Found a great article on Contraceptives

It's really long and it gets boring at times, but it makes tons of good points.
I would recommend at least skimming through it. If someone reads this I think they would have a great possibility of accepting this teaching of the Church as long as they have an open heart.

The Harms of Artificial Contraceptives

The Pill
- If a woman conceives she will often have an early miscarriage due to her uterus lining being changed.
-For every year that a woman is on 'the pill' she will have 1 very early miscarriage
-Increased risk of breast, liver, and cervical cancer, heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, blood clots, depression, weight gain, migraines, dark spots on the skin and difficulty with breast-feeding.
-Costs $200 for every year of use

Depo-provera and Norplant
-Changes lining of uterus, thus it can cause early abortions when conception does occur
-Woman using it will likely have more than one very early miscarriage per year
-For Depo-Provera: Increased risk of breast cancer, may reduce a woman’s bone density, and may worsen a woman’s cholesterol level
-50,000 woman have participated in lawsuits alleging irregular bleeding, scarring, painful muscles, and headaches.
