This is the best podcast! Just needed to shed some light on an offhand comment that was made, maybe they didn’t mean it how they said it.
Opposing contraception isn't a personal conviction, it's objective moral truth written into human nature and Scripture itself.
Genesis 38:9-10 condemns the ACT of deliberately frustrating procreation and directly deals with contraceptive intent. The Church Fathers consistently read it as a condemnation of the act itself, not merely of Onan's selfishness toward his brother's widow.
Every major Protestant Reformer agreed. Calvin, Luther, and Zwingli all condemned contraception as gravely sinful. It was universal Christian teaching until 1930, when the Anglican Church became the first Christian body in history to permit it. Every other denomination eventually followed CULTURE and sin becoming normalized (other than the Catholic Church which holds fast to all the original Early Church Teachings).
Also since you mentioned hormonal contraception specifically, please know that it is frequently ABORTIFACIENT. The FDA labeling confirms these drugs thin the uterine lining, making implantation impossible for a fertilized embryo, a unique human life. It is objectively abortion, if you define life at conception.
