NATIONAL DAY OF PROTEST: BIRTH CONTROL PILL KILLS WOMEN

*Washington, DC (13 May 2009)* -- American Life League's Protest The 
Pill Day '09: The Pill Kills Women will illuminate a hidden tragedy.

On June 6, 2009, men, women and men across the country will take a stand 
against the birth control pill at pharmacies, drug stores, Planned 
Parenthoods and other so-called family planning businesses nationwide.

"Research shows women using oral contraceptives have five times greater 
risk of death from cardiovascular causes," said Marie Hahnenberg, a 
researcher for American Life League.

In 2004 alone, 21,813 females died in the United States from cardiac 
arrest and heart failure 
<http://ss.all.org/link.php?M=84895&N=148&L=1029&F=H>, according to the 
Center for Disease Control and Prevention.

 "How many of these 21,813 women were on the pill, or at one point in 
their lives had been on the pill?"

"The federal government has a moral obligation to conduct research on 
this question and to modify the U.S. Standard Certificate of Death so 
that the right questions are asked," Hahnenberg continued. ""We have 
reports of women who have died from the birth control pill and other 
birth control products and others are suffering terrible side effects 
which could lead to death. Women need to be informed about the truth 
behind this dangerous drug."

Protest the Pill Day is the largest protest ever against the birth 
control pill and other birth control products. Last year, participants 
across the United States shared the facts on exactly how the pill kills 
babies. This year, the event will expose the sordid details surrounding 
the tragic effects these chemicals have on women.

American Life League was cofounded in 1979 by Judie Brown. It is the 
largest grassroots Catholic pro-life organization in the United States 
and is committed to the protection of all innocent human beings from the 
moment of creation to natural death.  For more information or press 
inquiries, please contact Katie Walker at 540.659.4942.

National Catholic Register
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton's recent remarks 
expanding the definition of reproductive rights to include abortion have 
sparked criticism and warnings from a U.S. church official and a 
Catholic congressman. Clinton's comments are a "real threat" to 
U.S.-based international aid agencies, such as Catholic Relief Services, 
which do not promote or provide abortions, said Deirdre McQuade, 
assistant director for policy and communications at the U.S. Conference 
of Catholic Bishops' Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities.
