Natural Family Planning and Population Control

Thanks for printing Elaine Stansfield’s letter about our country’s shortsighted new policy regarding birth control. We need such news, but it won’t do much good. Democrat or Republican at the bedside, the patient will die. The problem goes deeper than a mere sacrifice of rationality to get votes; it goes all the way down to our reluctance to give up our ancient dependence on gods and to start acting as though our last name, sapiens, were more than a vain affectation.
