Hoist by your own petard much?

Oh, the irony.

A British study suggests the Roman Catholic Church-approved "rhythm method" may kill more embryos than other methods of contraception.

I thought the comments were interesting. One guy might have made a good point if he hadn't confused a viable embryo with an unfertilized egg. :P

True that. And he seems to believe that human egg cells aren't, well, human. XD

There's a mini-kerfluffle over at fanficrants over the effectiveness of the rhythm method. Maybe I should wade in and lob this particular grenade? >:D

Go for it. What else does science exist for but to make arguments more interesting?

just flipping back through your lj to breathless, and saw this, read the article, and was *vastly* relieved to see you throw the actual mechanism for oral contraceptives in there. thank you thank you.

With people like the previous posters all over the place, no wonder we keep breeding the stupid people.

the ones on the article, not here in lj-land! (just had to clarify)

Now now, you can't blame them for all their stupidity. Abstinence-only sex ed probably had something to do with it too. Add to that the fact that I may have been the only woman commenting, and that makes up for at least a bit of the woeful stupidity and lack of knowledge of how basic reproduction works.

They're still dumbasses and a shocking shame to see on a website devoted to scientific news, but it's slightly less brain-hurty if you remind yourself of the outside factors.

Also, if you'd rather not go flipping through my journal looking for my fic, it's all saved in my memories. ^_^
