There was a medical study in the past few years which theorized long term use of hormonal birth control immunizes the body against pregnancy. Even though a woman may stop using in order to get pregnant, the body has been trained not to get pregnant.
A plausible theory IMO.
No question about it - put a chemical in your body for 25 years to thwart a natural biological function which is dong what is supposed to be doing i.e making babies for the purpose of rendering it impotent and it is going to effect you spiritually, physically and emotionally. It is not healthy or normal. But the pharmaceutical companies love it because it makes them rich at the expense of women and there families. Some of these so called birth control methods have actually led to some womens deaths as well as the deaths of their babies. This is what the IUD can do, RU486 and the regular birth control pill.
