simply not true. i am one of 12 kids (soon to be 13) and my parents are everything but millionaires. we've all survived just fineBirth control is inevitable in any marriage. No couple can take care of 10+ children (well, some millionaires can).
money isn't everything, and quite often what we think is poverty is just going without things we don't actually need. love is the most important thing, we can live without money, but we can't live without love (at least, not live life as it should be lived)The only couple I know who raised 10 children, ended up with a couple of schizophrenic sons. And I don't think it was a coincidence.
Just because some peope in the 1920s managed it, does not mean that people in this present time will manage it. We live in a very different world now. It is becoming increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to buy homes, in most civilized countries in the world. People who live in the Western world now, are, increasingly finding themselves in situations where they are homeless and hungry. The third world is moving towards the west. We are already seeing it in Europe.
With the pressures of poverty and homelessness it becomes increasingly difficult, if not impossible, to raise emotionally stable children. How can parents who are placed under extreme stress from financial pressures and homelessness, raise happy, balanced children? It is not possible. Something has to give.
The ideal of a happy, large family with a happy mum and dad and happy children is, just that, an ideal. It rarely, if ever, exists, especially in these modern times. In most countries of the world the reality is very different.
http://www.noroomforcontraception.com/Articles/Ortho-Evra-Birth-Control-Patch-Lawsuits.htmOne has to wonder how many women have been told by their OB/GYNs that their potential death from a fatal blood clot is an 'acceptable risk' of using hormone based contraceptives?
Please, if you've never researched this issue and are just going along with what you've been told your whole life, examine it now. http://www.noroomforcontraception.com/
It's imperative we end the deaths caused by these poisons and devices of this self-inflicted castration.

from: http://www.noroomforcontraception.com/Resources/Birth-Control-FAQ.htmThe founders of No Room for Contraception are Catholic, however this is not a Catholic organization. The purpose and goal of No Room for Contraception is to expose the harms that artificial contraception brings to marriage and society, and this goal does not require belief in any religious tradition. The Catholic Church has been the only major Christian religion to firmly oppose artificial contraception. Her many documents clearly and prophetically explain this teaching. Because of Her firm leadership against the use of chemical contraception, No Room for Contraception has links to the major Catholic Church documents on this topic, and draws heavily from the works of Catholic theologians and scholars.

Here are my views on BC (yes, I know I'm just a kid, but I still have views):
I can't stand it when people go on birth control, then say, "If God really wanted us to have another child, a little tiny pill isn't going to stop Him!" That makes no sense.
And, not too mention, that is NOT always true. Yes, God can do absolutely ANYTHING, but I believe that sometimes He respects our free will, and if we are consciously trying to prevent something (like pregnancy) from happening, the above often repeated quote is not alway going to happen, and then we missed out on a great blessing from the Lord.
Secondly, I believe it is up to the husband, the spiritual leader of the household, to decide whether or not his wife goes on birth control or not (given he's been given insight from God), because he is responsible for his household and therefore, can make the decisions for his house.
But all in all, I think a couple should totally and completely ask God how many children HE wants that couple to have, not how many children that couple wants to have. If God wants you to have five children, yet you only have two (because you only want two), that would be disobedience.
. Women were nothing but breeders who turned out babies like rabbits before birth control...if that's is not objectifying a woman I don't know what is.
The divorce rate is higher because of no fault divorce.
Also spousal abuse is now frowned upon so people experiencing an abusive marriage can divorce without being ridiculed..
Hmmmm.... does that make a baby akin to a flood?
So the person who will not become pregnent is to make the decision? Does God only give insight to husbands? Do Christian wives not have the Holy Spitit within them? Does GOd not talk to women? I seem to remember God sending an angel to Mary and to Joseph.
So my husband and I should turn the decision over to a someone who has never had sex, never been pregnent, never raised a child, doesn't have a medical degree and will not help financially support any child we might have?
That is totally wrong. An IUD makes the uterus hostile to the zygote so it cannot implant and dies. Pills sometimes prevent ovulation, but if not, they also cause abortion in the same way an IUD does.

This is basically a side topic on the issue, and potentially a whole other debate in itself. The question is: if an egg is fertalized, is it now a life? Or is it only a life once it is firmly attached to the uterine wall?
It's a difficult subject. I tend to lean towards believing it's a life at that earliest stage. But then many fertilized eggs don't attach to the lining for all kinds of reasons, even when no b/c is used. So do we go so far as to say that the woman is having miscarrages? It's a tough one. So for me, I couldn't use the methods that would cause the fertilized egg to be rejected, nor would I recommend it to anyone (sort of an err on the side of caution, I guess). But I can't condemn anyone for using it either, because it's just not black and white.

So you don't care that millions of people are chemically and surgically castrating themselves? Most people whould consider it an insult to be told not to reproduce. I'm sure I would get warned on this forum that that is considered flaming, even if the person proudly proclaims they are using birth control voluntarily. Think about that.what business is it of ours if people use (or don't) use birth control? That's between them isn't it?

Pregnancy is a normal and natural state of the female body, not a disease.Dr. Shaun Biggers of New York Presbyterian Hospital says that very few women are expected to die from Ortho Evra. He told Cuomo: “Based on our best estimates — less than two per 100,000 women less than the age of 35 will die from complications of the patch.” Yet more than twice that number have already died.
from: http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1761858Patients have eagerly embraced the Internet and its email capacity to increase their knowledge and access to medical information. Along with access to countless patient support "chat rooms" and an ever-increasing volume of full text health and medical literature, the Internet also offers a virtually barrier-less opportunity to engage physicians in email dialogue. While this opportunity is seductive and cost-free to patients, physicians should exercise care and wariness in their email exchanges with patients - especially if the patient is unknown to them.

This brief commentary will summarize the common law legal risks of responding and offering advice or diagnostic suggestions to patients over the Internet. It will focus primarily on the concept of duty and how it has evolved in the United States. (Medical negligence cases in the United States are state law causes of action. Thus there are jurisdictional differences from state to state. However, the concept of duty as discussed in this article is well-settled law, and the consensus in virtually all U.S. jurisdictions.)

As a woman I've dealt directly with contraceptive issues. That site is inflamatory on purpose.Please, if you've never researched this issue and are just going along with what you've been told your whole life, examine it now.http://
Isn't that what birth control makes her? The woman poisons her bodies, aborts her children or has her reproductive organs sliced up so the man can get sexual gratification without the responsibility of a blessed child. Not sure what the second sentence is supposed to mean in relation to the subject.So what is the wife, just a utility for sex and babies?
If it had been up to my father to be the spiritual leader, we would all have been lost.

If we are truly talking about 'informed adults' then they know all this and shouldn't take offense at the truth. But many people just use contraceptives because it's what society says to do. I call that intellectual rationalization of sin.
