As said the majority of Christians are not oppose to non-reproductive marital sex. However, the opposition to birth control due to the belief that it increases the tendency for extramarital sex does seem to be present in some parts of conservatism. For the record studies suggest, at least with for teens, lack of birth control does not limit sexual intercourse, it just increases the odds of pregnancy from the sex, but so long as conservatives believe limiting birth control will limit sex they have reason to oppose it. | |

| Jul 3, 2021 at 12:19 | comment | added | candied_orange | @BetterthanKwora the bible does mention one form of contraception. Genesis 38:9 "But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother." Things don't end well for Onan. However, whether it was using a contraceptive method that the Lord considered wicked or Onan disobeying his father and tradition for his own selfish reasons is up for interpretation. – | |

| Jul 2, 2021 at 17:12 | comment | added | Ross Presser | I would submit that the second half of the initial sentence in this answer is so false that it should be deleted -- at least that half of the sentence, if not the whole answer. Until it is, this answer gets my mental downvote, although I don't have the reputation to actually downvote it. | |
| Jul 2, 2021 at 8:09 | comment | added | gerrit | IIRC Islam does not have any objection to contraception inside marriage. | |
| Jul 2, 2021 at 1:46 | comment | added | Betterthan Kwora | "The moral justification for this position is that this is what the scriptures say." Even this extraneous non-politics part of the answer is wrong. The Catholic opposition to contraception is not based on the Bible (which never even mentions contraception), but on "natural law" philosophical arguments that they argue can be derived from reason alone. Even if these arguments are ridiculous, they're more rationalist than fundamentalist. | |
| Jul 2, 2021 at 0:54 | comment | added | Ekadh Singh | Here are some other questions on the SE network about what user4012 has said: Post on Mi Yodeya generally backs up what user4012 said, as does this post on Islam SE (so far at least). | |
| Jul 1, 2021 at 18:25 | comment | added | user4012 | "the only reason why one should ever have sex is to have children with their spouse" - [citation needed]. This is 100% false for Judaism, and as far as I'm aware for vast majority of Christian denominations. I wouldn't be surprised if it's equally false for Islam. | |
| Jul 1, 2021 at 18:00 | comment | added | user4012 | Please either include proof that this "logic" is the official position of Republican party, or at the least meaningful set of notable politicians in it, OR, edit your question to indicate this is your personal theory not backed by fact. | |
