For real?

Glad I’m Protestant.

I had fertility issues that made “natural” birth control impossible. And I sure did want a family of Duggars.

Do you advocate for modern medicine? God did give us a brain to development treatments and medicinal options.

And speaking of the Amish, I live near a large community...incest is a real issue...

Really incest amongst Amish

Bad as Indian reservations

Pity

I never imagined that

I do advocate for modern medicine, which is the opposite of contraception.

Ethical medicine targets disease, and restores or strengthens natural function.

Contraception (and related destructive interventions, like sex-reassignment surgery) targets and disables healthy organs, and intentionally impairs natural functioning.

Ethical medicine heals. Contraception-sterilization-sexchange surgery harms. It's intended to. It impairs normal sexual physiology.

And nothing requires non-contraceptors to have as many kids as the Duggars. My parents never practiced contraception, and had two children. My husband and I never practiced contraception, and we have one (homegrown!) and one adopted.
