Oh please, keep up the religious baiting so this thread can turn into something else.
Lets not be subtle. Birth control is abortion that is a smaller abortive event to the mind’s eye, and it is A-okay in the West, but snuffs out life as surely as the evil Goslen.
Their are plenty of “Catholics” and Protestants who abhor one method but will justify the other, on purely false grounds. God has condemned those who take innocent life, and how messy or unassuming the method was never in the equation.
This kind of lie makes man his own God, in his own image, electing to permit or deny life. Catholics may not do this, or support this and remain in communion with the Church. They are self excommunicated, even when in secret and unknown, it matters not; they are excommunicated on their own volition.
