IUD and ethical boundaries Posted: 02-13-08 20:56pm
I just read this and have an IUD. I am
prolife for myself but don't engage in
debates. I have an IUD and and am having
major MAJOR cramping. Yes, pregnancy is
possible and this was put in about 4
months ago. We rarely have sex and the
timing of "possible implanation" would be
about at this time. Stupid me...I never
thought about the ethical considerations
before the IUD. Ethical considerations
concerning myself as others may not have
the same conviction and that is fine.
This is what I read that hit me.
It is possible that you may not have been
aware that any ethical questions existed
concerning contraception. The
contraceptive methods that involve the
changing of the lining of the uterus to
prevent implantation from occurring create
an ethical or moral consideration for some
people.
Some people believe that life begins at
conception whereas others believe it
begins at implantation. The ethical
consideration develops for individuals who
believe that life begins at conception.
When contraceptive methods fail to prevent
ovulation or fertilization, the changing
of the uterine lining is used to prevent
the fertilized egg or “life” from
implanting in the uterine wall. It is
this action that leaves people believing
they have crossed an ethical boundary.
OK..I do believe life begins at
conception. Truly do. So, if I have this
IUD in, I may be having spontaneous
abortions every month, correct?? If this
is so, I am taking this thing out and
getting on the pill. I am so mad at myself
for not really looking into this. It's
interesting because I am not against IUD's
for other people as long as they are
ethically fine with it. A large percentage
of my friends have them and that's fine.
For me, however, I think it does cross the
ethical boundary. This cramping is
horrible.
Perhaps it's nothing but gas....It really
feels like a different type cramping,
though
What do you all think regarding this?

What kind is your IUD? As the IUD's
nowadays come with hormones that act like
the pill. The ones that hasn't yes that I
too would have a problem with because like
you say it's like if you are aborting
often.

I'm really not sure. I don't know much
about IUD. I'm sorry I'm not much help!
But I can understand where you are coming
from. I think I would have a hard time
with that as well.

Breast feeding causes the exact same
problem with the uterine lining, it is
called Luteal Phase Defect. So if you are
having sex while you are breast feeding
(not simultaneously, lol!), then you are
aborting over and over again.
Also, just be having procreative sex you
are causing "abortions". 9 out of 10
fertilized eggs die before they progress
far enough to be born. Most of these pass
in menstruation and are never noticed by
the woman. They are there none the less.
