Roman Catholic Church
The Roman Catholic Church teaches that preventing conception is against the 'natural law' and that the use of any artifical contraception is a grave sin.
It teaches that humans have an obligation to "Be fruitful and increase in number" Genesis 1:28
However many individual Roman Catholics disagree with this, especially because of concerns about AIDS.
The Roman Catholic Church allows natural family planning - by only having sex at the times during a woman's cycle when she's less fertile.
Other Christian Churches views
The Anglican, Methodist and Presbyterian Churches are in favour of contraception, suggesting that it lets parents plan their families in a responsible way.
Many Christians believe that contraception should be a question of individual conscience.
