Many Christians

Any safe form of contraception is accpeptable and sensible choice

(1) Sex is a joyous gift from God (not just reproduction) - contraception helps people enjoy

Roman Catholics

ARTIFICIAL METHODS ARE WRONG

(1) unnatural = against the will of God

Only God gets to decide when life begins and ends, so going against this means defying God. 

(2) Prevent possible creation of human life - violate Sanctity of Life

APPROVE OF NATURAL CONTRACEPTION, NATURAL CHANCE OF PREGNANCY
