Why do young people so totally and unquestionably accept contraception? This is something that must be understood if we are to attempt to turn back the tide of secular hedonism which says you can do what you like without any consequences.
A number of my friends have no faith at all. I do not blame them for this, their parents had no faith and so did not pass on even the smallest understanding of any faith or that a God may even exist. Some of them have girlfriends and openly admit that they use contraception on a regular basis.
From what I can see there are a few reasons for this. Firstly there is a lack of commitment in the first place. People today, particularly the younger generation are not able to take in the idea of giving their whole life to another. They need to be with each other for 5-10 years, living with them for a large part of that before they could even consider Marriage. This lack of commitment and fear of things not working out is why they see having children as the last thing they would want to happen, but at the same time they want to be living the life of a married couple and having sex comes as a normal thing.
The second reason that I see as to why our current generation use contraception
is that they see children as something they will 'do' later in their life. They want to have fun and do all the things they have ever wanted, and children would - in their view -get in the way of that. They see children as “ruining” their life and stopping them from doing what they want to do.
This mindset is engraved upon the mentality of today’s culture. Until we change this we will never stop contraception in this country. There are many other reasons why contraception is used, but I think that until we can change the mindset of fear young people have contraception will be widespread. When people again understand the importance of Marriage and bringing new life to the world and the joy that both of these bring they will never understand why they shouldn’t use contraception.

We also need to think about the massive propaganda campaigns following the publication of Paul Ehrlich's The Population Bomb, and the pressure from the anthopogenic climate change lobby - essentially the vanguard of a new, apocalyptic, religion - to reduce the human population.
