[editor's note: Dr. Mohler's fifth point suggests that some artificial contraceptive use could be acceptable for a married, Christian couple.  The No Room for Contraception campaign does not agree with this particular point in the article.]

The effective separation of sex from procreation may be one of the most important defining marks of our age--and one of the most ominous. This awareness is spreading among American evangelicals, and it threatens to set loose a firestorm.

In August 2005, a court in the state of California decided that registered homosexual unions now enjoy the same legal rights of spouses. How did this homosexual revolution come about? The answer, suggests Stephanie Coontz, is that marriage is under siege from heterosexuals.

To live with our bodies, and not in spite of them is a discovery our "civilized" world is just now making. An old Asian wisdom maintains that perfection is only acquired through the mastery of the body. The more one is able to live with his or her own body and master its nature, the freer is one's mind and wider the horizons. We need to understand the natural laws of our bodies in order to achieve optimal enjoyment as well as new depths of communication. This understanding brings us even closer to experiencing God's great love for us and the powers of creation He granted us.

November’s election made it clear. Most Americans know there is a cultural crisis. Most agree that abortion is a bad thing, and should at least be restricted.

Congress has taken up the debate over Embryonic Stem Cell Research (ESCR), and President Bush has indicated he will veto such legislation because it “goes against his beliefs.” While the President’s opposition is welcomed, and his stance is in accord with a Culture of Life, nevertheless it is important to understand that such research is still perfectly legal and is already being funded by the federal government, albeit in a limited capacity. Congress is now considering whether to provide additional funding for ESCR. Currently, ESCR, cloning and genetic manipulation are legally being researched by private companies, at public universities, and with state and federal funding.

The Mexican government, as we have previously reported, is aggressively seeking to drive down the nation's birthrate to below replacement.  Young mothers who come to government-run clinics and hospitals to deliver their babies are pressured to accept either sterilization or an IUD.  This abusive program was formulated by Mexico's National Population Council (CONAPO) in consultation with the U.N. Population Fund (UNFPA), which continues to fund it today. [1]
