Quotes to Note

Every 38 seconds a woman lays her body down for an abortion, sacrificing her child because she lacks practical resources and emotional support. About two-thirds of women who have abortions feel pressured to do so. They rarely have the critical information that abortion can dramatically increase their risk of breast cancer.

Even 1 abortion can increase a woman's chance of breast cancer by 90%. Teens who have an abortion in their second trimester, have a history of breast cancer in their family, and do not have children later have an 800% higher risk of breast cancer.

Women have the Right to Know about the LINK between abortion and breast cancer. Women deserve full medical disclosure. Women can handle it. Women deserve better... than abortion.

["Abortion-Breast Cancer Link," Angela Lanfranchi, M.D. and Joel Brind, Ph.D.; Feminists for Life of America, 9/04]

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 ( 13 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 ( 31 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.
