We frequently receive questions regarding the morality of birth control inside of marriage. Here are some other articles to read for more information and further clarification.
- Jason Evert's explanation for teens
- Jason Evert: What's the difference between contraception and Natural Family Planning? and here
- Contraception vs. Natural Family Planning videos (these are short and pretty funny but explain differences well)
- A doctor's explanation
- "What a woman should know about birth control"
- Benefits of Natural Family Planning
- Great explanation of Natural Family Planning vs. contraception from Christopher West
- A bishop's explanation
- Listen to the podcasts called, "Love is fruitful."
- Pope Paul VI's encyclical, "Humanae Vitae"
There's plenty more out there, but this is a good list for those who may be looking for further clarification of what we have discussed in our high school presentations. Also, I came across this analogy from Mary Healy, which may be helpful: "In the language of the body, the difference between NFP and contraception is the difference between refraining from speech for a time and lying."

I would like to suggest that you make a link to our website below. We are trying to make it the "go-to" site for instruction and information relevant to Humanae Vitae and natural family planning.
With regard to the truth or lying issue, Paul VI wrote in Humanae Vitae that contraception is "intrinsically dishonest" (n.14).
