Letter: Responsibility is the key

Well, way back in the “olden days” for contraception there was the rhythm method, which most women under a certain age have never heard of. There was also abstinence, the very dangerous coil and the pill.

Now I hear women saying not to tell them what to do. It’s their body! Yes, it is their body, but what’s wrong about being responsible with birth control? If you hate babies so much, then stop having intercourse or be responsible men and women.

I am not addressing rape or incest. I have my own personal feelings about that and I am comfortable with my decision concerning that very cruel and horrible crime. People, check the drugstore aisles, the internet and with a doctor. There are many contraception methods out there. Responsibility is the key word.
