“We are clearly at a very important turning point, but you have to go back to the early twentieth century when sexual revolutionaries largely funded an effort to separate sex and procreation, and that was birth control," Dr. Mohler said.

Better check history. For as long as people have understood that certain activity causes pregnancy, people have been looking at ways to avoid pregnancy. Contraceptives of one kind or another have been around for thousands of years. IIRC, they were found among King Tut's burial paraphernalia.

Seems to me that argument would hold more weight if there were at least some Christian groups that officially accepted it a few centuries ago. To my understanding they all seemed to get on board after 1930ish or so which makes me think the ease and quantity of manufacture at least played some part.
