NONFICTION
BOOK INDEX |
"The
Pill" is the popular term for more than forty different
commercially available oral contraceptives. In medicine, they
are commonly referred to as BCPs (birth control pills) or OCs
(oral contraceptives). They are also called "Combination
Pills," because they contain a combination of estrogen and
progestin.
The Pill is used by about fourteen million American women each
year. Across the globe it is used by about sixty million. The
question of whether it causes abortions has direct bearing on
untold millions of Christians, many of them prolife, who use
and recommend it. For those who believe God is the Creator of
each person and the giver and taker of human life, this is a
question with profound moral implications.
Does the Birth Control Pill Cause Abortions? is the 8th
Edition, revised in 2007, complete with endorsements from ten
physicians. |

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. |
