- Title
Michael Dummett on the Morality of Contraception.
- Authors
Schwenkler, John
- Abstract
The article focuses on the ideas of author Michael Dummett on the morality of contraception. It highlights his book "Humanae Vitae," in which he concentrates on the prohibition of birth control pill use in contraception. It says that he finds the prohibition incoherent and argues that its promulgation damaged the faithful's respect for the moral teaching of the Catholic Church.
