Description
Issues on artificial contraception, abortion, and sterilization, as they relate to the Catholic Church, the State and women are intricately interwoven into a complex mass. Making Choices in Good Faith tries to unravel this knot. It maintains that the Chruch's teachings - which have evolved throughout almost 2000 years of its existence - reflect a deep-scated mistrst and revulsion of sexuality, of the sexual act, and of women. These teachings, more significantly, have found their way into government policies and programs which, in turn, have affected lives. The book furthermore shows how women and men living through moral dilemmas have to make choices. And while they go through a very difficult and painful process in arriving at such choices, they make them in the best of faith.
