Last month the Supreme Court rejected Texas' regulations
on abortuaries. The real "killing
fields" of abortion clinics were required to meet the same standards as
ambulatory surgical centers (e.g. halls wide enough to allow gurneys
through). In addition, abortionists must
have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital.
Are these unreasonable rules?
Can judicial activism determine ethics? Is it right to kill babies and sell baby parts for profit? Most contraceptives
are actually abortifacients. Is there an
answer for these tragedies?
Have you heard of the Billings Ovulation Method
(BOM)? In 1953, Dr. John Billings (d. 2007)
discovered the relationship between cervical mucus and fertility. This method of natural family planning has
even been taught to illiterate groups with positive results. In 2005, 18% of abortions were performed on
married women! This could have been avoided completely by
using the ovulation method.
According to John Brennan (M.D. OB-GYN, Medical College
of Wisconsin), "One of the most significant discoveries of this century
[20th] in the field of human reproduction has been the development of this new
natural method of family planning - the Ovulation Method. ... a woman is only
fertile approximately 100 hours per cycle ..." [1]
Love and Fertility by Mercedes Wilson is an excellent
down-to-earth explanation of the method and includes tons of helpful
illustrations. The Ovulation Method has
been used in over 100 countries, is about 99% effective, has no side-effects
and costs nothing‼ For detailed research
supporting this technique see The Ovulation Method of Birth Regulation published by Van Nostrand Reinhold
(also by Wilson).
For a vital intro on life issues, be sure to see the
documentary Whatever Happened to theHuman Race? by C. Everett Koop (former Surgeon General) and Francis
Schaeffer. What do you think about
