The general ignorance surrounding NFP is a real tragedy, because couples who use it almost universally report what a boon it is to their marriage. NFP is not "Catholic birth control." Nor is it the calendar rhythm method, which has a 15 percent failure rate and went out the window decades ago. It is a method whereby both partners exercise restraint during the wife's fertile period, which is determined by a few simple symptoms. Used correctly, it is more effective than the pill. And it ought to be noted that the more effective an artificial contraceptive is, the more potentially harmful side-effects there are for the wife.

Seems like birth control is birth control.

You think that not having sex is the same as birth control?

Big difference between NFP and artificial contraception. NFP doesn't carry with it the increase risk of stroke, heart attack, blood clots, cancer, death or abortion of an embryo.

Bottom line - artificial contraception is nothing more than chemical roulette.
