(The Rev. John A. O'Brien, "Let's Take Birth Control...)

Many other Protestant_denominations preceded the Anglicans in such action .

Since then , many Protestant_denominations have made separate pronouncements , in which they not_only approved birth_control , but declared it at_times to be a religious duty .

An action once universally condemned by all Christian_churches and forbidden by the civil_law is now not_only approved by the overwhelming majority of Protestant_denominations , but also deemed , at certain times , to be a positive religious duty .
