Fabulous article on how a Christian came to realize that contraception is not God’s will for us, and that The Pill very possibly causes an “abortion-by-accident”.
A Hard Pill to Swallow – Christianity Today Magazine:
“The thing is, ovulations do sometimes break through. Just ask the regular pill users who are bewildered—almost as much as was the mother of Jesus’ at the news of pregnancy. These getaway ova are, of course, hard to track down. In the rare event that pill users do ovulate, they usually don’t notice it. So only a handful of partial studies exist. They find that ovulations happen in between 1 and 5 percent of cycles in which no pills were missed.
“It’s possible that an egg might be released and be fertilized in the fallopian tube only to have the embryo arrive at the uterus to find an unfavorable endometrium,” the Christian Medical Association’s William Cutrer and Sandra Glahn recently wrote in The Contraception Guidebook (Zondervan, 2005). “The hostile uterine environment could potentially be incompatible with human life, and the embryo would die.” Yikes! This means that, if I interfere with the embryo’s effort to make its home in the uterus, I have on my hands, as these authors say, “a morally unacceptable situation.”"
