Well, there are plenty of people who do wait. We did. But it is true that most don't, and that humanity will never behave perfectly. You are right on that.
Remember also, that we do not advocate for contraception to be illegal or anything. Just that, if you are a catholic and you WANT to practice the moral teachings of the faith, wait until you are married to have sex, and when you do get married, avoid pregnancy as necessary using natural methods.
All I'm saying is that contrary to what has been stated here, IF this ideal was universally practiced, pregnancy rates would drastically decrease, not increase. But yeah, no one is trying to force this ideal or make it a legal thing.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
