method of preventing pregnancy

But for women who can’t or don’t want to use hormonal birth control, it can be an effective alternative method of preventing pregnancy.

Orally ingested birth control pills are the leading contraceptive method in the United States and currently stand as the most effective method of preventing pregnancy.

The document produced by the conference, “A Protestant Affirmation on the Control of Human Reproduction,” said, “The prevention of conception is not in itself forbidden or sinful providing the reasons for it are in harmony with the total revelation of God for married life” and that the “method of preventing pregnancy is not so much a religious as a scientific and medical question to be determined in consultation with one’s physician.”
