In a letter dated 18/12/2018 this charity stated: “At Tearfund, we believe that limiting family size is not a frustration of the purpose of God as some have suggested, but is responsible stewardship of our resources. The responsible use of family planning within marriage is therefore an important aid to being able to make effective decisions about the future of our families so they can flourish instead of struggle. We recognise that some will prefer ‘natural’ methods while others will use modern contraceptives.”
