Some Facts On Birth Control

I've been looking for information on birth control - pretty much like this - with the real facts for some time. Hard to come by, let me tell you!

Kate had this posted on her blog, and with her approval I was able to post the information from the pamphlet. She has a great post about this entire issue if anyone is interested in reading - I recommend it. However, read the below and know some of the facts about birth control. I may get screamed at about this, but how many people have little angel's in heaven because of the pill, or other abortifciants? Sad!

Everything you never wanted to know about birth control

Taken from a Pamphlet my friend Kate picked up at her Doctor Office.

A distinction exists between contraceptive birth control and abortificiant. Contraceptives are "barrier" methods. Abortificiants cause abortions to put it in blunt form. Abortificiants cause abortions. Many Christians, regardless of religion, believe all of this to be a personal choice between Husband, Wife and God. What many Christians do not take in to fact is the Sons and Daughters that are dying.

Contraceptives, there are only a few contraceptions that truly are contraceptives. The condom, the diaphragm, the cervical cap and the anti sperm agents. These methods may not cause abortion but the Christian couple should prayerfully weigh the facts and consider scripture (Many beyond Psalm 127:3-5)(Why do we deny ourselves blessings from God, can we really plan our family better then God can?) before deciding to use one of them.

Abortifcients are considered as followed:

The pill which is a group of more then 50 similar types of abortifacients. Obviously we all know how they work, no? You pop them in your mouth and it suppresses part of the brain that gives the sign to ovulate and then changes the lining on the cervix to make it difficult for sperm to pass though and can then prevent implantation of human life on the lining of the womb.

Side effects: Infertility, cervical cancer, tubal pregnancy,pelvic inflammation disease, increased chance of contracting STD, breast cancer, gall bladder disease, blindness, strokes, blood clots, even death.

Norplant:A series of capsules implanted under the skin. Studies show that this can cause abortions 50-65% of the time. Growing numbers of lawsuits are being filed against the makers of Norplant.
Side effects: Weight gain,nausea,yeast infections, acne, heart attack, stroke and nerve damage.

Depo-provera:Is an injection received every 3 months. It's a contraceptive and a abortifacient. It may cause abortions 46% of the time.
Side effects include increased risk of breast cancer, mood swings and breast cancer.

The IUD:This device is insert into the womb. It inflames the wombs lining and stops any implantation of a developing child. IUD's do nothing to prevent contraception. Their only function is to cause early abortions.
Side effects include: perforation of the uterus temporary or permanent sterility, tubal pregnancies,future miscarriages,pelvic inflammatory disease and even death.
