I\u2019m just going to go ahead and let you know that this article is going to probably anger a lot of people. But I am a truth teller, and sometimes truth hurts. And as pro-lifers, this is information that we simply can\u2019t ignore\u2026no matter how much it affects our current lifestyle.<\/p>\n

This is the first of a three-part piece on hormonal contraception. I hope you will read all three parts and share this factual information with people who may not know these truths.<\/p>\n

The pro-life mantra has always been \u201cLife Begins at Conception.\u201d But do we really believe that? Do we really believe that life begins at that amazing moment of conception? Or do we actually believe that it begins at implantation? You may think that is a silly question. \u2018Of COURSE pro-lifers believe that life begins at conception! Hello?! We have been saying that for years!\u2019<\/p>\n

Well, then here\u2019s the kicker. If you believe that life begins at conception, then you MUST unequivocally oppose hormonal contraception. Here\u2019s why. Hormonal contraception does not always prevent ovulation. In fact, many studies done by the birth control manufacturers themselves state that only about half of women using their methods actually cease ovulating.<\/p>\n

Hmm. So how do these methods work if you are still ovulating at least half the time? Simple. These methods have a backup plan. Hormonal methods also work to thin the lining of the endometrium (uterine wall) so that a newly conceived human being (life begins at conception, right?) cannot implant on the uterine wall. Because the baby has nowhere to implant, they are spontaneously aborted.<\/p>\n

Will sexually active women abort their babies every cycle? Probably not. But you may. You don\u2019t know, and that\u2019s the scary (and morally troubling) part.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say that a demolition company was going to use a wrecking ball to destroy an old school. When the supervisor of the company asks the principal if they made sure to clear the building, the principal says, \u201cWe most likely did. We aren\u2019t 100% sure, but we are pretty confident.\u201d Would that be acceptable? Would you be willing to push that button that releases that wrecking ball? Would you be willing to risk that there may or may not be life in that building?<\/p>\n

If you take hormonal contraception and you are sexually active, then you are releasing that wrecking ball every month.<\/p>\n

Luckily, there is a way to space pregnancies without the potential loss of life. It\u2019s called Natural Family Planning. There are MANY different methods and sometimes it takes trying a couple before you find the right one for you. I recommend visiting\u00a0www.iusenfp.com<\/a>\u00a0to explore the various methods out there.<\/p>\n

And just in case you are one of those people who say, \u201cI have to take birth control because of xyz health condition,\u201d you actually don\u2019t. I\u2019m going to write another article on this, but I will tell you that by taking birth control, you are masking the problem, not solving it. NFP and NaPro technology can actually FIX the problem. You can find more information at\u00a0www.fertilitycare.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ladies, we have been force fed the idea that we must fix our unbroken fertility\u2026and that our fertility solely falls on our shoulders. But here\u2019s the reality. Fertility should be shared between a husband and wife. You don\u2019t get pregnant on your own. NFP is a beautiful way to help you share in that gift. It\u2019s worth your time to check it out.<\/p>\n
