A search of Ellen White's published books does not reveal any direct mention or discussion of "contraception" by name. The available sources focus on related topics such as health reform, the dangers of drug medication, moral purity, and parental responsibility, but do not specifically address the subject of contraception or birth control. If you are seeking Ellen White's perspective on contraception, it is important to note that her writings do not provide explicit guidance or statements on this topic. Her health counsel generally emphasizes natural remedies, abstinence from harmful substances, and moral living, but contraception itself is not directly discussed in the books. If you would like me to search other collections (such as manuscripts, periodicals, or compilations) for any possible references, please let me know. References: - Ellen G. White, various published books (no direct mention of contraception or birth control found)

Ellen White’s published books do not contain a direct, explicit discussion of abortion by name as it is understood today. However, her writings do address related issues such as the sanctity of life, parental responsibility, and the violation of the sixth commandment (“Thou shalt not kill”). Here are some relevant points from her books: - She strongly condemns “moral pollution” and practices that lead to the degeneration of the race, associating them with disease and early death (Testimonies for the Church 2:391; HL 216.3). - She references the violation of the law “Thou shalt not kill” (MB 56.1), which is often cited in discussions about the morality of abortion. - She emphasizes the responsibility of parents to care for the health and well-being of their children, both before and after birth, and condemns actions that unnecessarily endanger or destroy life (SA 112.2; PP 308.5). - She discusses the negative consequences of “mismanagement” that leads to the loss of life, calling it a “great responsibility to take the life of a human being in hand” (2T 386.2). - She notes that many miscarriages are caused by unhealthy habits, such as “fashionable dress” (HL 155.3), but does not equate this with intentional abortion. - She condemns bringing children into the world irresponsibly, but this is in the context of parental care and not a direct endorsement of abortion (2T 380.2). In summary, while Ellen White’s books do not directly address abortion as a medical or social practice, her writings uphold the sanctity of life, condemn the unnecessary taking of life, and emphasize parental responsibility. Any application of her principles to the topic of abortion would be interpretive rather than based on explicit statements.
