Thread by wagglebeeBRITAIN, September 13, 2007, (LifeSiteNews.com) - A new study conducted by individuals at the University of Aberdeen and recently published in the British Medical Journal claims to reassure women that taking oral contraceptives will, in fact, reduce their risk of getting cancer. News services throughout the world are touting the 'medical breakthrough' that supposedly shows that "the cancer benefits of oral contraception outweigh the risks."
In reality, the true facts of the study portray a very different result for the millions of women worldwide who use oral birth control. According to the TimesOnline, the British study reportedly found that, depending on the dataset, the overall risk of cancer was anywhere from 3 to 12% lower for women who "took the Pill for less than eight years." However, for women who took the pill for over 8 years - the increased risk of cancer rose by 22%.

Oliver Barbier grew up outside Boston and attended the University of Chicago, where he earned a political science degree. In both urban settings, Barbier managed to stand out from the mostly liberal culture that dominated the college crowd — he is opposed to abortion rights, a position that he says made him few friends along the way. But this summer, he found his niche.
Barbier, along with four other students, participated in the inaugural class of the National Right to Life Academy, an intensive six-week program that teaches students “all the critical information they need to effectively argue and defend the life issues on campuses and in the workplace, as well as the skills needed to organize and conduct pro-life groups.”
