I found an interesting 2004 article regarding contraception in Japan. Japan legalized the Pill in 1999 but most women favor condoms. Medical officials are concerned that increased Pill use will lead to more sexually transmitted diseases.

Funny how my rebuttle disapeared.11 year learning curve against an ignorant newbie where I rebuked most of the talking points..

Don’t break your arm patting yourself on the back.
I could have had a lot of good looking young women in bed as a handsome, sportcar driving, twentysomething in the 70’s (my wife’s opinion: picture a younger version of Clint Eastwood).
I was taught to respect women by my own mother. I had no desire to break a girl’s heart. If a chick I was dating was ‘eager’, I had to put up ‘a wall’, evaluate the situation: Could I trust this woman for the rest of my life?
Several prospects quickly moved on when they found I was saving myself for the right girl.
I was blessed to meet a knockout that had the same principles. The wait was incredibly worth it. We have no regrets, no anxieties, no health complications, and at 53 she still has the same knockout figure (she never has/never will use the pill). We are blessed with two healthy sons, that were just great to have around the house. It’s called giving life. There is nothing more rewarding.
The Irish "troubles" are not about birth control. Really, that's not one of the major issues involved.
Besides, those Irish Protestants all agreed with the Catholic Church on birth control prior to the Anglican Lambeth Conference of 1930 ... as did the Reformers themselves. If we're "tyrants" for believing and preaching the same thing we (and they) did 80 years ago, that's a kind of "tyranny" conservatives ought to understand, if not support outright. Somebody needs to hold the line.
Finally, I'll remind you that this is a pro-life website (according to its founder) and the SCOTUS itself has said in the Casey decision that birth control implies the availability of abortion as a backstop.
Lucky guy.. ;+)
You are a moral relativist. And the Pill is not a “non-abortion” form of birth control. I do not have to tolerate that which is immoral.
If you start with the idea that children are a bad thing, it’s all downhill from there.
The scientifific basis for this is the fact for the artificial steroid to not be immediately broken down by the liver, it must fool> the liver.
As a result, it is tougher to be broken down by the liver.
Artificial steroids are described by some as toxic to the liver.
There are reports of liver adenomas and even cancer from the pill, but I’ve never seen one from the pill in 40 years of medicine. There are lots of other causes (hepatitis B, aflotoxins from fungi, from cirrhosis, and most cancers of the liver are metastatic).
I was just pointing out that women use the pill because they think the alternative is worse.
Now, if men could agree to use Natural Family planning, women wouldn’t have to make this type of choice.
I’ve also wondered if there is a connection between birth control pills and the radical increase in the number of children with autism.
The current high rate would seem consistent with chromosomal damage that is genetically passed as a recessive trait that would not show up in great numbers until the second generation after damage. That would fit with the 50 year timeline quite well.
Yes there is a book that shows the connection between breast cancer and birth control pills.
