I might as well ask you the same question.

Do you support contraception?

I’ve responded twice to your question.

The *heart* should be that children are a gift, and that we should be inclined to welcome them as a gift. That should be our default attitude.

Sometimes, though, we may choose to postpone or avoid pregnancy, because of a variety of reasons. In those instances, contraception (NFP, barriers, vasectomy, etc.) is acceptable. It is appropriate to consider such a decision prayerfully, and cautiously, taking into consideration our motives for doing so.

We should recognize that some “contraceptives” actually do kill fertilized eggs, by preventing their attachment to the uterus. In that case, they are not contraceptives, but abortifacients, and are morally wrong.
