Readers' Responses to Does
the Birth Control Pill Cause Abortions?
I am a first-year family medicine resident at SWMC. I have made
the difficult decision to not prescribe any contraceptives (pills,
patches, IUD's, etc) in my practice. The main motivation for this
has been Randy's article Does the Birth Control Pill Cause Abortion?
These possibilities were not taught to me in medical school and
I really believed that the Pill completely suppressed ovulation.
Now I know differently and it has changed the way I approach women's
health care. I encourage Natural Family Planning and I am trying
to put together some resources to give patients. I wanted to let
you know that as a ministry, you are changing hearts and my wife
and I are all the more committed to life. We had been on the pill
for our first 3 years of marriage. After we both read the article,
we felt that the Spirit was telling us to trust God and not use
contraception except NFP. It has been the best year of marriage
yet! We are even expecting our first child in April! Thank you for
preaching the truth fearlessly even in the face of so much confusion
in the Christian medical world. - D. H.
