maleficent

Christian or Catholic? Catholics have a pretty staunch anti-birth control stance, as well as a staunch anti-pre-marital sex stance. Sex, technically, is for procreation purposes only (I'm catholic, we're not into bible reading, couldn't tell you where in the bible it is, it's just ingrained in Catechism that we've been taught.

Trying to change someone's core belief is wrong, you either accept it, or move on from her. If she wants to change, it's got to be her idea. Birth control does have other benefits other than pregnany prevention, including lowering the risk of ovarian cancer - however, since your sole intent seems to be to get her on the pill so she won't get pregnant, they'd be a bit of a lie to tell her.

there are books and internet sites on the rhythym method or natural family planning, if done correctly, it can prevent pregnancy -- but it's also got risks.
