And as shown, RCs overall and like institutionalized Protestants are more liberal than their evangelical counterparts, which hold Scripture as supreme as the wholly inspired Word of God,....

So what's the evangelical position on the morality of artificial contraception?

You can't go to Scripture. There's nothing there.

As shown, more Catholics obtain abortions, and support acceptance of homosexuality, etc. etc., which should be are readily perceived as evil, and thus you must major on contraceptives, and which use to prevent childbirth is wrong, though its acceptance is much due to ignorance, while the majority of RCs have or do use them.

If you were really against contraceptives due to it often resulting in abortion (among other reasons) then you should be providing various studies that confirm it, ,which i would welcome.I myself will look into the matter, but focusing on that will not overcome the fact that Rome has overall fostered more liberal views and practices than evangelical faith has, while as said, both are in decline overall.

Sure we can. "You shall not murder." (Ex. 20:13), (Matt. 5:21) and (Romans 13:9). Any action that causes murder of an innocent human life is wrong. Most artificial means of contraception on the market today (pills, IUDs, implants) have as a back up mechanism the prevention of a fertilized egg from implanting - which is, in essence, abortion. For many years, this fact was left out of instructions and information given to women. Hopefully, this is not now still the case. We also have from Scripture instructions concerning sexual acts restricted to a married man and woman only. So, I believe we have more than ample Scripture to guide us. God has not left us without His word of truth and we do not need to solely rely upon fallible men to tell us what is right and wrong.

Then what's the basis for the Catholic position on the subject?
