Is it too Late to undo what the Birth Control Pill has Done?

"Is it too Late to undo..."

Too late... Unless we drain all of the Nation's reservoirs...

[Mrs. Don-o]

You forgot your /s/

Plus the other “smaller” issues like high blood pressure, and water retention.

When I met my beautiful bride-to-be (in a bar), and got to know of her lack of Christian upbringing, I never imagined that I would hear say: “I don’t believe in the pill. It’s just another way to degrade, what is supposed to be special between a man and wife.” I had a Christian upbringing; strong enough to resist the urge (even in the most irresistable situations that I would put myself in). But I fell in love with her after the first date, and would have done anything she asked. She said we wait.

11 months later we married, and that first night was well worth the wait. We met 42 ago this coming friday night. The song, “Some Enchanted Evening” by Bing Crosby, really describes the moment quite well.

I’m so glad my girl said no to the pill, and to guys looking for action.

As I said, lust. That's all promiscuity is.

Shall we debate having runners on cars? You don’t know what that is? They stopped putting them on cars around the same time the birth control pill issue was debated.

What is a "runner" on a car? Thanks.

[Mrs. Don-o]

The fact that grave damage has been going on for many years, doesn't make a case for tolerating the ongoing damage.

In the U.S., 40,000 breast cancer deaths per year.

Yup, that's about right.

[Zuriel]

**The problem with that is that too many people forget to have a life, and get too wrapped up in their ‘personal’ success and careers, etc., such that they put off forging close loving relationships and friendships, and having children. I strongly believe in working hard, taking personal responsibility, and avoiding the need for instant gratification. However, carried to an extreme this will just leave you empty later in life.**

Well said.

I have two step sisters, and two (male) cousins, in their late 50s thru mid 60s that are exactly what you descibed.

Congratulations to you and your beautiful bride, and thank you for a lovely post.
Btw, “Some Enchanted Evening” was my dear mother’s favorite song, too.

A board under doors so a person could step up on it before stepping into the car. If you watch old movies you’ll see cops jump on the runner and ride on the outside of the car. We had a car with one when I was young.

[Mrs. Don-o]

And take the wider, global view. The cratering of the birthrate and replacement of the population of the West is such a a hopeful, encouraging thing.

Really, it is. Inshallah.

Ah, a "runner" also known as a "running board." I imagine they were quite useful when streets didn't have kerbs/curbs and paved sidewalks, the curb, I believe, has taken over some of the function of the running board, as it provides a stepping stool to get into the car.

[cymbeline]

“Even most Catholics support the pill today.”

That has nothing to do with the author’s arguments.

Still on pickups ...at least they are available.

Sorry cymbeline, was response to 31 not 32...<:

I for one welcome our sterile artificially intelligent pleasure bot companion overlords.

[GOPJ]

Well, it sure would be nice if ONE TIME this was issue was discussed when we weren't leading up to a Presidential election.

I suspect the ‘timing’ of this debate was once again created by democrats who play our side for fools. But have at it...

What's next? Are you going to debate the ethics of using a condom? Because that's exactly the same issue... it stops a birth that might have been. How about debating whether women have the right to say 'no' during their 'time' ... that also prevents a possible birth. How many angles can dance on the head of a pin?

Oh well, this will only be a hot issue until next November than it'll all go quiet for four years. Thanks guys. Why don't you have a three year debate AFTER the election for once?

There are other causes of breast cancer including a genetic predisposition. I also know of several women who developed breast cancer from doing invitro fertilization and getting those hormone shots.

[GOPJ]

We have liberal nuts telling young people they should forgo having children ‘to save the earth’... Those are the people and ideas we have to fight at this time. Going back to an earlier time sidelines our ideas and values. Let's go for the long run - winning on the larger issue - - encouraging families and children and Christian values..in an effective way.

Angelus News seems to be some type of Roman Catholic publication (Correct me if I am wrong). Nothing seems political nor a push by any Republican banning “the pill” , just a P(r)SA. I think outlets warning on the reprocussions are OK, apparently some posters are losing their minds over exposing the obvious “carrot on the stick”/Pied Piper of hormonal Xanadu.

[Salman]

The funny thing is, they do.

It's just not called that.
