Contraception is often hailed as one of the most significant advances of the modern age because it gives women control over their reproduction. However, there's another path that could have been taken.
No one, except the Catholics, talk about NFP, which is another innovation of modern technology that gives us control over reproduction. Unlike the pill, it doesn't crush the woman's natural cycle.
We still have no idea all the negative health consequences downstream of hormonal contraception, and there's barely a control group, so it would be difficult to find out even if we wanted to.
