ABSTRACT: A policy of either pre-prescribing emergency contraceptives to adolescent patients, or making them available without prescription, carries significant medical risk and is counterproductive to the parent-adolescent and patient-physician relationships. The American College of Pediatricians recommends instead that health professionals encourage good adolescent-parental communication, and teach adolescent patients the benefits of delaying sexual activity until marriage and how to avoid early sexual debut.
1. The practical effect of availability of EC without restrictions is harmful to adolescents. In England and Wales, rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among teens increased at a faster rate in those areas with free EC for adolescents compared to areas without these pharmacy schemes. In addition, not only was there no decrease in the incidence of teen pregnancies as a result, but the trend was toward an increased rate of teen pregnancies.2 As the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) states, no studies have demonstrated that improved access to emergency contraception reduces the pregnancy rate in a population.3,4

Infertility? How about cancer?
In 20 years, when they are dying of cancer, they will look back and wonder whose idea this was.
So I donn’t want to hear anymore “exceptions for rape” arguements. If a rape vistim doesn’t take care of the ‘problem,’ it wasn’t rape.
They are working to make that middle school these days
The Breast Cancer Prevention Institute has this brochure:

These are Medical Doctors that run this Breast Cancer Prevention Program.
If you want to donate to a cause to prevent Breast Cancer, these are the folks to give to in lieu of Koman (spelling?)
This is meant to justify little girls having sex at 13, 12, 11, 10, 9, 8, etc.
Some male US Democratic Senators want this to happen...
[and Democratic Presidents and ex-presidents...]
The Breast Cancer Prevention Institute
Main Webpage: http://www.bcpinstitute.org/home.htm
Basically, this group is composed of doctors (mostly MD's, but they have a key PhD in a special field of Biology related to Breast Cancer).
They have the best technical info on breast cancer, in my opinion. They are the people to give money to, not Susan Komen!
Please Promote this group as alternative to Komen non-sense!!!
Apologies for the one-time ping...
But the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute is an important group fighting cancer [that Christians and ethical doctors/people can support.
Angela Lanfranchi, M.D., F.A.C.S., President/Treasurer
Board of Directors:
Joel Brind is a PhD in Endocrine Biology -- an important field in the study of cancer and in particular breast cancer (not too many with his degree)...
Mary L. Davenport, M.D., F.A.C.O.G., Secretary
Joel Brind, Ph.D.
John T. Bruchalski, M.D.
Jo Ann Gerling, R.L.C., I.B.C.L.C.
Jeanette R. Joyce, B.F.A., R.T.(R)(M)
Peter Mazolewski, M.D., F.A.C.S.
William L. Toffler, M.D.
I believe Jo Ann Gerling and Jeannette R. Joyce specialize in areas that are nursing related, but I don't recognize their titles...
Jo Ann Gerling is registered as a lactation consultant. She has an International Certification in this area.
Jeannette R. Joyce owns her own radiology company. Her expertise is in Radiology/Mammography...
One good group that tells people that Contraception causes Breast Cancer is:
Breast Cancer Prevention Institute -- http://www.bcpinstitute.org
Please promote this group over Susan Komen!!!
There are other replies about the Breast Cancer Prevention Institute in this thread since:
1. They are made up of doctors (medical and PhD's in Biology) and specialists2. It is related to contraception and the harmful effects of contraception.
See Replies 27, 28, and 29 in this thread...
“Contraception causes Breast Cancer is . . ...:”
Fairly well known/documented that abortion of a fetus, particularly of first pregnancy, can induce breast cancer because it interrupts a sensitive breast tissue physiological maturation process that prepares the mammary gland for its vital milk production function.
The Breast Cancer Prevention Institute has on their webpage on studies oninduced abortion causing breast cancer [versus miscarriage spontaneous abortion]:
http://bcpinstitute.org/FactSheets/BCPI-FactSheet-Epidemiol-studies.pdf
There are 70 total studies done: 55 showed that induced abortion caused breast cancer.
They also state that in their breast cancer prevention pamphlet:
On page 10 of their booklet Breast Cancer Risks and Prevention, they talk about how induced abortion causes breast cancer. They state that spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) is not a factor.
Webpage to this booklet is:
I have not been doing any reading recently on this matter of an abortion/breast cancer connection. When last I was paying attention, I read it that an induced abortion of a first pregnancy was shown to increase susceptibility to breast cancer but a direct cause/effect relationship was not proven. A tenuous distinction, admittedly, probably based on readings of statistical tea leaves..
I think even if you have a genetic disposition to breast cancer, one may not have this cancer develop.
What does cause it is immature LOBE cells.
Mature LOBE cells apparently are not a cause.
However, there are things that will increase a person's chance of having breast cancer.
