I'm just...amazed! Do you think they should just stop having sex? Is that it? They still are young, could YOU stop having sex with your spouse for the next 10 - 20 years?If not, do you think they should use birth control methods? Which one?

condom - only about 60% - 70% effective - pregnancy could still occur - and DOES

BC pill - most are ‘abortifacient’ in their effect - meaning they can cause a viable embryo to not be able to attach to the uterine wall and be expelled (still an abortion) I had a friend who got pregnant two times while on the pill!

Rhythm method - could be they already do use this, maybe not. Not extremely effective (my mom had 5 kids using this method)

Tubal ligation - risk to woman's health as a surgery. Not always 100% effective. Some see this as “playing” God with reproduction.

Vasectomy - not 100% effective either (my Dad had one and went on to father two more kids - a brother and a step-brother).

So, in other words, whatever they do, it is their decision and nobody else's.

Where did you get those statistics on condoms? Perfect use puts it at 98% effective and typical use puts it at 85%.

I was interested to see a study that said “pulling out” is almost equally effective. Obviously only where pregnancy is concerned, but not STDs.

No method is 100% effective, and she is clearly very fertile, but with some kind of BC they wouldn’t have as many children. But that is whatever, they are paying for all of it.
