"So do you oppose any and all types of regulation of birth?"

My personal opinion is really neither here nor there; I agree with Orthodoxy's position.

"NFP does not sever the unitive and procreative nature of sex. A couple using NFP is acting in an unitive and procreative act whenever they have intercourse. The fact that life does not come from each and every act is not due to the nature of the act they engaged in."

Of course it does! The fact that timing may be off and a baby results doesn't mean that the whole exercise of NFP isn't designed to avoid just that.

I'm not running too well on the clear side today, I was looking for what the Orthodox belief is. What is Orthodox's position?

I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean by this.
