Why Churches Shouldn't Push Contraceptives to Their Singles

Christianity Today: Reducing abortion is a noble and urgent goal. This is the wrong way to do it.

Two weeks ago, younger evangelical leaders gathered in Washington D.C. to reflect about the shape Christianity should take in the world. Q . . . is one of the more interesting spots in the evangelical landscape. . . . [C]onference attendees are an interesting cross-section of the evangelical world. Some might be emergent, others might be Reformed, but no one talks much about all that. It's concern about social issues, rather than distinctive theological ones, that attendees seem to gather around. In a breathtaking moment of unity, however, conference attendees affirmed that churches should advocate for contraceptives for the single people in their midst.
