"Church-approved "rhythm method"

[mzteris]

may kill more embryos than other methods of contraception."


". . .embryos conceived on the fringes of the fertile period are less viable than those conceived toward the middle.

Bovens says it can be calculated that two to three embryos will have died every time the rhythm method results in a pregnancy. "

Comment: also embryos conceived "on the fringes" may well be prone to more health problems.

5. Yip, and I am living proof

:D

I must add for context that my fiancée cannot use the pill or other such methods because there is too much breast cancer in her family history. We didn't even miscalculate, really, we're just really friggin fertile.

7. A friend of mine from France carries this little computer-thing

with her and takes her temperature a couple times a day and records it. It is her birth control.

3. I now have a mental image of a priest standing over a gyrating couple

screaming, "That's not the approved rhythm!"

8. This researcher has quite a sense of humor....

Bovens cites anti-abortion rights activists who equate global oral contraceptive use to chemical abortion that is responsible for tens of thousands of deaths of embryos, or unborn children, every year.

But, says Bovens, if all oral contraceptive users converted to the rhythm method, they would be effectively causing the deaths of millions of embryos.

So--obviously, the Church should endorse more "pro-life" contraception methods.
