The researchers found that the offspring of the fish exposed to the chemical, known to be an endocrine disruptor, had a reduced level of fertility.
The second and third generations of the fish had as much as a 30 percent decrease in their reproductive abilities.
And still people believe that the Pill is safe for humans.

It’s not just birth control. It’s hormone replacement therapy. Probably 90% of woman over 50 in my county are on them and probably 80% of women between 16 and 40 are on birth control. Lots of hormones.

Hallelujah! I look for the DemocRAT Party, the Hollyweird Left and the Men Seeking Men media to "evolve" and become pro-life.

I find it more than ironic that those Libs/Progs/Leftists who think birth control should be paid for by the taxpayers & every female should have it or be on it from cradle to grave, are also pretty much the same people that are Envirowhackos who have done things like shut down California’s water supply for the benefit of a fish. By this reasoning, birth control should be banned to save the fish .... Sierra Club et al, where are you on this one????? /major sarcasm

Writing in Forbes magazine in 2012, British economist Tim Worstall suggested that the government should tax birth control pills to pay for the costs of upgrading and operating sewage treatment facilities to remove the polluting hormones. Using the "standard logic that the polluter should pay," Worstall said that just as "BP has to pay to clean up the waters of the Gulf after Macondo
women who take the contraceptive pill should pay £1,000 ($1,500 U.S.) a year more in tax. It is women taking the contraceptive pill who are causing this pollution...This really is pollution and yes, we do have this general assumption that the polluter should pay for having polluted." Worstall posited that, "We cannot charge BP for killing fishies through pollution if we dont also charge others who kill fishies through pollution, can we?" "The pill pollutes; thus, those who use the pill should pay the costs of their pollution," Worstall concluded. LOL! I only half-expected this to be a Catholic / LifeSiteNews thread when I saw the headline.

Our water problems are solved! We've been letting water dump into the ocean in order to preserve some little minnow. Now we know the little buggers' lives are not threatened by salmon fishers but by the Sandra Flukes of the world.
And, as luck would have it, there's going to be a huge rally in Sackatomatoes today to encourage legislators to fast track water storage projects.
It's a win-win. Babies lives are saved. Minnows lives are saved. Now that's what I call bi-partisanship.

Won't Someone PLEASE Think of the Delta Smelt!?!! Here's one....
The problem is they only found ONE in the latest survey ....
actually the one shown died...
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) California's drought appears to be taking a toll on a threatened fish species.
State officials found one delta smelt during a survey earlier this month of 40 sites in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta,
The Record of Stockton reported over the weekend (http://bit.ly/1OuAnhi). The survey by the state Department of Fish and Wildlife typically turns up dozens of smelt, and found 143 three years ago. It was conducted over four days

And still people believe that the Pill is safe for humans. Western civilization is in the process of committing suicide. Our leaders are hell-bent on that. This issue with the fish will become a non-problem once civilizations falls.

Well, on the bright side, maybe it’ll stop the asian carp invasion.

Add to this the countless other drugs passing through our bodies into the water supply.
I have customers tell me they couldn’t bear to drink well water, reservoir water is the only way to go because it’s “safer” to drink.
LOL
I ask them, during a dry spell, where do they think the majority of “makeup” water comes from that’s flowing into the reservoirs?
That’s right, sewage plants.

Sex reversal is caused by hormones?
No, that can’t be. Sex reversal is a totally natural occurrence, and something that should be celebrated. /s

How many women these days are very careful to eat “organic” and/or are vegan or vegetarian, and careful about every bite they eat being “clean”, yet take birth-control pills to alter the normal & healthy functioning of their bodies

Mandrake, have you never wondered why I drink only distilled water, or rainwater, and only pure-grain alcohol?
