The left just makes up whatever suits their agenda.

Ping.

Yeah, but it was peer reviewed. Wink, wink.

No kidding! Please don't tell them that many other religions use this same method.

My (Lutheran) DH called it the "Get Away From Me, I'm Ovulating" Method, LOL!

[Beyond the science, Bovens fails in philosophy and morality. "Bovens fails to make the necessary moral distinction between natural loss of an embryo and loss caused by deliberate human intervention," says Dr. Shea. "NFP does not cause loss of the embryo, and is not intended to do so. On the other hand, the oral contraceptive pill, the morning-after pill, Norplant, and the IUD all cause abortion because they impede implantation of the embryo in the uterine endometrium."]

That about sums it up.

A line from the May 25 article;

The “rhythm method” may kill off more embryos than other contraceptive methods

My Response then;

And here I was told all of my life that an unfertilized egg is NOT an embryo.

They've got to be kidding. Right? Are you sure this isn't from the Onion?

They're not the only ones. From the post

Dr. Shea also points out that Bovens is far short of the mark on his science. "The generally accepted figure for spontaneous abortion is not 50%, but 10 - 15 %. Ninety percent of all such abortions are due to rejection of a maldeveloped embryo or fetus," notes Dr. Shea.

This statement is nonsense. This study says 31% of all pregnancies were lost after implantation; that does not count cases where the embryo did not implant. A more recent study got a virtually identical rate of 30% natural abortions after implantation.

I thought this was a joke. I can't believe this guy is serious! Poor crazy man.

"In his article, which was publicized by a BMJ press release with the title "'Rhythm Method' May Kill Off More Embryos Than Other Methods Of Contraception", Bovens speculates that use of the "rhythm method of contraception" is responsible for two to three embryonic deaths for every pregnancy that results from conception outside the "centre interval" of the fertile period."

right...in their dreams. How can NATURAL abstinence kill embryos? Hello?? These guys are pitifully pathetic, and I don't say that of all lefties, just the ones who are invincibly ignorant. Pathetic.

[Antoninus]

This has got to win some kind of prize for most politically loaded "scientific" study conclusion.

It's pathetic how desperate some people are to protect artificial planned sterility.
