CASE STUDY #2
Ana is a 25-year-old Christian woman who lives in a country where contraceptives are widely available and
accepted. She is in a committed relationship with her boyfriend and is interested in using contraceptives to
prevent pregnancy.
Ana is aware of the Church's teaching on contraception and knows that the Church opposes the use of artificial
contraceptives. However, she believes that the Church's teaching does not reflect the reality of modern
relationships and the challenges of family planning.
Ana turns to her local family planning clinic for advice on the issue. The clinic provides her with information on
different types of contraceptives and advises her on the potential health risks and benefits of each method.
Ana feels torn between her desire to practice responsible family planning and her Christian faith. She wonders if
it is possible to reconcile the two and if there are any alternatives to artificial contraceptives that would be more
acceptable to the Church.
