Quotes to Note

According to the March of Dimes, "In 2001, more than 476,000 babies, or nearly 12 percent of live births, were born too soon – before 37 completed weeks – in the U.S.

“The annual rate of babies born prematurely has risen 27 percent since 1981... In 2000, hospital charges for 23,000 prematurity-related infant stays totaled $1.2 Billion. The average charge was $58,000 per baby, compared to $4,300 for a typical [term] newborn stay."1
[¹ Derived from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample for 2000, a component of the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project. The diagnosis code includes short gestation and low birthweight]

Treatment of these children through employer health plans has been estimated at $4.7 Billion per year.

One fifth of these costs may be attributable to extra cases of prematurity arising from abortion-related morbidity.

premature birth is the leading cause of newnatal death and is related to increased risk of cerebral palsy, vision and hearing loss, retardation, and other life-long health problems.

Natural Family Planning

More studies are appearing from around the world regarding the estrogen pollution of waterways from chemical birth control, and its adverse effects, at least on various fish populations.

Most people oppose environmental pollution, but seldom think about the chemical pollution they inflict on their own bodies.

It is well documented that long-term exposure to estrogen may have a carcinogenic effect on the human body. The World Health Organization (WHO) lists most estrogens as carcinogenic substances.

Natural Family Planning (NFP) is an all-natural, body-friendly method of avoiding - or causing - pregnancy through a 98% effective 3-pronged plan of fertility awareness.

For many women, being aware of the power of their fertility is a very "freeing" sensation, as opposed to the "bondage" of chemical birth control methods that suppress normal body functions.

Barrier Methods ( 6 items )
Please Note: Birth Control refers to many methods which block fertilization (union of sperm and egg), often referred to as "contraception", or which prevent a conceived human being from achieving birth, such as the IUD. Many birth control methods will be highlighted for their effectiveness - or ineffectiveness - in the prevention of Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs/STIs)
Chemical Methods ( 14 items )
For information specifically related to Emergency Contraception (The Morning After Pill), please click here.

"Contraceptives" should actually block or prevent conception (fertilization), according to the term ("against conception"). However, progesterone "contraceptives" are primarily abortifacient (cause early abortions of conceived humans), and low-dose estrogen "contraceptives" allow break-through fertilization a percentage of the time, resulting in an abortifacient effect at times.

"Contraceptives" are therefore more correctly referred to as "Birth Control", because they control the number of births that result from actual pregnancies.

Birth Control refers to many methods which prevent a conceived human being from achieving birth. Many birth control methods will also be highlighted for their effectiveness or ineffectiveness in the prevention of Sexually Transmitted Diseases/Infections (STDs/STIs).

Chemical Birth Control methods provide NO protection against any STD, and may change the vaginal lining, making it more susceptible to STD infection. [CDC, 1998].

New studies show a significant relationship between Pill use, HPV (Human Papilloma Virus which results in genital/oral warts), and cervical cancer. HPV is present in 99% of all cervical cancer cases worldwide. Use of The Pill appears to dramatically increase the risk of cervical cancer in the presence of HPV, according to recent studies.

Emergency Contraception / Morning-After Pill ( 26 items )
High dose birth control pill regimens (estrogen or progesterone) used shortly after intercourse. Effect: if fertilization has not taken place yet, within the moments from fertilization until the regime is taken, EC may act as a true contraceptive and block fertilization; more likely, there has been no fertilization, and therefore, no effect; or, if fertilization has occurred, the effect may cause an early abortion ["pre-implantation effect"]. Long-term effect on the female body of such high dose hormones is not known.
Research & Statistics ( 30 items )
One in 5 adolsecents currently has an STD.

Over 80% of teens (8 of 10) are infected with at least one STD, but are not aware of the infection(s).

There is currently a 24% Pregnancy Rate for teens using condoms. This means approximately 24 of every 100 teen girls whose sex partners are using condoms will get pregnant.
