No, trust me, you have the exact right way to handle it. I agreed with you 100%. I was annoyed with myself for bothering to respond to people who keep bringing up the same nonsensical arguments over and over again, despite having nothing real to back it up. You are right, sometimes you just have to let foolish and shortsighted be as they are, and ignore them.

Men can get a vasectomy, use a condom or abstain.....those are choices.

Once a child is born, a woman is held equally responsible for caring for that child.....that is a responsibility.

Whiney much?

The woman has sole responsibility for a fetus. Do men pay fetal support?

Matrimony translated literally means "office of the Mother". It's the sacrament in which God established to bring new souls into creation and nurture and raise them to serve God in the Church and in society.
There's nothing unfair about being a woman. God created most women to serve in the office of marriage. It is a vocation, an office and the one through which God calls most women to sanctify their souls unto salvation. Others may be called to the religious life or for whatever reason remain single.
And, because of your beliefs, you are allowed to have all the children that you are capable of. Just, please allow others the privilege of also living by their own moral code. Don't interject your ideas on them. That's just being a bully.

isn't the man's choice when he decides whether or not to use a condom?
