Dear Baptist Press, contraception is not ‘embryocidal’ – Baptist News Global

Clarifying the Concept of Contraception

It's essential for Christian women to understand the basics of birth control and not be misled by the notion of a "contraception culture," as suggested by an article from Baptist Press.

A recent article by David Roach, featuring an interview with Evan Lenow, associate professor at Mississippi College and director of the Clinton, Miss., extension of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, has sparked discussion.

Lenow challenges his ethics students to consider that a married couple's efforts to prevent pregnancy might be morally problematic.

Lenow argues that using birth control to prevent pregnancy can be seen as "commodifying children" and suggests that married couples should view children as a blessing rather than striving for a "perfect number" of children.

This perspective highlights the importance of understanding the ethical considerations surrounding contraception.
