About this Site

Philosophy

Welcome to the Christian Contraception website. The information presented here is based on the Biblical principle that the body is a temple. It is inconsistent with this ideal to promote birth control which transforms a woman's body into a battleground, where the life of her offspring or her own health and well-being are jeopardized. For this reason no methods of birth control that harm a woman or her unborn child are recommended, regardless of the age or development of the child.

This site is intended to educate Christian women and men about the mechanisms and efficacy of contraceptives to assist couples in planning their children in a manner consistent with their faith. There are a variety of valid religious and personal convictions held by women of conscience with regards to sex and birth control. However, the perspective of this site is that sexual intimacy is intended only within the context of marriage, where each person has made a lifelong commitment to the other, welcoming any children conceived by their union. All children, planned or unplanned, are a gift from God. For more about this philosophy, please see the article at this site Sex, Abortion, Birth Control and Christianity.

We welcome discussion about religious issues and birth control. Please post your comments to this site at Christians Talk about Birth Control.
