There are two issues that need to be settled with this topic.

First is regarding control - is it permissible for man to control (or attempt to control) the size of his quiver. Must all people everywhere have as many children as possible never preventing conception minus abstinence or else violate a moral law?

Answer this one first then move on to the second:

Second is regarding types of control. Is abstinence, medication, abortifacients, coitus interruptus or Barrier methods permissible?
