Rebecca The Billings Method is a modern technique where women learn how to understand their cycle so as to know when to avoid sex in order to avoid pregnancy. It is not, as this article says, very unreliable. As a method of contraception is has been proven to be more than 99% percent reliable. It may involve a little extra time and committment than taking the pill, or having an intrauterine device inserted but it is the only method which does not tamper with the body or have possible side effects attached. 2/1/2009

JaNece Nelson Females of all ages look at birth control as a way out. In all actualliaty they should be focusing on the side effects it has on their body. Often the usage of birth control is determimned by asking the question, do I want a child right now? While that is a good question, it is not the only one that should be asked or answered. 1/29/2008
