If the married couple where Roman Catholic Christian, they would not use artificial contraception at all, because they believe in natural law, in keeping with human nature, as when sexual intercourse takes place, it is natural to get pregnant, and if people try to stop this from happening then they are not doing what nature intended. This means that they would be going against Gods will, which would not be very good.
The Pope says that Catholics should not use contraception because he said that is would make men not respect woman as much, and “no longer (care) for her physical and psychological equilibrium.” The only use of contraception that a Roman Catholic couple may use is the natural method that is when the woman would know when they are fertile and not have sex then, as this does not interfere with Natural Law.
If the couple where Church of England, then they may use almost all methods of contraception, apart from the ones that may kill a fertilised egg, as all life is created by God and in the image of God. The Church of England almost always teaches the fact that it is up to the couple to decide according to their own conscience, which was a gift from god.
If the couple where Strict Muslims, who are very traditionalist, then they would not use contraception at all, not even the natural method, this is because Allah has a divine plan and it is a sin of Shirk to interfere with Allah’s plans, and Allah’s plan is that people where created to produce, and if people try to stop themselves reproducing then they are going against Allah’s plans.
If the couple where Centrist Muslims, then they would agree to use the withdrawal method, as Muhammad (pbuh) used that method when he was alive. They would also use contraception if there were a good reason for it, like if the woman is breast-feeding, if the woman is weak or ill, if the couple are on a distant journey, if the marriage is unstable and divorce is likely, so that they can space out the children, or if they are studying at university. If the couple where Liberal Muslims, who are pro-choice, then they would use all methods of contraception except for the ones that kill the fertilized egg.
The similarities between Roman Catholic and Strict Muslims are very similar as they both agree that no contraception should be used. The only difference between Strict Muslim and Roman Catholic is the fact that Catholics Allow the Natural method, where as Strict Muslims do not. The similarities between Centrist and liberal Muslims and Church Of England Christians is that they can both use natural methods but the differences is the fact that all over methods are frowned upon unless there is a good reason by centrist Muslims, whereas Church of England Christians believe that it is the persons own choice.
