NFP/Rhythm Method Cause more Abortions than BC


Some bad news for devoted Pro-Lifers has just been released by the London School of Economics. The rhythm method, which employs the practice of only participating in intercourse when a woman is not in the fertile phase of her menstrual cycle, has proven to actually kill more embryos than other birth control methods. Conception can still occur after the fertile time but the embryo is unable to implant in the uterine wall, this causes embryonic death. Luc Bovens, of the London School of economics states, "millions of rhythm method cycles per year globally depend for their success on massive embryonic death."

I would think this is bad news for all people who have some sympathy. By the tone of your message I guess you don't qualify!

Controversial rhythm method study revealed
A British study suggests the Roman Catholic Church-approved "rhythm method" may kill more embryos than other methods of contraception.







The "rhythm method" relies on abstinence during the most fertile period of a woman's menstrual cycle. For women who have regular 28-day cycles, that occurs around days 10 to 17 of the cycle.

It's believed the method works by preventing conception from occurring. But Professor Luc Bovens of the London School of Economics says it may owe much of its success to the fact that embryos conceived on the fringes of the fertile period are less viable than those conceived toward the middle.

Bovens says it can be calculated that two to three embryos will have died every time the rhythm method results in a pregnancy.

Bovens cites anti-abortion rights activists who equate global oral contraceptive use to chemical abortion that is responsible for tens of thousands of deaths of embryos, or unborn children, every year.

But, says Bovens, if all oral contraceptive users converted to the rhythm method, they would be effectively causing the deaths of millions of embryos.

The study appears in the Journal of Medical Ethics.

I have never understood anyone who protests both abortion and contraception. That is insanity.

Okay let's see.. the egg is released from ovaries and travels the falopian tube to the uterus in 24 hours. The egg can be fertilized at any moment during those 24 hours. So what you are saying is if the egg is fertilized in the last hours before it implants in the uterus is less viable? hahahaha

Then what you are saying is that nfp'ers are having sex in the actual ovulation timing..when exactly what they are doing is not having sex during those 24 hours ovulating time..

And please separate catholics from pro-lifers. There is many pro-lifers who are not catholic.

The other thing I don't have clear too is if the egg doesn't get fertilized during those 24 hour ovulation time it implants in the uterus unfertilized and therefore you have your period, so what this article is saying is that the egg does can get fertilized after it has implanted in the uterus unfertilized and then that causes embryonic death?? If that is of course that's why it is established that you can only get pregnant in only the 24 hours ovulation time!

Why not? O.o *blink* The uterus isn't ready before the fertile stage and after the fertile stage it's ready to be disposed of, so it makes rather a lot of sense that embryos that implant during either of those times would have a high chance of miscarrying.

What they're actually saying is that no woman knows for sure when she ovulates, so even though there is the "window", that there may have been another ovulation before, or, the woman ovulated at a different time that was out of sync with her uterus, thus creating the unfavorable environment.

An egg cannot implant alone. It has to be fertilized FIRST, then it implants, so maybe you misread the article. An egg could reach the uterus without being fertilized, but it cannot implant until it is an embryo.

And perhaps you can get pregnant outside of the 24 hour zone? Certainly, sperm can hang around for a few days.

actually you would be surprised how accurate the nfp'ers predict ovulation..

You can only get pregnant at ovulation. Yes the sperm can hang out alive for a few days but they can only impregnate when the egg is being released. Therefore if you have sex before the day you ovulate then yes surely you get pregnant because the sperm will be there alive by the time the egg is released.

I'm not saying that. Scientists who actually research this are.

You would be surprised at how little you know about human reproduction.

For example, do you realize that 90% of all fertilized eggs die before they can develop before they are born?

This has nothing to do with abortion, either.

Chromosome abnormalities are the commonest cause of death in humans. They kill at the very minimum two-thirds of potential humans, more likely 80 to 90 percent and they mostly do so through these lethal aneuploidies.

Why did you not just tell the truth to begin with? You said 90% when it was UP TO 90%. I also noticed that they did not provide their "Multiple sources"

And more importantly, who cares? The death of the non-viable beginnings of life is a part of life, darwinism at it's finest. That being said there is no excuse for frivolously aborting a viable human life. This act is greedy and reckless! Smile

Right embarrassed. Like they forget I have college credits in human physiology. I sure can recognize what is bs and what is not.

Her credits are slightly better than your credits! Very
Happy I also note that the Nightangel does quote sources accurately, which you failed to do earlier on this thread. At this point, I must say Nightangel qualifies as good marital material. Razz

This is from the exact same source:

"So the selection against chromosome abnormalities in humans before birth is enormous, it's over 90 percent. I would say probably even higher than that."

Learn this lesson now: Don't ever challenge me on a source, fact, study, link, etc. I never say ANYTHING I can't back up.
