The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Who Still Fights Against Contraception?

a. Your reference to 50 years ago where Protestants and Catholics allegedly stood together on the issue of contraceptives... is far too broad a statement and is therefore subject to much misunderstanding. At that time most Protestants were not opposed to contraception in general but rather certain TYPES of contraceptives. The truth is that most were opposed to the use of "abortifacients", i.e., anything that caused the destruction of a fertilized egg, e.g., IUD, etc. That would include today such things as the "Morning After Pill" and similar abortifacients, which are rightly considered a form of abortion as the name implies.

b. In traditional, historic Reformed and Calvinistic Baptist churches you can find this topic being preached from the pulpit and in other Bible teaching classes.
