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 Baptist Press' David Roach quoted Evan Lenow, an associate professor at Mississippi College, who challenges his ethics students to consider the moral implications of preventing pregnancy.
Lenow describes the use of birth control to prevent pregnancy as "commodifying children," arguing that married couples should view children as a blessing rather than having a "perfect number" in mind.
Lenow's perspective is rooted in his background in Christian ethics from Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary.
