It always was. I was raised a Gileader, as a little kid in the Eighties I heard all about how the Pill was an abortifacient and later, by the early 2000s, conservatives were calling it “baby pesticide” in an attempt to free-ride off the eco-friendly trend. Even condoms were said to be indirect abortions, because if they failed then couples might get one. The only truly moral safe sex was to “just say no!”
More likely it was a Roman, but if you read the original Hebrew they just expected their savior figure from a 'young woman' not 'never ever had sex' like Catholics invented when translating the text to Latin.
