This discussion is pathetic -- a whole lot of men talking to each other about the rightness or wrongness of birth control. Very few women's voices. especially by those who have given birth (especially those who have given birth more than once, or who have had multiple miscarriages or babies with serious problems.) You are all living in a fantasy world. Sexual intercourse by heterosexual married partners (i.e. husband and wife) is for two purposes: 1) to increase marital "bonding", and 2) to replace yourselves biologically (i.e. try to have at least 2 children). Some wish to have more than 2 children -- let them go ahead and have those children -- my husband and I did! But for those who do not feel up to birthing and raising 2 or more children, let them use any form of birth control they desire. The important goal is to raise a happy family while keeping your mind, body and spirit alive and well.
