A very good discussion of the differences between church approved NFP and artificial birth control.

A very honest look at some of the problems with using NFP. Mr. Pete and I took NFP and I think it's good to know and understand your fertility - but after Sam was born, we pretty much just did without using anything - which was very freeing.

Well said!
Still, upon reflection, I came to understand that we are NFP poster children. Only if the goal is to have no children, are we not. The fact that we have nine is more a tribute to my stellar book keeping skills and our great love, than the efficiency or effectiveness of NFP. If you succeed in keeping your family small using this method, it is because you have practiced the virtues of obedience and patience and sacrifice --all beautiful virtues which God loves. You have followed God's plan. If you sometimes ignore, forget, or willfully chose to ignore the times when one must abstain to avoid conception, you have abandoned yourself to life, to love, to a future of hope, and allowed yourself to be used in the great first gift of creation, also virtues that God loves. Either way, NFP places you firmly on the path to God.

Turns out, Monty Python got it right - every sperm is sacred and why not?

Danielle Bean writes an excellent article on what it means to be open to new life, even if life right now isn't perfect! She also brings up a good point about what a humbling experience it is to need assistance. I don't think many people understand that the trade off for any type of any type of assistance is a loss of privacy, particularly financial privacy.
It is not selfish for a poor mother of many to remain open to life. It’s heroic.
A woman who places her trust in God and accepts new life under less than ideal circumstances is being as generous to God, to her family, and to her community as she possibly can be.
Only someone who has never needed financial help could possibly think that anyone takes government assistance because it’s fun or because they’re lazy. People take government assistance because, for whatever reason, THEY NEED IT. They would LOVE to not need it. It’s embarrassing and humbling. It’s not selfish.
I am convinced that women who accept new life when God sends it, planned or unplanned, have a special place in Our Lord’s heart. It is anything but selfish to imitate Mary’s “fiat” and her simple trust in God in such a humbling, self-giving way. It’s the stuff that saints are made of.
But to begrudge people the help they need to provide for their families while you yourself have been blessed with plenty? Now that would be selfish.

An ardent quiverfuller becomes a birth control advocate. Some Catholic commenters have put in their 2cents for the middle ground.
