_FEATURE STORY_

*THE PILL KILLS - BELIEVE IT OR NOT! 
*/By Judie Brown/

When American Life League launched the new web site www.thepillkills.com 
<http://nvs.all.org/sendstudio/link.php?M=42879&N=218&L=678&F=H>, we 
fully expected to get some very interesting e-mail comments from the 
public. We have not been disappointed. However, buried in the rather 
obnoxious messages, there is opportunity after opportunity to tell the 
truth about the pill and hopefully open some eyes to what those truths 
are. So I am going to use my blog space today to share with you a few of 
the e-mails we have received and our responses. I hope that these help 
you develop your own apologetics for speaking about the pill with those 
who, for one reason or another, refuse to see the facts as they are.

*FROM JESSICA*

This is ridiculous. It is simply false that the pill kills babies. You 
can be against abortion on rational grounds even if I disagree with you, 
but saying that preventative birth control is the same as an abortion? 
You are just flat out lying and it's pathetic.

*AMERICAN LIFE LEAGUE'S REPLY*

Dear Jessica:

As you know from the information you read on our web site 
www.thepillkills.com, the birth control pill has three modes of action, 
one of which results in changes to the endometrium, which reduces the 
likelihood of implantation. This, of course, means that the preborn 
child is not able to implant so that he can continue to grow, and he 
dies. This is chemical abortion.

If you check the web sites of companies that manufacture birth control 
pills, you will find the very same information. Here are some examples:

LoOvral 
<http://nvs.all.org/sendstudio/link.php?M=42879&N=218&L=829&F=H>: Look 
at Clinical Pharmacology and note the third mode of action: "Changes in 
endometrium (which reduces the likelihood of implantation)."

Alesse <http://nvs.all.org/sendstudio/link.php?M=42879&N=218&L=828&F=H>: 
Look at Clinical Pharmacology and note the third mode of action: 
"Changes in endometrium (which reduces the likelihood of implantation)."

Ortho Cyclen 
<http://nvs.all.org/sendstudio/link.php?M=42879&N=218&L=832&F=H>: Look 
at Clinical Pharmacology and note the third mode of action, which is the 
same as noted above.

Jessica, the birth control pill does kill preborn children during their 
first week of life. Therefore, the birth control pill can and does cause 
abortion.

*FROM ALLISON*

Are you planning on imprisoning women (young, poor) for taking the pill? 
Seems to me if you make abortions illegal there will be a lot of 
pregnant women in jail. Doesn't that seem incredibly unreasonable? I 
swear to fight your "league" and its judgmental/weak message till my 
last breath. You may not have my rights.

*AMERICAN LIFE LEAGUE'S REPLY*

Dear Allison:

Thank you for your e-mail about the birth control pill. While nobody has 
ever proposed that women who take the pill be jailed, here is what will 
happen once personhood is restored to all innocent human beings, 
including the youngest, that is, the human zygote: The pill will be 
illegal because it can kill preborn children and therefore it will 
simply not be available.

The idea behind our drive to restore personhood to all human beings from 
the moment their lives begin is not to jail anybody, but simply to make 
all murder illegal, including abortion at any stage of a preborn child's 
life. The laws should protect innocent people; the law should not 
protect someone else's right to kill them.

Don't you agree?

Thanks for your comments and have a blessed day.

FROM STEPHANIE*

Why do you continue to try and take my reproductive rights away? Why do 
you impose your beliefs and religion on people? You say sex out of 
marriage is wrong? Sure ok... perhaps. I'm a virgin so such an issue 
doesn't bother me, but pressing your beliefs and forcing your opinions 
onto others and taking their rights to THEIR OWN BODIES ... IS wrong. 
Hypocrites with little evidence to back up half the information.  The 
pill KILLS babies? Ha-ha wow.... how religion blinds people. Have a 
wonderful time trying to prevent something like pills that actually 
helps prevent abortion (the actual baby killer).

AMERICAN LIFE LEAGUE'S REPLY*

Dear Stephanie:

Thank you for your comments regarding our web site www.thepillkills.com 
<http://nvs.all.org/sendstudio/link.php?M=42879&N=218&L=678&F=H>. The 
web site presents the facts regarding the birth control pill. Perhaps 
you are not aware of this, but there is nobody in America who can take 
someone else's rights away ... That would be in conflict with the 
Constitution. However, as pro-lifers, we want to see human rights 
bestowed on every person from the moment his life begins onward, and 
that is why we work to end abortion -- all abortion -- including the 
abortions caused by the birth control pill, the IUD and other so-called 
contraceptives.

Once the pro-life movement succeeds in constitutionally protecting 
preborn children as persons, chemicals like the pill will be outlawed 
specifically because they can act to kill a fellow human being.

It is our right and duty to pursue this goal, as it is only just that 
every person at every stage of his life be given equal protection and 
equal rights.

The fact that the pill kills is not a religious belief, Stephanie. Look 
at the pill package insert for the birth control pill, and you will read 
right there in black and white how the pill works. No religion at all; 
just facts as presented by the manufacturers of the pill. Check the 
section entitled "Clinical Pharmacology."

Since when is sharing facts that are based on scientific evidence a type 
of hypocrisy? I cannot imagine it.

By the way, the pill is an abortive drug, so how could it possibly help 
prevent what it can cause?

Have a great day!

These comments and our responses are just three of the many we are 
seeing daily. It is our hope that the existence of this web site 
<http://nvs.all.org/sendstudio/link.php?M=42879&N=218&L=678&F=H> and the 
activism planned for June 7, 2008 will open eyes, minds and hearts to 
the truth.

In case you were not aware, June 7, 1965 was the date of the /Griswold/ 
/vs./ /Connecticut/ 
<http://nvs.all.org/sendstudio/link.php?M=42879&N=218&L=834&F=H> Supreme 
Court decision, which is where the alleged right to privacy was first 
fabricated. This is the decision that lifted all legal barriers to 
access to birth control and could well be remembered as the blackest, 
most deadly day in American history.
