Common arguments for contraception extend well beyond a woman’s decision whether and when to conceive, and access to reliable family planning goes deeper than a woman’s personal wellbeing. It plays a pivotal role in the financial, physical and emotional health of children. Modern concensus is that empowering women with more options to control pregnancies has benefits for everyone.
Arguements for Contraception
- Contraception allows responsible family planning
- Contraception avoids unwanted pregnancies
- Condoms prevent sexually transmitted diseases
- God made people in his own image, wanting them to be in control and make rational decisions (such as when to have children).
- Christians should think of the well-being of existing children and the effect that another pregnancy would have on them.
