It ought to move them to respect these natural processes

because they are not dealing simply with biological laws but of
“biological laws which involves the person”

b) If we examine the innate desires and emotions of man,

responsible parenthood expresses the dominion which reason
and will must exert over them
- when the respect for sexual is
replaced by the egoistic, superficial search for pleasure, the
moral life of the individual and marriage end catastrophically

c) If we consider the relevant physical, economic,

psychological, and social conditions, responsible parenthood is
exercised by those who prudently and generously decide to
have a large family or by those who, for serious reasons and
with due respect for the moral law, choose not to have children
for the time being or even for an indeterminate period

2 important problems are presented on the decision to

limit the number of children:
-The existence of a serious motive for avoiding the birth of
another child
-Respect for the moral law while searching for the most
adequate means of avoiding the birth
