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

I got ya. Thanks. I agree with you that it is too broad to say that 50 years ago, Catholics and Protestants stood arm in arm against contraception. Maybe 80 years ago that was the case, (and certainly before then all the way back to the Reformation) but between 1930 and 1960 it seems Protestant Churches and Pastors became ever increasingly accepting of barrier methods and the divide grew pretty significantly. I've never heard before what you said about somewhat universal opposition to abortifacients at the time. As I say, that's pretty interesting to me, especially since the pill is an abortifacient and yet is pretty widely accepted by Protetants today, I think. I don't know if there were any Protestant objections to the pill along those lines 30 or 40 years ago. Probably not, would be my guess.
