Guest guest Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Dear all, I'm starting to write to those who write particularly helpful or very destructive editorials to thank them/protest and give them facts and some personal testimony. What do you think? Jean Re: need a letter writing campaign Hanna, This is helpful. I would appreciate if you or D. would expound on n. 1. Les has already made a comment on this, and the lack of trials to prove the claim that they work. I need to go back to it. I tried to find your show on Tomeo's web archive, but am having some computer trouble. God bless you, Fr. After reading multiple letters to the editor praising, protecting or mischaracterizing contraception, I think it’s time to take a leaf out of the play book Planned Parenthood used so successfully against Komen. While not losing sight of the violation of religious liberty the mandate imposes, much light needs to be shed on the fact that hormonal contraceptives 1. when used for contraception do not treat any disease. 2 need to be given in doses large enough to suppress normal ovulation 3. have a long list of side effects 4. do not prevent STI’s etc. etc. 5.Explain not only the effectiveness and flexibility of use of NFP in any reproductive circumstance, but how refraining from intercourse is different from engaging in it while blocking its normal effect. 6. Explain that intercourse during times of infertility is not incomplete, as each partner brings what each has to give. 7. Discuss the difference between removing a normal function and restoring a normal function. Right now there are arguments equating OC’ with Rx for E.D. While on the face of it they’re opposites one can question the appropriateness of trying to bring back youth when it’s gone… 8. Invite promiscuity and subsequent emotional pain 9.Have not decreased unplanned pregnancies or abortions. (See Ross Douthat in Feb. 19, New York Times The Safe, Legal and Rare Iillusion http://www.nytimes.com/2012/02/19/opinion/sunday/douthat-the-safe-legal-rare-ill\ usion.html?nl=todaysheadlines & emc=tha212 10. acknowledge possible benefits i.e. decreased endometrial and ovarian CA, but outnumbered by increase in breast CA, also Cx CA mediated by promiscuously acquired HPV by one or another partner. I’ll be interested in your responses.
