Right. So in the past months lots has happened. We got engaged. His mom died. And we got married. Also, I found a new job. It's part time, doing the same thing I did before I started college. Not sure how I feel about that... but at least all of my coworkers are lovely (personality wise).
On to my rant. I don't like how Christians just believe what they are told about birth control. I'm not one to point the finger, because I did the exact same thing. But when I was looking up facts on the stuff, I found that it isn't actually all that terrible. People assume you lose a lot of fertilized eggs, but the reality is that you lose more if you use some other method, for example the rhythm method. (That sounds dirtier than it actually is--- it means you keep track of your cycle, what days you're fertile, etc.) Christians (again, myself included) assume that taking the morning after pill will induce abortion. Not so. The only reason people believe this is because at one time that was one of the theories about how this medicine worked. So they put it on the label. Now they are discovering that what the pill actually does is delay ovulation. If the egg got fertilized before this takes place... chances are you are still going to get pregnant.
And here is a Christian article that deals with the issue of birth control and whether or not one of the fail safes is aborting an embryo. It is long, but they conclude: "We do not find substantive evidence that hormone contraceptives include an abortifacient mechanism of action."
Anyway. I just had yogurt and croutons for lunch. It might wise to eat something else. Lunch-meat anyone?
