These same people will shamelessly use modern birth control, despite not being used for thousands of years. That's why those ideals existed for so long.
Is everything traditional automatically wrong and everything modern automatically right?

You got all this from the poster you replied to? It sure seem you are doing a lot of projecting and straw man building.
How did you get this? The point of a fallacy is that the conclusion does not follow, not that "the inverse is correct". Just because something is traditional does not mean it is right, though it can be. Just because something is not traditional does not mean it is wrong, though it can be. Capitalism wasn't traditional, turned out to be a good idea. Not-murdering-people is traditional, and a pretty good one to follow.

Yes, most people use modern birth control (e.g., condoms). It is a reasonable assumption to make.
Pay attention to the deeper point being made: effective birth control has not been available for all those thousands of years of "tradition". Why do you think premarital sex has been taboo for so long? Because until recently, that was a really good way to create unstable, broken families.
