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?
