The pill is fine to use for long periods of time and if you aren't looking to get pregnant then the best thing really would be to stay on the pill. The dosages are so low nowadays that they really are one of the best forms of birth control

True, or unless you may consider an abortion..

Natural methods just are not as effective as hormonal and other types of birth control.

Abortion should never be used as a form of birth control.
If you don't want to get pregnant - you use protection - you do not just shrug it off and say "oh well I can have an abortion".

I was not implying that at all.. I used fertility awareness method between my two iud's, I became pregnant on one and needed to wait a few months to have another inserted.

I am allergic to latex, so I used spermicide sponges, but if I became pregnant again I would have had an abortion.That is what I mean.
