Fw: AlbertMohler.com – Can Christians Use Birth Control?

[Guest guest]

According to the article below, evangelical Christians are reconsidering their position on birth control, at least in part due to the abortifacient aspect of the pill. We need to use this opportunity to draw closer to our brothers and sisters in Christ and to refamiliarize them with modern methods of NFP... "...Christian couples must ensure that the methods chosen are really contraceptive in effect, and not abortifacient. Not all birth control is contraception, for some technologies and methods do not prevent the sperm from fertilizing the egg, but instead prevent the fertilized egg from successfully implanting itself in the lining of the womb. Such methods involve nothing less than an early abortion. This is true of all IUDs and some hormonal technologies. A

raging debate now surrounds the question of whether at least some forms of the Pill may also work through abortifacient effect, rather than preventing ovulation. Christian couples must exercise due care in choosing a form of birth control that is unquestionably contraceptive, rather than abortifacient..." Dr. Peck, MD, CCD, ABFM, Marquette NFP Instructor
