Birth Control hates women

For many young girls across America, the carcinogenic birth control pill is now eerily prescribed by some as a “right of passage” into adulthood.  Oddly, it’s often the mothers who are taking their daughters to their physicians to have their “precautionary” carcinogenic prescription written.  Obtaining this prescription is seen by many as a “natural” step in growing up.  But it’s not natural.  It’s dangerous and exploitative.

• Hormones Dangerous to Young Girls:  The elevated hormones in oral contraception are particularly dangerous for girls whose bodies are still in a rapid growth phase, causing rapid growth not only in normal cells but in cancer cells too.  After a full-term pregnancy a cancer resistant mechanism develops in breast tissue cells.  Hormonal contraception is especially dangerous to teens because they normally have not developed this cancer resistant mechanism to protect them.  At the conference, Dr. Lanfranci explained:

“It’s like you took this Molotov cocktail of a Group 1 carcinogen and threw it into that young girl’s breast.”

• Hormones Exploit Girls: Like they were candy, rather than a dangerous drug, birth control pills are dispensed and pushed upon girls by pharmaceutical companies through the media, “family” doctors, through school systems and through Planned Parenthood. This push is madness.

One example of this “push” was explained by conference speaker Patricia Bainbridge.  This example is a birth control pill named “Yaz.”  Yaz is specifically marketed to young girls, hence its “Yazzy-pizzazzy” name.  The television commercials for these pills show floating balloons and pretty girls lightly and gaily dancing about.  But the commercials mislead young girls in a serious way.

Yaz is a dangerous drug.  In 2009 there were 1100 lawsuits against Yaz.  The dangers of Yaz are ineffectively communicated to girls who are the target “market” for these drugs.  Here are some dangers:

cerebral hemorrhage, cholestatic jaundice, depression, candidiasis, change in corneal curvature, thrombophlebitis, arterial thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction, cerebral thrombosis, hypertension, gallbladder disease, hepatic adenomas, retinal thrombosis and gastrointestinal symptoms.

If you want to know more about Yaz, you can google: “Yaz lawsuits,” “almost killed by Yaz,” or “Yaz birth control deaths.”  But it is not just with respect to the dangerous side effects of birth control pills that girls are being misled.  They are misled in other ways too.

Don't be misled
