While this is not an actual peer-reviewed study, Trussell is internationally recognized.
If he recognizes that the Pill does not work, why is it still being pushed on women and young girls?
Meanwhile, Trussell pushes the IUD, which is abortifacient when we use the original definition of conception as fertilization -- union of sperm and egg. Of course, if one defines conception as implantation of the embryo in the uterus, meaning that "pregnancy" begins at implantation, then IUDs and any chemical "contra"ceptive abortifacients such as the pill, the patch, implants, etc. would not be abortifacient. With this semantic definition, the first 6-10 days of human life following fertilization simply don't exist...
The Pill is
outdated and results in unplanned pregnancies; women should get hormonal
implants or intra-uterine devices (IUD) [ed. abortifacients] instead, says a leading contraception
expert in the US.
Women do not take the Pill consistently says Professor James
Trussell, and it ends up causing more unplanned pregnancies. But rather than
encouraging people not to have promiscuous sex or to use Natural Family
Planning, what is really needed is a method of contraception that can be
forgotten but will still be foolproof, he indicated.
Trussell's statements backed up the observations of those who work in
crisis pregnancy centres who say that, despite the government's insistence on
more "contraceptive education," a large number of unplanned pregnancies happen
while women are on the Pill.
Trussell is the director of the Office of Population Research at Princeton
University and was speaking in London at the conference of the British Pregnancy
Advisory Service, Britain's largest abortion-promoting organisation. He said
that in the US, a quarter of all pregnancies are "unwanted" and a result of
failed contraception. The Daily Telegraph coverage notes that half of unplanned
pregnancies in Britain end in abortion.
The morning after pill, or "emergency contraception," that in some cases
causes an early term abortion, is also not the solution, he said. The real
problem is that there is too much "unprotected" sex going on.
"It is not reduced unintended pregnancies in America or anywhere else that
has introduced it. There is so much unprotected sex you would have to use so
much emergency contraception to make a dent," he said.
The answer, he says, is more and better contraceptives.
"The Pill is an outdated method because it does not work well enough. It is
very difficult for ordinary women to take a pill every single day. The beauty of
the implant or the IUD is that you can forget about them."
An IUD is a device that is inserted by a doctor into the uterus that
prevents the implantation of an already formed embryo in the uterine wall, and
as such is an abortifacient device by definition, and not contraception. In
2001, Britain's Society for the Protection of Unborn Children forced the BBC to
change its news coverage and admit that the IUD is not a form of contraception.
But such distinctions are immaterial to Trussell, whose determined advocacy
of contraception is not a surprise given his associations with some of the
largest abortion advocacy organisations in the world.
In addition to his position at Princeton, Trussell is a senior fellow at
the Guttmacher Institute, the research branch of [pro-abortion] Planned Parenthood, is a member
of the board of directors of the [pro-abortion] NARAL Pro-Choice America Foundation, the
Society of Family Planning, and the [pro-abortion] National Medical Committee of Planned
Parenthood Federation of America. He serves on the editorial advisory committees
of Contraception and Contraceptive Technology Update.
