Contraceptive Dangers

[quote name='homeschoolmom' date='Nov 20 2005, 05:14 PM']I was kinda thinking that it was like Chinese foot binding. You take a perfectly good, healthy and functioning part of the body and distort it's ability to function properly for the sake of vanity. And what happens? You end up distroying it.

I think it's very much like that. When I was in college (a Christian university), it was commonplace for women getting married to start the Pill about six months in. It was slightly scandalous for a woman who wasn't engaged to be on some form of birth control, but it did happen for medical reasons. We'd talk about how it altered moods, caused weight gain, and, in some cases, affected fertility adversely after someone had gone off it, and yet none of us ever questioned being on it. It's just become such an ingrained part of the culture (in what, one generation?)that people don't think to question it.

[quote name='Ash Wednesday' date='Nov 20 2005, 09:52 PM']I recall someone back when I was an undergrad student and she was on the pill and at first her periods stopped. But THEN later they wouldn't stop! It was like she was experiencing constant ongoing menstruation!!!  Can you imagine?!?!?

Convictions aside, that possibility, remote though it may be, is enough to keep me from EVER thinking about being on the Pill.

Thank you

I was given the Pill to take for regulation of my period.

I didn't even open the package.


They give out this Pill to anyone who has a weird cycle, and the doctor didn't even warn me of the risks involved with taking the Pill.

Old joe; you're comments ar eright on the money!

You can't 'fool' your body into doing something it was not meant to be without having some form of consequence down the line!

I like this quote from the article though:

""In essence," de Solenni stated, "some women who choose not to use contraceptives could be women who are sincerely concerned for their own health and well-being." A point of view that is receiving more and more support from scientific studies. "


A point of view that is receiving more and more attention... I like that and I hope to God its accurate.


There may be more hope than we thought after all... *smiles*

*Radio announcer voice* "New on the maket today, a miracle drug designed to make the human respiratory system not function correctly.  this new drug is being dubbed by the medical community as the savior for all people with healthy lungs.  Most scientists claim this new drug will make it impossible to breathe within one minute of use.  Now, you too can know what it is like to not have to breathe.  No longer will you have to wallow in the tyrannical chains your lungs impose upon your body.  Dr. Iman Idiot has informed us that this new drug has been approved by the FDA and will be available for sale within the United States within three months.  Just think, three months from now, you will be free of the burden of oxygen!"
