Question
Hi there all you wonderful experts. This is the very first time I've taken the time to go to this "Ask the Experts" Wow!! What a wonderful service!!
My question: A very good pro-life friend of mine (who has 9 beautiful children )states her son-in-law ,a physician,(who is prolife and won't do abortions or birth control pill prescriptions)works w/ other ob/gyns and THEY ask him ,when they are not in the office, to do some proceedures---like work w/ sperm cells to keep them alive for invitro-fertilization later). He rightfully feels uncomfortable doing this(his well-formed conscience!) I suggested the book, Physicians Healed, edited by Cleta Hartman from One More Soul.
Do you know where this physician can get in touch w/ any of these doctors? If they have accessible emails, to encourage this young doctor?? Thank you sooo much. I teach N.F.P. and would like to know the answer myself.

Answer
Dear Leslie,
I am happy you discovered our Ask the Experts section! It is indeed an amazing database of information, that is an excellent resource of information for many of our questions, as teachers, physicians, or just people concerned about their procreative health! Our experts have been most generous in sharing their wisdom, knowledge, and experience!
We also have a Directory on our site of NFP Professionals in California, including physicians. This would be a resource for your physician friend. In fact, if he is a California phsyician, invite him to become a member of CANFP and be listed as well! The Directory is online at www.canfp.org and also available in hard copy, which can be ordered by contacting the CANFP office at 1-877-33-CANFP.
For a list of national physicians who would be a good source of information and support, One More Soul puts out a Directory of Pro-Life Physicians. This can be found online at their site at www.omsoul.com
Hope that helps, and thanks for contacting Ask the Experts at the California Association of Natural Family Planning!
