particular healthcare need. Two things. Why? One, does 12 years ago look like the 70s on television? Is it really advanced that far in 12 years? And two, so the Catholic Church says a boner is a need, but not getting pregnant is more of a want. By the way, while I was surprised that the Catholic Church is pro medically induced boners, I was even more shocked at the ad it ran to show its support. Now, uh, You never know when the spirit will move you.
