This post actually directly relates to your Counter –Contraception post below. One of the heights of Irony is that when the pill first became available the cultural left pooh-poohed religious attempts at promoting non-artificial means of birth control. As the pill became more in wide spread use, the age of marriage and the birth of the first child has been steadily moving upwards (especially in the upper classes).

One of the results of this is that couples now regularly speak of “trying� to have children. It seems as you get older a women’s fertility declines, at points dramatically, and getting pregnant can be quite tedious if not impossible.

Well…Now for the (Bona Fide) Irony! Years of using artificial birth-control to NOT have children, the very same women are using the very same methods recommended by Religious authorities as a means of natural family planning. Instead of using them Not to have children, they are employing them as a desperate means of attempting to have children.

Of coarse this all culminated publicly In 200 when the American Society of Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) launched an advertising campaign intended to make women aware of factors that affect their fertility, such as age and the like. It seems doctors had grown frustrated by women who, after year of being prescribed birth control, suddenly found themselves later in life unable to become pregnant Of coarse this inspired feminists’ efforts to keep women from knowing the fact; NOW were outraged and successfully quashed the public service announcements.
The device you point out in your post is intended to monitor women’s temperature & therefore fertility. One could use it to either avoid sex during peek ovulation, or engage in sex during peek ovulation. Either way, it good to know that women at least have other means of controlling their children’s births- even as they are being kept ignorant of their elemental biology

Right, Fitz, feminists are keeping women ignorant of their elemental biology. Because we don't work together publishing encyclopedic tomes such as "Our Bodies, Ourselves" that comprehensively treat with our biology, which we don't seem to think is located solely in our groins. Nor do we advocate for comprehensive sexual education in schools, inflating statistics from non-reputable, church backed studies to frighten the young out of having sex, and lying about the function of medicines. We don't campaign for the dissemination of women's health information such as breast exams, and the 70s never saw us getting together to learn gynecological self-care.

In reality, there are segments of the great feminist pie that focus on natural family planning, just not from a religious perspective, same women that like to study other holistic medical information. There are books published by women's health co-ops on this subject that go a wee bit farther than your Catholic "abstain at day 'x'" primer on NFP, including such advances of science as recognizing that body temperature correlates to hormonal changes. Where do you think this information came from? Do you think Jesuits taught to oppose anything but bungling marital sex leading to more Christian babies or celibacy were the ones pioneering this information?

The objection to these ads had nothing to do with the information they relayed and everything to do with various efforts to instill panic in women that they wouldn't be able to have children if they wanted to. Doctors have agendas, too.

I don’t know were Jesuits are taught anything “bungling�, they are as privy on the latest science as anyone else who chooses to be. I also can’t figure out how you conflate scientific advancements in understanding human fertility with feminism. As far as who is “pioneering information�, I can assure you the Jesuits are quite famous in the annals of pioneering science. I can also assure you that natural family planning incorporates the latest scientific information to aid couples in non-artificial birth control techniques. (including devices like the one described in the post) I can only assume they do a better job of disseminating such knowledge then “feminist co-opts�.

“The objection to these ads had nothing to do with the information they relayed and everything to do with various efforts to instill panic in women that they wouldn't be able to have children if they wanted to. Doctors have agendas, too.�

I’m glad you didn’t dispute the central tenet concerning ASRM efforts and NOW & Gandy’s response. I am curious to know what “various efforts to instill panic� you are referring to: most women I know are not hot house flowers, easily susceptible to bouts of “panic� over a public information campaign. The extent of the effort seemed to be billboards and the like displaying baby bottles in the shape of hour glasses with a reminder to ask your doctor about fertility.
You seem to equate this panic instilling effort with a unstated agenda of Doctors? If you know something I’m unaware of, I would love to know? (Fascinating!)

Won't someone think of the poor husband? Suddenly he's turned into Pavlov's dog...years later he'll be telling friends, "Yeah, and every time I hear 'Thriller' I spontaneously ejaculate."
