- Views on Contraception
- Roman Catholic
- Contraception is sinful
- The main purpose of sexual intercourse is procreative
- Contraception either prevents pregnancy or acts as an abortifacient, which is tantamount to murder
- Natural methods of family planning, e.g. tracking the rhythm of the menstrual cycle, are permitted as these do not set out to interfere with God's plan
- Protestant
- It is acceptable
- God gave humans the capacity for responsible decision making and this includes decisions about having children
- Procreation is not the primary purpose of sexual intercourse
- There might be good reasons for not wanting children: poverty, wanting to space the births, a genetic disorder or the HIV virus carried by one partner
- If unmarried people are determined to have sexual relationships, then using contraception is the responsible action to take
- Roman Catholic
