I did think about posting under CATHOLIC CAUCUS.

However, there is the important point that ORAL CONTRACEPTIVES are pointed out to be CLASS 1 CARCINOGENS.

There is some very interesting information in the article.

From the article:

The Mayo Clinic Proceedings in 2006 published a meta-analysis of 23 studies done in several countries about breast cancer risk and usage of oral contraceptives. Dr Chris Kahlenborn, one of the principal authors, stated that "if a woman takes combined oral contraceptive pills before her first full term pregnancy, she risks a 44 percent increased chance of developing pre-menopause breast cancer when compared to women who have never taken an OCP". Kahlenborn also found that "if a woman takes OCPs for 4 years or more prior to her first full term pregnancy, she suffers a 52 percent increased risk".

OCP = Oral Contraceptive Pill.

STD = Sexually Transmitted Disease.

This is such a sin that has led to the downfall of our society in so many ways. Very sad

What’s even more sad IMO is that many so-called “Christians” fail to see the evil in this & continue to remain silent on this issue. I pray their eyes are opened - soon.

On July 29th 2005 WHO in Geneva released a statement That Oral Contraception is a Group One carcinogen causing Agent. Think Benzene discontinued in fuels, Asbestos discontinued in Building Materials. Cigarette smoking!( They Try to tax you to death) Now THE PILL! The Breast Cancer Link shows Just how disingenuos the AMA, American Cancer Society, HHS, PP, and all the Womens Breast cancer fundraising event mgrs Like Susan Kormen are..

It’s interesting to me that if you posed the idea of flushing your system with chemicals powerful enough to alter your hormone balance and affect your reproductive system each and every month to your average woman today, they’d think you were insane. On top of that, perhaps a majority of women in their reproductive years are ‘into’ organic foods and natural lifestyles . . . and the pill.

It’s called a disconnect.

I wonder if there is a link between autism and women that have taken the pill prior to getting preggers

To my knowledge, the Catholic Church is the only faith that teaches birth control is a sin.

Congratulations. What a profoundly selfish way of thinking.

It technically teaches we have to keep the Natural order! The Pill modifies that..

That’s be an interesting study but I’d guess it’d be pretty hard to sort out evidence since most women have been on the pill at one time or another. Of course, if there were a strong correlation, that’d get the deep six, too. No use in upsetting the betas, deltas and epsilons.

it teaches that the pill is an abortifacient. It is a mortal sin. Period.

I grew to like the little buggers around the house.

The contraceptive pill was sold as the scientific panacea for ultimate sexual liberation. Its real-time effect has been a form of "lobotomy" of reason and good judgement , both of users and prescribers.

So true. I see girls stick with no good guys thanks in part to the birth control (they dont think they'll get pregnant but sometimes they still do) instead of choosing a man who has some kind of potential. :(
