I don't think that's debated.

Anyway there are many many differences and halacha could never be compared to anything else because the intricacies involved are different than any other law system.

You mean because monotheistic religions are based on Judaism?
Catholicism is monotheistic?

contraceptives are also gray, if you know what I mean. This is why there's plenty of room for latitude in Halacha and why some--the non-gray ones--almost never permitted.

Counterproductive are also gray, if you know what I mean. This is why there's plenty of room for a lot of latitude in Halacha, since what you are doing isn't definite.
Auto Correct?

A male contraceptive is never allowed. A female contraceptive would be allowed based on your Rabbi's rulings.

TY.
Would either be allowed to have a surgical procedure to prevent them from having any more children?

Presumably it would be the same story with the man not being allowed.

I's sure some DDF'ers come from families of 10+, but considering most DDF'ers are in their 20s I'd be surprised to see one with 10 kids :D

I know a couple Irish Catholic families with those numbers but none in recent years.

Gotta love small sample sizes... More than 3.5% of DDF'ers have 10+ kids!

Can you make two selections for someone that is not married but has kids?
Is it permissible if you have no children?

Such Good Yidden who wear Tefillin the whole day, and are wrapped up in such nice Talaisim, should always be married with many many kids.  ;)
