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

Back 40 or 50 years ago there wasn't much in the way of abortificients other than the IUD and the local butcher who worked in dark allies if a hospital wasn't your first choice. There were other alleged "remedies" of course, e.g., a scalding hot bath, consumables, etc., etc., ad nauseam. Anything that came along that was promoted as a pregnancy preventative was widely publicized and/or made known through "Right to Life" groups. A close watch on "Planned Parenthood" was operative even back then, which often got the latest and greatest products designed to that end.

All I can tell you from experience is what I've already mentioned... conservative Protestants were and still are opposed to any and all forms of abortificients but they are not opposed to other forms of contraception.
