If all Americans, including Baptists, other Protestants, and Catholics who defy Church teaching, would just read the label, the Pill would simply go away.
Read. The. Label.
It says the Pill is an abortifacient. It is indisputable. Drug manufacturers print it right there on the packaging — if conception occurs, the secondary line of defense starves the embryo to death.
And that is an abortion.
But people don’t read the labels, because they don’t want to know. People who flunked high school biology just scream, “The Pill prevents pregnancy!”
They also don’t want to know the cancer and stroke statistics, among other health calamities, visited on women with a history on the Pill. “It’s perfectly safe!” Really? Please cite the studies that support any claim of safety. You can’t, because they’ve all been debunked.
When it comes to scientific fact and the Pill, Protestants and lots of Catholics and Jews and atheists and whatever else you got reason as if they were the children they want to prevent. Fingers in ears. “La la la la! I’m not listening to yooooou!”

True, Birth Control has made sex about self gratification. Sex is for marriage and for life, you can’t separate the two. Imagine, ministers wondering if Birth Control is against God. Come to the faith, no, it’s easier to reject the faith.
The Bible does not prohibit birth control by the name “birth control”, but it does indeed prohibit it by action. In Genesis 38:9 we read that Onan “spilled his seed upon the ground”, and in Genesis 38:10 God slew him “because he did a detestable thing”.
St. Augustine (4th century) rightly summed up the Apostolic tradition on the subject of birth control in his treatise on the sin of adultery when he wrote: “Marital relations even with a lawful wife, are unlawful and degrading when the conception of a child is deliberately frustrated. This was the sin of Onan, and God struck him dead because of it.”
