Abstract
After an introduction recounting the pronatalist views of the world's religions, the article goes on to explore each of the major religions, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Sikhism and Buddhism and their belief systems in relation to contraception and abortion. This is followed by a discussion of the practical consequences of these beliefs and of the role of the professional in helping women and couples of the varied faiths in their choice of methods. How these choices may affect religious practices and vice versa is also considered.
