I had an aunt who had blood clots because of the birth control pill.<\/p>\n
We were lucky. Her bloods clots were in her legs and did not break off and move to her lungs, heart or brain. However, even this relatively \u201cmild\u201d side effect was painful and required a week in the hospital on blood thinners, which were also dangerous.<\/p>\n
None\u00a0of this was necessary. My aunt wasn\u2019t using birth control pills because she had cancer and she needed them to save her life. She wasn\u2019t using them because she had a disease of any sort.<\/p>\n
My aunt took birth control pills because they had been aggressively marketed by the pharmaceutical companies and pushed by her doctor. She took them because the medical establishment and the culture as a whole has so little regard for true women\u2019s health that they used her \u2014 along with the entire female half of the world population \u2014 as a guinea pig in social engineering masquerading as \u201cwomen\u2019s health.\u201d<\/p>\n
Birth control, as it is pushed by these people, is as much social engineering and eugenics as anything to do with women. Right up to the present day, dangerous chemical birth control, as well as equally dangerous methods such as the IUD, are pushed on women without regard to the consequences and without telling them that there are other, completely safe, methods of contraception.<\/p>\n
The problem with the so-called barrier methods of birth control is that their monetary pay-off to organizations such as Planned Parenthood is relatively small or even nonexistent. It doesn\u2019t require the expenditure of enormous amounts of federal dollars for people to simply go to the nearest pharmacy or Wal Mart and buy contraceptives off the shelves. Fitting someone with a diaphragm does require a doctor\u2019s visit. But it is a one-shot deal.<\/p>\n
Chemical birth control, however, requires repeated visits to medical personnel. Chemical birth control also costs a lot more than the greasy kid stuff you can buy off the shelves. Ironically, the pushers of chemical birth control are also the pushers of abortion on demand.<\/p>\n
How do they justify this? They do it by talking about \u201cbirth control failure.\u201d \u201cEven the best birth control fails,\u201d they tell us at the same time that they assure us that chemical birth control and all its health risks are a necessary evil. After all, they say, without the faintest blush of embarrassment, chemical birth control is the only \u201ctruly effective method\u201d of birth control. However, they add, going in a circle, we need abortion as a \u201cbackup\u201d throughout the span of pregnancy, right up to the day before delivery.<\/p>\n
Let\u2019s be clear about this. The greasy kid stuff works if you use it. You just have to use it.<\/p>\n
The insanity of this whole paradigm slides right past most people, including parents. No one seems to consider that Planned Parenthood is in the schools, drumming up business for itself by pushing kids to be sexually active and telling them that they need to be \u201con the pill.\u201d No one has stopped to consider that this has gone so far that a lot of parents\u2019 first question when they learn that their young teenager is sleeping around is \u201care you \u2018protected?'\u201d<\/p>\n
My question is, protected from what? Protected from the emotional damage of being reduced to meat to be sexually used? Protected from sexually transmitted diseases? Protected from the death-dealing short and long term sides effects of dosing their young bodies with artificial hormones?<\/p>\n
Are they being protected from the risks of uterine perforations, blood clots, heart attacks and strokes that are a big part of the side effects of these things?<\/p>\n
Are they being protected from getting breast cancer later in their lives? Who protects them from the chemotherapy and radiation that goes with that?<\/p>\n
Are they being protected from being able to form genuine emotional commitments with young men?<\/p>\n
What, exactly, are these young girls being protected from?<\/p>\n
And why are we allowing the pushers of these drugs into our schools to sex educate our daughters to use them?<\/p>\n
A current article in Vanity Fair raises disturbing questions about one of these dangerous birth control devices called the NuvaRing. Do you remember the NuvaRing? There were a lot of ads for it.<\/p>\n
It was marketed as a freedom from the onerous requirement of taking a pill every day. The ads encouraged young women to just pop in a NuvaRing once each month and get their daily dose of artificial hormones the thoughtless way. The only trouble is that NuvaRing has turned out to have side effects that may require a number of not-so-convenient stays in the hospital and even funerals. Like every other form of chemical birth control, NuvaRing can be a killer.<\/p>\n
Let me ask you this: If it was your daughter who died of a \u201cmassive, double pulmonary embolism\u201d caused by this device, would you consider that \u201ccomplication\u201d an \u201cacceptable risk\u201d for \u201cpreventing unwanted pregnancy?\u201d<\/p>\n
When did this kind of catastrophic \u201ccomplication\u201d for a treatment that is being given to people who are not sick and who do not need it become \u201cacceptable?\u201d The fashionable \u2014 and stupid \u2014 answer is to juxtapose the statistics of complications of pregnancy and child birth with the complications of using chemical birth control. The unthinking and sheep-like public eats this bogus logic up with a spoon and allows their daughters to be sacrificed to the lie of it.<\/p>\n
And it is a lie. It is a lie based on a totally fallacious assumption.<\/p>\n
The fallacious assumption is that chemical birth control is the only way to prevent \u201cunwanted pregnancy.\u201d That is absolutely untrue. Chemical birth control is not the only way to prevent unwanted pregnancy. It\u2019s just the most dangerous way.<\/p>\n
This is a NuvaRing commercial. Notice that it does \u2014 due to legal requirements \u2014 give a list of warnings. It does not include a list of side effects, including the catastrophic side effects that have actually occurred. But anyone who is really listening and not brain-washed by our contraceptive culture, would run the other way.<\/p>\n
