Natural Family Planning is every bit as effective as contraceptives, they just require more effort.
You think that because my wife is on the pill our relationship lacks emotional commitment.
Nobody said that, I am sure you and your wife have a wonderful relationship. I would say that is however despite the use of contraceptives rather than because of it. The larger issue however is the societal effects of contraceptive use. I agree with the article that the disconnection of sex from its proper place which the reproduction and bonding between partners in a committed marriage has led to many ills of which abortion is just one.
And I think you need to wake up and join the modern world. We have medicines to control or at least alter every function of our body, I don't see you guys trying to outlaw antacid.
No, because regulation of indegestion has no serious implications. The more important a thing is the greater care it must be dealt with. Reproduction is among the most important things for humanity and to alter its proper function can have disastrous results. Keep a lookout for a continutation of the precipitous fall in population rates in the West. Nations like Italy are literally dissapearing because their citizens have lost the will to give life to new generations. Contraception leads to selfishness, it does not seek to be open to life in the natural manner God intended, rather it grabs this gift as something to be controlled for one's own purposes. The West will cease to exercise the influence it has previously held in the world largely because of this attitude. The implications are far greater than you and your wife or any other couple.
If one were to use Natural Family Planning to prevent pregnancy in the same way one used contraception to prevent pregnancy, would that not lead to selfishness as well?
