*can 'o' worms opened. Sorry*
Separating out the procreative aspect from sex. With timed abstinence you just don't have sex during the fertile week when you're trying to avoid pregnancy, which is fine. But when you take the pill or use a condom, you introduce something into the sex itself to render it sterile. Since we believe sex is a highly sacred thing, we think purposely changing its nature so fundamentally isn't right.
But that only applies to married couples. For unmarried folks, we don't think it's moral to be having sex at all, so whether or not they use artificial contraception doesn't matter. It becomes a moot point unless the couple is married.
Can there ever be too much of a good thing where peopling up the earth is concerned, in your opinion? Would you be fine with massive extinctions of many, many other species just so that we can continue to go forth and be fruitful?
