We have a debate about contraception. What do you are the best things to say for defense?

Question

We had this little debate in school about contraception. The topic assigned to us was "anti-contraception." At first I thought it was good, but now that I think about it, it's kinda hard to come up with things to say aside from its bad side effects. What else can we add to convince them that they should be "anti" instead of "pro?" I really need help. This is for our school grade.

Answer 1

The world population is one very good reason to support the use of contraception as a mean of birth control and to reduce birth rate. There are 6 billion plus people in the world; there are over 240 million right here in the U.S.  Population in this country alone double about once every 30 or 40 years. What we, as a nation, should be doing is discouraging couples from having more than 1, maybe 2 children, at the very most. We should be setting stricter requirements for marriage and parenthood. People should not be permitted to marry and create children until they have completed at least a 2-year educational program in managing long-term relationships, and show evidence of being able to obtain and support a career that will allow for adequate care of a family.  If we did just those two things, it would solve many of our social problems.  It would reduce the need and cost of building more jails, prisons, and mental institutions.  Such action would ultimately strengthen the family unit and, at the same time, build a better human being and citizen.

To continue along the same marriagal and reproductive path that we are currently on, will ultimately destroy our society and country.

  

Answer 2

Birth control, sometimes synonymous with contraception, is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of pregnancy or childbirth. "Contraception" may refer specifically to mechanisms that are intended to reduce the likelihood of a sperm cell fertilizing the egg. Birth control is commonly used as part of family planning.

Where to its total opposite anti contraception is to ban birth control. It is mainly imposed in countries having low birth rate. The anti-contraception viewpoint is presented as being largely driven by the desire to keep s*x and reproduction linked, although it does not address how this excludes infertile couples (except by also opposing fertility treatments that generate unused fertilized cells).

Answer 3

It's a good way to populate the world.  *shrugs*

To look at that word, it's kinda funny, because anti means against, and contra means against.
