                           The ‘Antibaby-Pill’ - Oral Contraceptive

                     Welcome on the website of EPLD-medical pro-life association!

Dear visitor, dear medical colleague,

oral contraceptives can be very dangereous.  EPLD-physisicians as prolifers and Christians are warning their colleagues and all women and their husbands / partners / parents NOT to take such contraceptive pills!

Please, read the following tragic case:

                                                 Oral contraceptive Pill caused Irish Woman's death
An Irish woman has died of deep vein thrombosis after taking an oral contraceptive pill. Julie Hennessy of Dublin was found dead in her home on 22 March.

Pathologist Peter Szontagh-Kishazi said that the cause of death was certainly the Mercilon oral contraceptive pill that Miss Hennessy had just taken. He said: "Clotting is a well-known risk of using the contraceptive pill. There is no other medication that has such a big risk."

A spokesman for Organon Laboratories, which makes the drug, said yesterday that doctors must consider the risks as well as the benefits of prescribing such drugs.

A member of Miss Hennessy's family said: "The Pill was the major cause of our daughter's death and we want to put it on record that other young women should be aware of these dangers. I wouldn't like this to happen to another family." [Irish Independent, 15 August] - Source / per cortesy of ELN NEWS, Ireland, 17.08.07
