Ping!
There is natural birth control, but it involves one’s knees.
Yep... as we say here in Texas....”A good cowgirl keeps her calves together” ; )
Bumping this one. Ouch!
Very true!
Using the pill is so counter-intuitive to good health. Estrogen supplements during menopause are pretty awful too.
After years of fertility problems, I did not go back on the Pill after I had my son. Actually, I tried to go back on it but stopped four days into the pack. They made me feel like crap, and I haven’t taken them since. After some research, I really don’t think that the Pill is all that safe, nor does it fix the problems that it claims to. I have PCOS and was put on the Pill when I was 16 to “help” the problem. Later I found out it only stalled the problem. After I had my son, I found out I had systemic candida and had probably had it for years. Systemic candida can cause PCOS. The Pill can help candida thrive in the body. Go figure.
As someone who has been charting for years, that doesn’t work as birth control either.
I think the “natural food” stuff is BS — buncha wacko granola—crunching sandal-wearing hippies ... we like our chicken hormone-laced and extra juicy.
But, the wife is on the pill — so we are consistently anti-natural (with the exception of breasts — in which case, I am extremely pro-natural. Haha.).

After marriage, knee-related birth-control is a tough sell.

Don’t tell them that... people who like NFP don’t believe those of us who tell them that having PCOS makes charting pretty much impossible. *rolls eyes* or at least mostly impossible. Last time I tried charting, if I’d been trying to avoid pregnancy my hubby and I would have had about five days of “safe” time that cycle.
My standard response to a living-natural-libtard (honed from years of living in Berkeley) is as follows:
Man, that is so-o-o-o cool! Pause. Do you have any idea how many nasty chemicals are in pot?
BTW, I grew up living “natural”. Only now days you’d call it “poverty”.
If the sin is thwarting God’s Will in terms of procreation, how is “natural” planning any better than “artificial” means? Aren’t you cheating God either way?
When my mother was born in 1919, the last of 9 kids, her mother’s birth control method was sharing her bed with my mother instead of my grandfather.
This may explain it better than I ever could:

But in general you are correct. "Natural" or "Organic" is mostly bunk with the following exceptions.
Chicken- Free range tend to used their muscles more and the meat gains in flavor. They also are older when harvested that also adds to the flavor.
Strawberries- Different breed then what is normally in the store. They do not ship or store well but taste wonderful.
Tomato- Once again a different breed that does not travel or store well.
Everything else pretty much tastes the same no matter if it is organic.
Great post!

Holy moly. 9 kids, and not getting any. Not sure how he did it ... I’d be a wreck.

Excuse me but that sounds like a rationalization to me.
