- Suzzanne,
-
- I have gotten the impression (please correct me if I am mistaken) that you
- have opposed other forms of birth control besides NFP. If the purpose of NFP
- is to allow sex without conception, then *what* is the difference that makes
- you opposed to other methods (abortion notwithstanding) of birth control? What,
- really, is the difference between preventing conception via brilliant timing
- and doing the same via a small piece of latex/rubber? Morally, not physically,
- since the latter should be obvious. :-)
-
- Yeah, I'm still here, just very busy. My boss actually expects me to work
- for my net.access!
