Birth Control for Medical reasons

[Judie Brown]

You are absolutely correct. In fact I was told by a close friend of Pope Paul Vi's that if he had understood the actual mechanism of the birth control pill, section 15 of Humanae Vitae would have been extremely explicit. So, while we know that the pill is simply not good for women and that it is not the asnwer to female problems, we also know that if a female is using it for "medical reasons" she may not engage in marital relations because of the possibility of aborting a child.

Thanks.
