A) Protestant Christianity advocates a careful and deliberate control of the size of a population.

contraceptive methods may be used.
C) The Roman Catholic church states that the purpose of all sexual activity is the creation of
new life.
D) Judaism teaches that family planning should be the exclusive domain of wives.
Ans: C
The Roman Catholic Church has strongly advocated that the natural purpose of
sexual activity is to create new life and nothing should try to interfere with that potential. The
members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) do not differentiate
between the hormonal and nonhormonal methods of contraception. Some conservative
Protestant Christians and conservative Muslims also advocate allowing God to plan families
and do not use birth control methods. Judaism does not explicitly teach about family planning.
