Questions specifically on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) faith on contraception:
1. Does LDS church allow contraception?
2. What forms do they allow?
3. What are their arguments for allowing (or not allowing) contraception?
On question #2 I would like to know the LDS take on what the Bible describes Onan as doing in Genesis 38:8,9 . Is that allowed or not and why?
Genesis 38:8,9:
> Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife and fulfill
> your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your
> brother.” 9 But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever
> he slept with his brother’s wife, **he spilled his semen on the
> ground** to keep from providing offspring for his brother.
