Okay, in defense of the OP, it was that women are perceiving as having a duty to reproduce, that they're somehow a failure if they're not popping out babies. It was an incorrect view of women based off of a Huffington Post op-ed piece.

However, yes, kids are awesome. They are also a brilliant excuse to go back to Chuck E. Cheese.

And animated movies. Of course my kids are getting to old and won't go anymore. Boo.

If you examine Catholic doctrine on marriage, it does appear that having children is considered the reason to marry. Consider the Churches position on birth control.


Contraception is wrong because it’s a deliberate violation of the design God built into the human race, often referred to as "natural law." The natural law purpose of sex is procreation. The pleasure that sexual intercourse provides is an additional blessing from God, intended to offer the possibility of new life while strengthening the bond of intimacy, respect, and love between husband and wife. The loving environment this bond creates is the perfect setting for nurturing children.

But sexual pleasure within marriage becomes unnatural, and even harmful to the spouses, when it is used in a way that deliberately excludes the basic purpose of sex, which is procreation.

Which of course activist feminists such as yourself hate,since your agenda is to tear down the male role in the family and remove all bonds with men.

I know a lot about the Catholic Church. My family is many generations Irish Catholic.

Your posting history on the Catholic Church SCREAMS otherwise.

I point out that the Catholic Church considers procreation the main reason for a married couple to have sex, and further considers sex without the motivation to conceive to be perverse.

Consider the theme of the OP. Women have a duty to reproduce. According to Catholic doctrine, married women and men have a duty to reproduce. Do you think the Catholic Church tears down the male role?

Stay on topic please.

All of your topics are the same. Women are oppressed by men blah blah blah. Just because you mix up the form of the attack...doesn't mean the agenda is not there.

Women have a duty to reproduce is the topic. I argue they don't. The RCC says otherwise.

If you see survival of the human race as important, women have a duty to reproduce. If animals are more important than humans it doesn't matter.

[Wind Song]

OK that's at least two of you who think it's a woman's duty to reproduce. Does a woman's life have value other than her uterus?

Of course you don't. You are trying to deminish the mens role in relationships. The idea behind the churches views on reproduction and sex would stregthen the bond of men and women as a unit. Can't have that.

Her breasts rank way up there too.

Not true. The RCC has no problem with women not getting married.

So...you think the role of a mother is useless?
