The only 100% effective birth control is abstinence

February 5, 2005 By

Two of my friends got pregnant while on the pill. This lady in the UK did, too, and now she is pregnant with quadruplets and she seems sensible of the blessing. If God wants to bless you with children, He’s gonna bless you with children, no matter what birth control you’re using. You can accept [...]
