Contraceptives: Gender Differences Between Science And Religion

There are many different views on contraceptives within today’s society. According to faith and what you believe, this can differ between what is acceptable and what is not. Dating back to the first century of Christianity, females were not meant to be taking contraceptives, let alone they were not made to exist. However this differentiates between multiple religions and between one’s belief system . In 1960, science created a contraceptive allowing females to take a pill; which could prevent any unwanted and undesired pregnancy. Moreover this has been the main use of a contraceptive since created and those who are too late, may chose another option if necessary.
