Birth and Death
Arguments for the use of contraceptives
- Sex is not just for making babies, it also makes a couple closer and brings enjoyment
- 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
