Though it's not a very good way of monitoring fertility. There are other much more accurate ways of doing so.
Um, if the method of creating life is sacred, why would rhythm be any better than premature withdrawal, both of which are designed to inhibit pregnancy without unnatural means, when neither of which is very successful? (And why isn't rhythm spelt rithem?--- a dyslexic. No CL I don't expect you to answer this last bit, there are entomological reasons, but still. . . )
It's not avoiding pregnancy in and of itself that we consider immoral. It's changing the sex act in such a way as to render it infertile. Avoiding sex on your fertile days does not do anything to the sex itself. Sex simply just doesn't happen on those days.
I agree, the rhythm method is not very successful. Other fertility monitoring methods work much more accurately.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
