Clarifying Contraception for Christian Women
It's essential for Christian women to understand the basics of birth control and not be misled by the notion of a "contraception culture."
A recent article by David Roach in Baptist Press sparked this clarification, citing Evan Lenow, an associate professor at Mississippi College and director of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary's Clinton, Miss., extension.
Lenow challenges his ethics students to consider that a married couple's efforts to prevent pregnancy might be morally problematic.
Lenow argues that using birth control to prevent pregnancy is "commodifying children" and that married couples should view children as a blessing, rather than aiming for a "perfect number of children."
Author's summary: Clarifying birth control basics for Christian women.
- Contraception is not "embryocidal" as claimed.
- Christian women should not be wary of "contraception culture."
