No such thing as a "risk free" contraception

It never ceases to amaze me the lengths to which people traverse to justify the use of birth control. In a recent article about the patch contraceptive Ortho-Evra, a groups asks that the product be removed from shelves, citing recent research that shows high levels of risk for users:
But Wolfe argued that the patch offers no better contraception in return for the extra risk. And he said lawsuits by women who claim they were harmed by the patch have unearthed two previously unpublished studies from Johnson & Johnson researchers that found higher estrogen exposure from the patch even before it won FDA approval in 2001.

It boggles my mind how people can overlook the natural, wholesome, healthy, and relationship-building approach to the spacing of children: Natural Family Planning.

Of course NFP requires a completely different mindset with regards to children, sex, and families.
