Hi all,
I'm new here and this is a topic I think is very important, so I want to tell people about it.
Several commonly-used birth control products (all types of the pill, all types of IUDs, all types of morning-after-pills or “emergency contraception”, mini-pills, patches, rings, implants, injections and some others) often work after conception has taken place, thereby killing a newly conceived human being. All types of hormonal, chemical and metal-based birth control often work this way.
For the average woman using these products, this death of a new human being happens about once a year (more often with all types of IUDs) and it happens frequently with all types of the morning-after-pill.
Although these birth control products are presented as preventing ovulation or impeding sperm, they also rely on a third, less well-publicized, mechanism. Women can and do ovulate while using these products. When this happens and conception occurs, these birth control products will often prevent the new human being from implanting her or himself on the uterine wall thereby killing him or her. Implantation is essential as it provides nourishment and other necessities to the new human being. This mechanism is often referred to as “changing the endometrium”, the endometrium is the uterine wall. Using such a vague and imprecise phrase is meant to downplay the significance of what actually happens, so one sometimes has to dig for this information using both mainstream and alternative sources. For reasons of space, I have cited only two sources (they can be found in another post, #4 below), but as all the types of birth control listed in the first paragraph contain the exact same or very, very similar active ingredients (except for copper IUDs which have a different composition, but still operate frequently after conception has taken place), so all of those types of birth control act in the same way on the body. Therefore, the conclusions of these two sources hold for all of the above types of birth control.
These birth control products (including copper IUDs) pose significant and potentially fatal health and psychological dangers to women using them, including: stroke, breast and other cancers (the World Health Organization and the US government have classified them as class 1 carcinogens, the most dangerous cancer-causing products), fatal blood clots, depression, mood swings, liver disease, serious problems with later pregnancies and other illnesses. IUDs disintegrate or can break and perforate the woman's internal organs. These products alter some of the body's fundamental building blocks, causing health problems, including making a woman more susceptible to STDs. These birth control products can be especially damaging for younger women whose bodies are developing.
Pharmaceutical companies have paid out damages of billions of dollars involving hundreds of thousands of women who were injured by their birth control products. Many women are not aware that some of their health problems are actually caused by these types of birth control. Others will not talk about their health problems, especially mental health ones. It is everyone's duty to inform women who are being or will be harmed by these abortion-causing products.
Commonly-used non-abortion-causing birth control (including condoms, vasectomy, diaphragms, withdrawal and spermicides) pose far less frequently occurring, but occasionally serious, dangers to the woman or man or baby.
A note about condoms and STDs. All professional health organizations say that male and female condoms are less than 100% effective against STDs, including against fatal ones, even when used consistently and correctly. Most also say that when (male) condoms are used consistently and correctly, in the course of one year 2 out of 100 women using them will get pregnant; but user error decreases this effectiveness, reading the instructions is essential. Some STDs (e.g. HPV which can cause many serious and fatal diseases like some cancers) are also transmitted by the skin to skin contact of areas not covered by male and female condoms. However, condoms do cover some of the other areas that have the potential to spread HPV and other STDs. And user error decreases condoms' effectiveness, reading the instructions is essential. For both the male and female condom, problems include the condom slipping off or breaking, or the condom may have been mishandled by the user or the store, or there might have been a manufacturer error. And, apart from abstinence, condoms are the only type of birth control that offers any protection against STDs. They must be used always and used always correctly. At least one organization of doctors as well as some individual doctors say that condoms are much (they emphasize the 'much') less than 100% effective against STDs.
All STDs can turn into fatal illnesses and complications from STDs are one of the leading causes of death in our societies. A significant proportion of the members of Western societies have STDs. If one is sexually active, it is important to get examined by a doctor regularly (yearly or more often) and before and after each different sexual partner. And insist your partner do the same. Vaccines are available for some STDs, although some people worry about the safety of HPV vaccines (I have not had time to do research on this). Also, keep an eye out for symptoms or consequences of STDs. STDs are sneaky and can be transmitted even when no symptoms are present and they are transmittable through only a single act (including oral acts). And serious damage can start to the body even if there are no noticeable symptoms. You must remember that if you pass on an STD, it can pass from your partner to another, who passes it on to another, and so on. Therefore, something you did will continue to seriously harm and possibly kill other people down the line; people who have hopes for the future, things they enjoy doing, fears, etc.
Both female sterilization and hysterectomies (through a different mechanism than that of the birth control products listed in the first paragraph) and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) can also cause the death of a new human after conception and are also bad for a woman's health.
I would be pleased to provide medical and other professional sources from mainstream and peer-reviewed medical journals for all of the statements I have made above, to answer questions and to provide additional information, just ask.
Sorry for the length, but I wanted to be thorough.
