Flores
 Rh law provides condoms, pills,
and other forms of contraceptives in
order to prevent unwanted
pregnancies.

overpopulated countries, boosting
their environment for the people.

the country, will be stopped.

there is an excessive production of
hormones in the body.
 This leads to them being intimate
and doing quite touchy things
 Rebuttals
 5th commandment—how can we kill
someone that isn’t even born yet?
contraceptives add to
diseases—how can this be when
contraceptives rather prevent
diseases
