Ping.
FYI Ping
What do you suggest?
Responsibility
Odds of 3 in 200,000. I might take the risk, or not. Leave the choice up to me.
How about the body basal method, wherein you track your basal temperature for several months to find out what day of your cycle you ovulate? Then it's just a matter of putting off intercourse during that window of fertility, which is about 4-5 days. Or has everyone become too addicted to convenience and immediate gratification to even consider this completely natural and harmless option?
How about Natural Family Planning??? When wet you are fertile - when dry you are not fertile.
Yes. Sex is good for you on many levels, not least of which is the intimacy created between you and the one you love. Surely something so beautiful cannot be bad? What is wrong with being happy 30 days out of 30 if one can? I can't see anything wrong with taking responsible measures to avoid pregnancy. However, if I was a young woman, I would take the pill vs. the patch based upon this data so far.
My point was that there are other options. You don't have to ingest hormones to remain unpregnant.
And the pill isn't necessarily safe either. It's well known that it suppresses one's libido while taking it. IT's not so well known that for some women that side effect becomes permanent even after you've stopped taking it.
What are the odds of dying in childbirth or pregnancy?
Are they less than the patch?
I doubt the arguement is against chemicals; it's against artificial birth control in general.
Oh, I thought you were advocating no birth control. If I started a pill that diminished my libido, I would certainly stop taking it. There are other methods that work about as well. According to my daughter's doctor, there is some protection against ovarian cancer in taking the pill as a young woman.
Artificial birth control is generally harmful.
There is also an increased risk of breast cancer, especially if the woman is a smoker.
** Could we please put about 10 million of these patches all along the Mexican border so that the Bush's guests can pick them for free, courtesy of the US taxpayer of course, and use them.
Thank You President Bush. Some of you who may have missed the earlier expose' of Bush's ordered cover up of the spike in border crossings when legislation was discussed about an amnesty for all illegals in the U.S. --- 25% increase which the Border Patrol was ordered by the adminstration TO NOT DISCLOSE ANY DETAILS TO THE MEDIA OR PUBLIC!!! Tancredo blew the whistle, along with Judicial Watch's great assistance. See Bill O. tonight for a repeat of the interview AND HARD EVIDENCE THAT TANCREDO COLLECTED!!!! This is unbelievably damning (deliberate cover-up) and exposes Bush's pro-illegal-Mexican agenda!!!
Just watch Bill O. tonight!! Made me want to puke.
It will be a sad day when the gov't & Bolshevik feminists dictates how often married men can bonk.
So gentlemen, the question is this. Are you going to stand firm against radical feminism and big-brother gov't, and their demands that we curb our bonking instinct? Or are you yourself going to be the one to determine the tempo of your bonking life?
I'll wait and read about it, because I absolutely cannot stand Bill O'Reilly!
This was an excellent segment and I would recommend staying up late to watch it or get the TIVO or whatever up and running.
In the case of unmarried women....abstinence! I tried it and it worked beautifully with no side effects!
WTF?
