premed_jakey Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 That was a great article. I hope that women will finally see that contraception is not their best option. My cousin was a "birth control baby". Im glad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 My college roommate got pregnant on the pill, but promptly miscarried. It isn't designed to prevent conception, just to prevent carrying the fetus. It's an abortive that sometimes doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apparent Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) [i]“This study confirms the lack of knowledge women have about their bodies and education programs are urgently needed to reverse this situation,” [/i]Ms Curnow said. Everybody knows that baby’s come from; it not a lack of knowledge. It’s a choice, or free will. also, clearly is corruption of the sacrament, Marriage Marriage is a state of grace and a precious thing. This article (Natural Family Planning) makes children sound like a dreadful disease. Edited February 1, 2008 by apparent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition to preventing carrying, it also changes the mucus patterns so as to make a bad environment for sperm to survive long enough to reach the egg (no good mucus, no conception), and it also prevents women from ovulating. So, yes, although it is abortive also, it's primary "design" was to prevent conception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 Prose-thanks for correcting me. It just shows again how much misunderstanding women have about the pill. I guess if I had ever used it, I might have known more rather than going on just what I had heard from other people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thy Geekdom Come Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 [quote name='CatherineM' post='1453696' date='Jan 31 2008, 07:24 PM']My college roommate got pregnant on the pill, but promptly miscarried. It isn't designed to prevent conception, just to prevent carrying the fetus. It's an abortive that sometimes doesn't work.[/quote] Well, it's designed to prevent conception and implantation. First, it's supposed to keep a woman from ovulating (which would, of course, prevent conception). It does this by giving a woman WAY too much estrogen, which also has the effect of making the uterus resistant to fetal implantation, thus causing miscarriage and making it an abortifacient. What's troubling is that when they were testing the pill, they had a version for men and a version for women. A few men got sick, so they stopped the men's line. Four women died, so they reduced the dosage. You think they care for women? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 We didn't have to have the NFP talk when we went through marriage prep in Edmonton two years ago. I guess they figured we were to old to bother with it. We did find out one thing about NFP, it doesn't work good if you can't keep your hands off each other, and never assume anyone is too old.

Ash Wednesday Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) I was at the gym yesterday was reading from a Glamour magazine from 2005 that had an article stating the benefits of a woman knowing her cycle and having fertility awareness. Apparently this is something that not many women pay attention to. What killed me was in the article it said "Did you know that there's only a few days out of the month where you are actually fertile? If you're using contraception but still want to play it safe, you can always abstain during the days there are signs you are most fertile as an extra precaution" Gee, really! [quote name='Autumn Dusk' post='1453858' date='Feb 1 2008, 12:18 AM']I was a birth control baby...and it was only the beginning of surviving![/quote] I was a birth control baby as well. Not that I entirely blame the parentals, as the priest (along with so many priests in the 70s) told them it was "okay."God always has the last word!
