"Birth control appeals to the advanced radical because it is calculated to undermine the authority of the Christian churches. I look forward to seeing humanity free some day of the tyranny of Christianity no less than Capitalism." - Margaret Sanger (Founder of Planned Parenthood), "Killer Angel: Margaret Sanger in Her Own Words"

"Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate" - Ps. 127:3-5 (KJV).

"We have found not one orthodox theologian to defend Birth Control before the 1900's NOT ONE! On the other hand, we have found that many highly regarded Protestant theologians were enthusiastically opposed to it, all the way back to the very beginning of the Reformation... those in favor of Birth Control will find no one in the orthodox Protestant camp for the first four centuries to ally themselves with." - Charles Provan, The Bible and Birth Control, p. 63, emphases added.

"Before eugenists and others who are laboring for racial betterment can succeed,they must first clear the way for Birth Control. Like the advocates of Birth Control, the eugenists, for instance, are seeking to assist the race toward the elimination of the unfit. Both are seeking a single end but they lay emphasis upon different methods." - Margaret Sanger (Founder of Planned Parenthood), "Birth Control and Racial Betterment," Birth Control Review, February 1919, (vol. III, no. 2); p. 11, emphases added.

"Birth Control which has been criticized as negative and destructive, is really the greatest and most truly eugenic method, and its adoption as part of the program of Eugenics would immediately give a concrete and realistic power to that science... as the most constructive and necessary of the means to racial health." - Margaret Sanger (Founder of Planned Parenthood), The Pivot of Civilization, Brentano's Press, NY, 1922, p. 189, emphases added.

"The most merciful thing a large family can do to one of its infant members is to kill it." - Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, in Women and the New Rage (Eugenics Publ. Co, 1920, 1923), p. 67.

N.B. Though the statements above, by the radical Atheist and Leftist Margaret Sanger, are full of hellish hatred against God, the family and children (no surprise on any of these counts, Romans 1:18-32), we should not forget to look at ourselves to see if we are not also guilty of a sin akin to Sanger's vile pronouncement, by murdering many pre-born children through birth control. Birth control turns people into serial killers, as many methods of birth control (various birth control pills, Intrauterine Device [IUD], Depo-Provera, Norplant, the "Morning After" Pill , etc.) cause abortions. Thus, if you have used any methods of birth control which cause abortions, or encouraged or counseled others to use these methods of birth control, it is virtually certain you have fragrantly (though possibly unknowingly, until now) practiced, or, at the very least, been party to, the murder of many children according to God's law (i.e., you have violated the sixth commandment, which states "Thou shalt not kill"). And though ignorance of the effects of birth control technologies may mitigate your culpability somewhat, after reading the preceding sentences you can no longer claim ignorance of what these devilish devices do. If you are not a Christian, and God has opened your eyes to your sin, and that His wrath abides on you, or if you just want to know how to be forgiven of all your sins (past, present and future) by God, please see "The Good News of the Salvation of Jesus Christ by Pastor Brian Schwertley". If you are a Christian and are looking to further your growth in grace, by repenting of sins related to breaking the sixth commandment, or any other commandments of God, please see "Mortification of Sin in Believers by John Owen (With Many Other Free Puritan Books and Reformed MP3s on Mortification)", "Overcoming Temptation by John Owen, John Calvin, Jonathan Edwards, Thomas Brooks, Thomas Manton, William Spurstowe, Dr. Joel Beeke, Greg Price, et al.

Birth Control by Marty Tate (Free MP3)

Radio interview with Pastor Robert Reed on the subject of birth control. Abortion and birth control are ugly twin sisters. The same arguments used to justify abortion were used 100 years ago to promote birth control. Learn who Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood really was and how almost single-handedly, she changed the minds of subsequent generations towards the fruit of the womb. Hear how the birth control pill and other forms of birth control actually cause abortions in the womb, without the knowledge and consent of the mother and father.

The Bible and Birth Control (1/5) The Classic Position of the Christian Church - SWRB by Charles Provan (Free MP3s)

Martin Luther once proclaimed that "the purpose of marriage is not pleasure and ease but the procreation and education of children and the support of a family.... People who do not like children are swine, dunces, and blockheads, not worthy to be called men and women, because they despise the blessing of God, the Creator and Author of marriage" (Christian History, Issue 39, p. 24). Luther also said that birth control was the equivalent of sodomy (probably because of the likeness between homosexual wickedness and impotent sex). John Calvin declared that birth control was the murder of future persons and the Synod of Dort issued a Bible commentary which stated that contraception was the same as abortion. If you are shocked by the strong statements from these Godly men, that really is not too surprising, because Protestant opposition to birth control has largely been forgotten in our decadent culture and century. If you want to know about Biblical principles which oppose contraception, or wish to know what the Reformers and their heirs thought about this important subject, we certainly hope that you will listen to this free audio book!

Birth Control, Christian Education and the Victory of Christ's Kingdom by Dr. Reg Barrow

In two parts: 1. "Godless Public Education and Sin" and 2. "Why Satan Loves Birth Control." The first section shows from Scripture how it is a mark of apostasy to send young children, especially during their formative years, to schools that do not make Christ the Lord of education. It also encourages family worship and outlines the elements of this sacred task; giving a helpful list of resources related to both family worship and Christian education. The second essay deals with the practical effects of the pagan practice of birth control upon the church and the growth of the kingdom of Christ.

The Abortion Matrix - Chapter 8 : Part 3 - "Do What Thou Wilt" - Witchcraft and Satanism  (Free Video)

"Unlike most of his contemporaries, Crowley, like Nietzsche, had the intellectual honesty -- or at least the nerve -- to call this worldview precisely what it was according to Scripture: satanic, beastly, devilish, anti-Christ. A half-century later, his American heir-apparent, Anton LaVey, founder of the Church of Satan, said precisely the same thing. And so while witchcraft and goddess worship are a major conduit for the demonic energies that swirl in and through the abortion movement, there is another, more masculine component as well: good, old fashioned "Do What Thou Wilt" satanism. And, back to Crowley: Aldous Huxley famously dined with him and it was rumored that the old beast took the opportunity to turn him on to peyote. Not only did the famed author of Brave New World later romanticize the emerging drug culture by writing The Doors of Perception, he also wrote the preface to Birth-control Methods by Australian sexologist and closet homosexual Norman Haire. A colleague of Ellis' and Hirschfield's and an attendee of the World Sex Congress of 1921, Haire, like the others, was a staunch supporter of gay rights and the eugenics movement." - From the video The Abortion Matrix - Chapter 8 : Part 3 - "Do What Thou Wilt" - Witchcraft and Satanism

MORE QUOTATIONS ON BIRTH CONTROL

JOHN CALVIN on BIRTH CONTROL

The comments below, by John Calvin, where edited out of John Calvin's Commentaries by later editors, and are translated here into English from the original Latin.

"Besides, he [Onan] not only defrauded his brother of the right due him, but also preferred his semen to putrify the ground, rather than beget a son in his brother's name. Verse 10: The Jews quite immodestly gabble concerning this thing. It will suffice for me briefly to have touched upon this as much as modesty in speaking permits. The voluntary spilling of semen outside of intercourse between man and woman is a monstrous thing. Deliberately to withdraw from coitus in order that semen may fall to the ground is doubly monstrous. For this is to extinguish the hope of the race and to kill before he is born -- the hoped for offspring.

This impiety is especially condemned, now by the Spirit through Moses' mouth, that Onan, as it were, by a violent abortion, no less cruelly than filthily cast upon the ground the offspring of his brother, torn from the maternal womb. Besides, in this way he tried, as far as he was able, to wipe out a part of the human race. If any woman ejects a foetus from her womb by drugs, it is reckoned a crime incapable of expiation and deservedly Onan incurred upon himself the same kind of punishment, infecting the earth with his semen, in order that Tamar might not conceive a future human being as an inhabitant of the earth."

- Excerpted from The Bible and Birth Control by Charles Provan (pp. 67-68, emphases added). In addition to many arguments against the ungodly practice of birth control, The Bible and Birth Control also contains about 35 pages of historic testimony against birth control by Martin Luther, A.W. Pink, the Synod of Dordt, the Westminster Annotations, Matthew Henry, Matthew Poole, Cotton Mather, Trapp, Usher, Gill, Candlish and many more! A number of the books, from which these quotations against birth control are excerpted, are available on the Puritan Hard Drive.

"In that there is a seminal vital virtue, which perishes if the seed be spilled; and by doing this to hinder the begetting of a living child, is the first degree of murder that can be committed, and the next unto it is the marring of conception, when it is made, and causing of abortion: now such acts are noted in the scripture as horrible crimes, because, otherwise many might commit them, and not know the evil of them: it is conceived, that his brother Er before, was his brother in evil thus far, that both of them satisfied their sensuality against the order of nature, and therefore the Lord cut them off both alike with sudden vengeance; which may be for terror to those Popish Onanites who condemn marriage, and live in sodomitical impurity, and to those who, in marriage, care not for the increase of children, (which is the principle use of the conjugal estate) but for the satisfying of their concupiscence."

- Commentary on Genesis 38:9 by John Ley of the Westminster Assembly, from The Westminster Annotations (6 Volumes, 1657), which are available on the PURITAN HARD DRIVE.
