I started to comment on the post below, but something caught my eye and I kept scrolling down. As I read post after post I found myself nodding in agreement and wishing "so-and-so" would read it too. "So-and-so" does read my blog and I have tried to address at least part of the objections and misunderstandings she sends my way. How I wish I could write as well as you.

We actually started using NFP for moral reasons before I would ever have dreamed of becomming Catholic (which we are now thank God). She is the 98%. I would love to see a study like this for drunkeness or illegal drug use. <br />The reasoning would go like this: "98% of Catholics have been drunk at some time in their life even though drunkeness is a sin in the eyes of their CHurch, so therefore we can force them to pay for the booze of people who want to get drunk."David Meyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06181838722750428356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546639772211374853.post-1777883300774591812012-02-07T19:42:14.289-07:002012-02-07T19:42:14.289-07:00I am the 98% as well, and those words - "have...I am the 98% as well, and those words - "have used" -jumped out at me right away because of this.

I took it for medical reasons and was not sexually active before I was married. A year before I got married I stopped using "The Pill" switched to NFP and informed myself of the repercussions of my young misinformed actions. Do I think that we should offer Free birth control? No way. Do I think it will cause more misinformation regarding birth control, certainly. Are most gynecologist misrepresenting "the Pill" and other such methods of contraception. Hell yes. How do I know this? I went through 4 different gynecologist before finding one who was not ready to force birth control on me as I walked through the door. If they are willing to give carcinogens to 13 year olds without parental consent why would we think that they wouldn't try to convince a married woman to use it under the disguise of Medical use. I have a moral obligation to say no. So do religious organizations who also find it morally despicable. Sorry but I'll go to jail before I am forced to expose my body or anyone else's body to this abuse again.The.Baroness.Von.Korfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09785486185254181483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546639772211374853.post-39854064517478429452012-02-07T15:31:04.835-07:002012-02-07T15:31:04.835-07:00Excellent, as always!Excellent, as always!Hebrews 11:1https://www.blogger.com/profile/15235249884008648163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546639772211374853.post-7825494542094640402012-02-07T15:03:05.088-07:002012-02-07T15:03:05.088-07:00Occupy Mordor.

I was prescribed BCP for my irregular cycles long before I ever converted to the Catholic Church. I certainly haven't used any contraceptives since I became Catholic. But according to the way they ask the questions...<br /><br />And, to follow their logic, since "everyone" speeds, we should get rid of all traffic laws too, right? And since "everyone" does drugs, we should make them all legal--especially since Pres. Clinton did pot and Pres. Obama did cocaine and who knows what else? Because obviously if "everyone" is doing it, that makes it ok, right?Tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06167042910848528493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7546639772211374853.post-26578115141655523332012-02-07T14:18:13.060-07:002012-02-07T14:18:13.060-07:00Thank you, thank you, thank you.
