If your "no" is so absolute that you would even go so far as to abort a baby that was conceived when you were trying to avoid pregnancy, that's wrong. If your "no" isn't that absolute, then probably you mean something more along the lines of "not now, please." Remember that it isn't just the "potential" child you're saying "no" to—it's God. Since His providence can upset our plans and schemes, we ought to be careful saying "no" to him. Guest says: This is the most logical way I’ve heard this put.

Only thing is I disagree that it is always wrong to say "no" to children, but then again I'm not Catholic. Otherwise good. Most pieces that try to explain this claim that the folks involved have weak marriages, or don't value life at all. You did it without putting anyone down.
