Every year researchers find new means of evaluating the responsiveness of the conceptus in the womb. And every year they are amazed at how truly aware they are. So aware, in fact, that it almost seems as if they came equipped with that awareness, and their development is simply to gain the means to express it. Frankly, they are always a person, just not always one that can tell us so.
I just spent several hours researching this thing about birth control pills causing abortions. I knew that happened with low dose, but had no idea that everything is low dose now! How come no one ever tells me anything? I truly had no idea. My wife tossed her patch out as soon as I told her. The OB/gyn never said anything, and it is not on the paperwork that came with the patch! However, it is on the web site for the patch. What is up with that! To heck with it. We are just going to have to have kids...
That's interesting... we still have the triple-dose thingummies over here. The ones that prevent ovulation, although they aren't foolproof. I guess it comes down to whether or not you're prepared to take that risk.
Yes, yes, I know this is the exclusively Christian board, but I had a quick question for those who believe contraception is acceptable if it's not an "abortifacent": If a chemical contraceptive was invented that
most definitely would work by preventing ovulation, rather than by preventing implantation of a potentially fertilised egg, would you be for it?
Following on from that, what are your views of the developments towards a male contraceptive pill? I would imagine that, since many Christians are avoiding female contraceptive pills because they can cause an abortion, there would be a bigger Christian prescence behind the development of this technology. In my research, however, I haven't discovered this to be the case. Thoughts?
