I have often wondered something. What if when the birth control pill was first introduced, birth control was accepted by various religious leaders around the globe. They made the decision that the pill, condoms, and so on are acceptable since they only prevent fertilization. However abortion and any drugs that could cause abortions would be against their religious belief.
I would like to stay away from any religious discussions and focus on the impact on population growth and economic developments. I am not being critical of anyone's religious beliefs. I tried to find some discussion about this on this forum but I was not able to find any.
I am aware that this is a controversial topic and if the moderators feel that is it should not be on this board, I understand.
