So its against Catholic doctrine to get pregnant by artificial insemination if...you're not married?

Artificial insemination and premarital sex are against Catholic doctrine, and Dias violated that doctrine and a morality clause in the contract she signed, Goodin said. The clause required her to comply with the stated philosophies and teachings of the church, Goodin said


So, is artificial insemination against Catholic doctrine if you're single or just in general?

Google answered your question. So is this thread about something else?

I don't know why anyone would voluntarily be a single parent without at least having a partner to help take care of the kid.

Well, it's a LOLCATHOLICS/POPEHAT thread, obviously.

I actually didn't know.
And I am surprised its not even allowed when the sperm donor is the persons husband.

I can't believe a "morality clause" is even a real thing in contract law...

People should be able to enter into any kind of legal agreement they want, even if that contract has a clause allowing one party to unilaterally change the terms of that agreement. Unless it's two guys trying to sign a marriage contract.

BECAUSE FREEDOM!

It's not a bait thread. Not being Christian I am truly surprised at the Catholic churches position.

Sure. That's why you Googled the question, first.

Apparently you haven't bothered to actually read the thread because I didn't Google it and found out about it from the article I linked to.

Stop trying to derail the thread. Or at least actually read it so you don't look foolish when trying to derail it.

Wasn't Mary artificially inseminated?

I thought artificial insemination usually involved fertilizing and then implanting many eggs at once since they don't always survive. To a Catholic, that would be tantamount to abortion. It's also why many women who get fertility treatments wind up with multiple births.

Wouldn't that be "in-vitro" fertilization? I assumed artificial insemination was, well, think turkey baster.

My mom was raised Catholic. It fucked her up pretty bad.

There is no law that prohibits 2 guys from crafting a "gay-marriage" contract and then signing it.

Such a contract will just not be able to enforce any conditions onto 3rd party non-signatories.

I strongly suspect Jesus would be extremely unhappy at what the Catholic Church has become.

Doubt it was the church. More like bad parenting.

Yes. But not with sperm obtained from God's masturbation.

combination of both, but being catholic certainly played a large role.

The Catholic church opposes artificial insemination.

Isn't this a freedom of religion situation? I'm confused as to how the document she signed about obeying doctrine is legally binding. Did I miss something?

It's only legally binding in reference to her employment with the school. She's free to decide whether to fulfill the contract or not.

Could Mary have been artificially inseminated by Aliens? :awe:
