Natural Family Planning would have been the moral choice in this situation, not sterilization. NFP is safe, effective, and it has absolutely no side effects. Also, it makes both the husband and the wife assume responsibility for their fertility. Unlike sterilization and contraception, NFP does not make the woman renounce her fertility just for the sake of being a sex object.
And what do you think I used for BC, and yet here I sit with 3 kids.Struggling to feed and clothe them as a single mother,I doubt God is going to hold my decision againsts me. There is just too much at stake to risk another pregnancy.
"Natural Family Planning would have been the moral choice in this situation, not sterilization..."
And in all charity, that was uncalled for.
