I don't know what to make of these guys. Nearly everywhere, they equate science with atheism with lacks of morals.

I was born a Catholic. My own views over religion have changed significantly in 42 years. I'll say that I'm an atheist, maybe an agnostic.

I looked up their article on contraception and abortion (I know these are very controversial subjects in the USA).

My own position is the following :

Abortion is not a means of contraception and should be reseved for extreme cases (rape, foetus difformity, etc.)

Contraception should be teached in school along with the subject of human reproduction. The best way to have teenagers do something they should not is to tell them that it is not right. They'll go at it right away. Hence the rate of teenage pregnancy in the USA. I'll probably shock some people : the sex education I received was in a class of human biology when I was 14. My teacher was a NUN !!! It wasn't sex ed per se it was a class on the human anatomy. Following that class, she offered us advice on how to protect ourselves from STD or pregnancy.

It was in 1983. AIDS was making its debut in the media...

Since then I've always protected myself, and by doing it, my partners. Not that I'm profligate, even at 42, I can count them with less than my two hands.

That protection is not from pregnancy, but from death.
