Natural Family Planning:: Trojan Horse in the Catholic

Natural Family Planning:: Trojan Horse in the Catholic Bedroom?

Whatâ€™s wrong with Natural Family Planning? Taking a Catholic perspective on the subject, Dr. Jay Boyd explains that the use of NFP to avoid pregnancy is often promoted as â€œGodâ€™s family planningâ€. But is using NFP to prevent pregnancy really trusting God? If we take control of spacing births, how can be sure this is â€œGodâ€™s planâ€, and that the children came â€œin Godâ€™s timeâ€? And most people fail to â€œread the fine printâ€ that says that NFP is to be used only when a couple has serious reasons for avoiding pregnancy. The reason many people think of NFP as â€œCatholic birth controlâ€ is because thatâ€™s how it is used by many well-meaning couples. Claiming that a couple using NFP is â€œopen to lifeâ€ while they abstain from sex during the womanâ€™s fertile period in order to intentionally avoid pregnancy â€“ wellâ€¦thatâ€™s a contradiction in terms. It can easily be argued that using NFP to avoid pregnancy is an expression of a lack of trust in Godâ€™s will and provision. Itâ€™s an active effort on the part of the couple to second-guess Godâ€™s timing for the familyâ€™s new members. Dr. Boyd takes a close, objective look at NFP from the standpoint of the teaching of the Catholic Church. She examines the basic problems with NFP, along with its philosophical underpinnings; and she delves into the important concepts of marital chastity and trust in Divine Providence.
