Both Chastity and Contraception: A Sacred Compromise | Christianity Today | A Magazine of Evangelical Conviction: "Encouraging contraception is hardly the first, best, or only way to respond to premarital sex that may lead to unintended pregnancy, but it is a valuable tool in the abortion reduction toolkit."
Editor: Just as there's no such thing as being "a little bit pregnant," there's no such thing as 99% pure. As one commentator on this article wisely noted (just in case anyone's asking), God's will is clear on this: "Abstain from sexual immorality" (1 Thess. 4:3).
The Church cannot compromise on this biblical issue. We do, and we lose any moral authority we might have. And we mislead people into thinking sin doesn't hurt.
Oh, by the way, studies show that contraception doesn't bring the abortion rate down.
