The surprising part of this article isn’t that it gets that the Pill isn’t a panacea. Nope, it’s a frank article that questions the health benefits and one size fits all approach to women’s wellness that currently passes as health care. The surprising thing is that after admitting the side effects, the possible (probable) cancer risks, and the un-natural, fertility suppressing approach to it all, the only alternative they really suggest is the non-hormonal IUD’s.
Huh.
Can anyone out there think of an alternative to the Pill that’s *not* an IUD , an abortafacient? Something that’s marriage building, mutually used, can be used to help diagnose the causes of infertility? Something that people use for religious as well as non-religious reasons?
Exactly. The funny thing is that most of the people commenting (Yay, Canada!) on the article are NFP/FAM fans, and at least one person comments on the interesting fact that the author completely misses the other half of her point, failing to mention natural methods of family planning. We’ll consider it an act of accidental ignorance, rather than a prejudicial act (far too common, unfortunately).
