Faith groups can frame family planning as morally commendable Christian practice

Evidence

To enable women to make informed choices about childbearing and methods of contraception, the British government and the Gates Foundation launched an international summit supporting women’s reproductive rights aided by family planning and contraceptive services (Olson, 2012). … The summit received pledges of billions of dollars along with social and political support to rejuvenate family planning services worldwide. Diverse faith-based organizations at the summit added their commitment to such services as well. Richard Cizik, the president of the New Evangelical Partnership for the Common Good, explained his group’s basis of the support as follows: “Family planning is morally laudable in Christian terms because of its contribution to family well-being, women and children’s health, and the prevention of abortion” (Olson, 2012). — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 2607
