I can't speak for “Protestants,” whatever that even means today. But I can make the following observations:

1. In conservative Reformed circles, which is where I hang my hat, chemical contraception is frowned upon.

2. In my practice I see far more Roman Catholics seeking contraceptives than one would suspect, FWIW I don't write prescriptions for contraceptives.

3. The rhythm method is just another game Roman Catholics play to bend the rules in their favor.

The rhythm method is just another game Roman Catholics play to bend the rules in their favor based on teaching found in the Bible and is therefore scriptural. Fixed it for you, see posts 61 and 62.

Nobody uses the “rythm method” anymore. NFP institutes what is called the Sympto-thermal Method. And the Church teaches that it should not be used selfishly. Do some Catholics do that? Sure. But it’s wrong.

My wife and I used it in order to achieve pregnancy. It worked. We have two beautiful daughters. But now being past the age for having kids we now use it to avoid pregnancy. All within the boundaries set by the Curch.
