Representative Scalise wasn't there when the Bible was written. Obviously.

The Bible nowhere forbids birth control, either explicitly or implicitly, and we should not add universal rules that are not in Scripture (cf. Psalm 119:1, 9 on the sufficiency of Scripture).

Aleph

1 Blessed are they whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD.  

2 Blessed are they who keep his statutes and seek him with all their heart.  

3 They do nothing wrong; they walk in his ways.  

4 You have laid down precepts that are to be fully obeyed.  

5 Oh, that my ways were steadfast in obeying your decrees!  

6 Then I would not be put to shame when I consider all your commands. 

7 I will praise you with an upright heart as I learn your righteous laws.  

8 I will obey your decrees; do not utterly forsake me.

Beth  

9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By living according to your word.

I find it unfortunate that even after professing himself a penitent man before God and while standing on the Bible as his US Constitution (which is treason by the way) he still makes up his own rules. Isn't it like a Republican to make up their own rules.

1. Psalm 119:1 This psalm is an acrostic poem, the stanzas of which begin with successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet; moreover, the verses of each stanza begin with the same letter of the Hebrew alphabet. 

Is birth control consistent with the truth that children are a gift from the Lord? (click here)

It is very important to delight in the reality that "children are a gift of the Lord." But some people go further and argue from this that since children are gifts from God, it is wrong to take steps to regulate the timing and number of children one has.
In response, it can be pointed out that the Scriptures also say that a wife is a gift from the Lord (Proverbs 18:22), but that doesn't mean that it is wrong to stay single (1 Corinthians 7:8). Just because something is a gift from the Lord does not mean that it is wrong to be a steward of when or whether you will come into possession of it. It is wrong to reason that since A is good and a gift from the Lord, then we must pursue as much of A as possible. God has made this a world in which tradeoffs have to be made and we cannot do everything to the fullest extent. For kingdom purposes, it might be wise not to get married. And for kingdom purposes, it might be wise to regulate the size of one's family and to regulate when the new additions to the family will likely arrive. As Wayne Grudem (click here) has said, "it is okay to place less emphasis on some good activities in order to focus on other good activities." 

The arguments of Representative Scalise are rhetorical, not based in Biblical context and of his own political preference.

The Southern Baptist Conventions RULES the south.
