- Now that argument doesn't make too much sense since it's still possible for
- conception to occur even when "artificial" means of contraception are used,
- and especially if it's God's plan for conception to occur, then there wouldn't
- be much we could do about preventing it, is there? It seems to me that the
- whole idea has to be that you shouldn't oppose God's will and whether you do
- so with natural of "artificial" means is irrelevant - none of the methods are
- absolutely preventitive and even if so there could always be a miracle.
