A coalition of evangelicals is calling on fellow Christians to support access to family planning across the world, saying it does not conflict with evangelical opposition to abortion.
The centrist New Evangelical Partnership for the Common Good released a 15-page document Monday (Oct. 16) calling for “common ground” support of family planning and the health of mothers and children.

Jennifer Crumpton, one of the advisers to the evangelical group.
