Bay Area NFP

natural family planning (nfp) is not contraception. nfp gives a married couple a way to space out childbirths and limit the total number of children. but it does not give the couple complete control over procreation. even when the couple prayerfully decides to limit their family size, or to wait before having another child, nfp is open to the possibility of life and to the will of god. nfp is used in a moral and praiseworthy manner when the couple, though making responsible decisions about family size, are still willing to accept an unplanned child from god’s providence.
