Some couple practice natural family planning (also known as the rhythm method of birth control), which involves abstaining from sexual intercourse during the time that a woman can become pregnant in her menstrual cycle. The egg only survives in the fallopian tube from 24 hours after ovulation, so conception can only happen during a 24-hour period each month. However, this form of contraceptive is very unreliable and is not recommended for couples who are actively trying to avoid pregnancy.
Which of the following is NOT a reason why this form of birth control is unreliable?
A. Sperm can survive in the fallopian tubes for 3 to 5 days.
B. Ovulation can be affected by stress or illness.
C. Women always ovulate on the same day of their menstrual cycle every month.
D. It is difficult to predict exactly when in her cycle a woman ovulates.
Why do you think that birth control law was enacted? What harm do you think it caused? When was that law overturned (and if you found U.S. states that have not overturned such a law)? And what were the reasons for the removal of that birth control law ?
What’s a good solution or helping that could help birth control?
