I think this is true though Alfred Kinsey and his alleged research destroyed moral constraints and deadened consciences.

A very good article. We must, as Christians, understand what happened so we can avoid being led into traps and understand the difference between real compassion from misplaced compassion. When things began in the 1960s, we were a lot more trusting of everyone and a lot more respectful. Sure, it wasn’t perfect but we did not - could not - believe so many people would lie to us and mislead us, and give us corruption disguised as FREEDOM. No - the reality phrase is “slavery to the flesh.” Self-control regarding sex had to be eliminated. It had to be preached by total strangers called anarchists and Hippies.
1960 The FDA approves the birth control pill, but you needed a prescription to get it.
1967 Makers of The Pill had to move product, so the marketing began. Babies became something to be feared, not a gift from God. Not being open to life.
content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,843551,00.html
It was right in the headline: “Contraception: Freedom from Fear” Fear of what? Babies. My mom dismissed all this, calling the Pill useless, unnecessary. The average number of kids in my neighborhood and for miles around, was 2. So the goal was a fake “freedom.” And to sell product.
1968 The Church was aware of all this and Pope Paul VI had some advisors study the matter of artificial contraception and to give him their thoughts on it. Most of his advisors were for loosening the Church’s constant teaching against artificial birth control. Pope Paul VI disagreed and issued Humanae Vitae, reaffirming the Church’s constant teaching against artificial birth control. Here was the reaction from some inside the Church:
"Within 24 hours, in an event unprecedented in the history of the Church, more than 200 dissenting theologians signed a full-page ad in The New York Times in protest. Not only did they declare their disagreement with encyclical’s teaching; they went one step further, far beyond their authority as theologians, and actually encouraged dissent among the lay faithful.
"They asserted the following: “Therefore, as Roman Catholic theologians, conscious of our duty and our limitations, we conclude that spouses may responsibly decide according to their conscience that artificial contraception in some circumstances is permissible and indeed necessary to preserve and foster the values and sacredness of marriage.”’

… an event unprecedented in the history of the Church, …
But the dissidents inside and outside the Church sowed confusion. They wanted us to live like they lived, to want what they wanted… always calling it Freedom. Always calling it good.
1969 How was the worst contraception method - abortion - sold to the people? I remember a nice lady on TV calling for our compassion for women who died following “back alley” illegal abortions. They said abortion should be safe and rare. That was far from the truth. Read how it was marketed from one of the founders of the National Association for the Repeal of Abortion Laws, who later realized he was wrong.

1970s Millions of dollars were spent to open Adult Bookstores selling graphic porn across the country. Prostitutes, photographers, printers, etc., all had to be paid and the public exposed to the new “opiate of the masses” - porn. It was legal now and just a few years earlier, the worst you could do was buy Playboy. This was gynecology. Christians protested but the pornographers had high-priced lawyers who told us the pornographers had “the First Amendment” right to make filth. The planned addictions followed.
Not to mention money to open strip clubs (still called Gentlemen’s Clubs) and topless bars. Who asked for this? Get guys hooked. Make them think about sex a lot more.
The Sex without love Revolution was a lie. It led to something called No-Fault Divorce. In the 1980s, I opened the Classifieds in the newspaper and saw ads like this: “No kids? $75 and you’re out. Call 800-DIVORCE.” It was too easy. You didn’t need a good reason. And who profited? Lawyers.
It was all about getting us to gradually accept sex with anybody, with or without any sort of commitment. The guy or girl living together could leave at any time, and I personally know about a few people who did this, and too many people with two divorces under their belts.
First the movies in the late 1960s, followed by TV in the '70s, bad behavior was betrayed as good. And gradually, gradually as the decades passed, the media kept turning up the volume on sex. Please, consider what you’re watching. Consider what is moral and immoral. I don’t want to watch something on TV where there’s bare boobs or simulated sex or really graphic violence.
Let’s do those things that please God.

It would be something if a Baptist Pastor could turn his congregation away from birth control, but alas before much of that could happen he’d be voted out by the church’s governing body.
It would seem easy for a professorial person of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary to be free to talk about it, but this doesn’t mean change is going to come soon.

The good pastor isn’t saying anything new…
Contraception: The Bacteria Devouring America’s Soul
By Judith Brown, President, American Life League. The article is from 2010.
Pope Pius XI warned about this in the Encyclical Castii Connubii, Dec 31, 1930. The encyclical was written in response to the Anglican Church allowing contraception. Pope Pius XI told us that all this would happen.

Nowadays, it is people who live a chaste life, especially singles, who are now seen as an aberration.
