Contraception and the empty gun

Here is a great quote from Jennifer Fulwiler in her recent InsideCatholic article called "The Two Lists":

In fact, I started to see the catastrophic mistake our society had made when we started believing that the life-giving potential of the sexual act could be safely forgotten about as long as people use contraception. It would be like saying that guns could be used as toys as long as long as there are blanks in the chamber.
