I'm sure you all recall the abortion pill RU-486. Call me crazy, but I thought they took that lethal injection off the market a long time ago. Turns out I'm wrong, but recent reports of adverse reactions to the pill, including the death of three women (who were of course exercising their "right" to choose), have some lawmakers pushing for the drug to be pulled off the market. Instead, the corrupt Food and Drug administration is merely require the makers of the pill to place a label on the bottle that warns patients of potentially complications "including bacterial infections, serious bleeding and death". Gotta love that last one. "Death". That's almost right up there next to "Your head will implode and you may experience gas with oily discharge". But hey, who pays attention to side effects anyway?

So I got into a short but pointed conversation recently with a married friend of mine who has decided to go off birth control not because she and her husband want to have kids, but because the things are wretchedly bad for women. So for them it's now a faithwalk. Interestingly enough, I can't possibly think of how that could ever be a bad thing. But in light of my last discussion of the topic, I'd just like to clarify that I tend to lean more to the side of natural methods because of the horrible damage the pill is causing to many women, and my uneasiness as a Christian with anything that has the word "control" in it.

Now if someone were to bring up the topic of Michael Moore and his wife (yes he has one, I couldn't believe it myself when I found out), we might have another discussion on our hands about which people should NOT be procreating.
