If you would like a broader philosophical basis for how the pill harms women, men, and society in general, read Pope Paul VI's 1968 encyclical HUMANAE VITAE: http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/pau...

For insights on God's plan for sex and human dignity, read Pope John Paul II's LOVE & RESPONSIBILITY and THEOLOGY OF THE BODY. Artificial hormonal birth control works by introducing artificial estrogen and artificial progesterone (progestins), at 4 to 10 times the dosage naturally produced by the body. These dangerously high levels trick the brain into thinking that the person may be pregnant and cause ovulation to stop. The pill also prevents conception by thickening the cervical mucous so that the sperm can't reach the egg. If this doesn't work, the pill prevents the implantation of an already fertilized egg. This occurs when a new human person has already been conceived, but after the artificial hormones have thinned the uterus lining. So rather than sort of snuggling into a nice nourishing uterus to continue development, the uterus is hostile and the embryo is discarded. Most pills are combined hormonal pills with both artificial estrogen and artificial progesterone. The progesterone-only pills, however, don't prevent fertilization, but work primarily by thinning the uterus lining. Depo-provera, for example, is a progestin that is injected every three months and strips down the lining of the uterus. Similarly, the intra-uterine device (IUD) causes "inflammation and scarring of uterine lining," thereby preventing implantation. Barrier methods such as condoms, sterilization, diaphragm and spermicides work by aiming "to prevent a meeting of the sperm and the egg." Nevertheless, statistics published by Family Planning Perspectives note an extremely high percentage of "reproductive failures", i.e. pregnancy. The birth control pill has a 12.9% pregnancy rate; condoms have an incredibly high 23.1% pregnancy rate, diaphragm 20%, depo-provera 4.2% and spermicide 25%. Given on average the amount of months that a woman uses artificial birth control during her reproductive years, which is a majority in the reality of North America, there will be 1.8 'reproductive failures' per woman's reproductive life. According to previous studies, only about 50% of pregnancies in the US are intended. Among those that reported unintended pregnancies, 50% said they were using a form of artificial birth control properly at the time of the conception. So it's not like, 'Oh I was on the pill, but I missed it for a week' because that wouldn't be considered being on the pill. Finally, 50% of those "reproductive failures" end in abortion. If abortion is defined as "any interruption in the normal development of the embryo," methods that "prevent implantation" are abortive. Breakthrough ovulation rates (fertilization occurs, but implantation fails), for example, can happen in up to one third of cycles on the pill. In combined hormonal birth control pills, this occurs from 1.7% to 28.6% per cycle, whereas with progestin-only pills, fertilization rates are from 33% to 65% per cycle. These are relatively high rates, Kraw noted, considering that 80% of North American women have used a hormonal method for birth control by the time they finish their reproductive years. Tragically, after discontinuing birth control, women also experience high infertility rates. Fertility rates are 26% lower after using birth control, and 29% lower after using the IUD. In addition, even the so-called "low-dose" pills cause a 2 to 6 times increased risk of blood clots throughout the body. They started off using ten times the amount of estrogen, well, what happened? Women died in the first phase trial of these medications. The problem is that this is still occurring even as the dose of estrogen has lowered itself to only about 4 times with the low-dose pills.

  • @girlhenio14 - for such an important question, I would consult a qualified physician. Regards...

  • Very informative. Thank you for sharing the truth to us. Keep up the good works.

  • @jmcadelina - thank you very much for your comments and support! regards...

  • Very interesting and informative video. It's sad that people would rate this any less than 5 stars. I think, if the world were about to explode, and you made a video of it, people would rate it 1 star, and then the world would explode.

  • Perfectibilisti (6 hours ago) Thank you very much for your comments and support. regards...

  • So people want to stop birth control pill. What foolishness, it's saved a lot of people hassle, especially if they couldn't take care of a child at the moment. Holy cow do you guys want a extremely populated world, and people who can't take care of babies? damn... radicals.

  • Pregnancy begins when the fertilized egg implants in the lining of a woman's uterus. Implantation begins five to seven days after sperm fertilizes the egg & the process is completed several days later.

    Contraception will not work if a woman is already pregnant!!

  • Well, better to have a little clump of cells aborted than to have an embryo aborted, I love my pill !

  • I had a "sidewalk preacher", or whatever you want to call it tell me this same garbage when I said I was on the depo provera shot...she was so sure I was having abortions without knowing it...what she dosent realize is that a lot of women stop having their periods all together once starting a birth control pill or shot, which is what happened in my case. Now, how can I be having an abortion without knowing it if I dont even get my period?? Am I still a killer?? lol

  • Hey, what do they call couples who use the rhythm method?

    Parents

  • @musicdraganfly natural family planning is 99% effective way to get pregnant vs birth control where conception is narrowed down to 99%

    i'm sorry if i was rude but i get angry at people who bash birth control as i see them as just another group who wants to outlaw birth control i.e. forced birthers.

    birth control is still superior.

  • @rehooten Yea it's so they can lie and tell you you just were late because you were sick. The worst part of this is women only have so many eggs where men renew their sperm constantly. If we are constantly losing eggs this way then we even as teenagers will have less eggs when we want to conceive a child and then that is when we pay the docs and drug companies to make us conceive. SICK! Money hungry zombies!

  • @canadianskye1964 I doubt the point of this was to get women and men to stop using birth control but rather to find better options. This video is an informant not to make you stop using it. We just need to find better ways that is all.
