Reply #5: Women's choices for contraception are archaic and outdated at best. To [View All]

permanently mess with one's natural hormones (the pill) is NUTS. The correlation between cancer and the use of the pill is very clear when you take a broad look at the population.

(And just to be really clear, there is no link between abortion and cancer).

Tubal ligation is effective, for sure. But a LOT of work, and permanent.

Condoms are ridiculous, although sadly, effective, but just absolutely SILLY.

The only effective method is the IUD and American women are more willing to contaminate their bodies with artificial hormones than use the IUD, which is kinda nuts. And in some cases the docs won't even place the IUDs without the hormones, which goes right back to screwing with the natural hormone balance.

The norplant? Holy crap, another hormone, cancer inducer. The patch? Same thing.

Women need safer, more effective birth control, end of story.

Until then, abortion remains a safe and effective form of birth control.... and one with the least side effects and damage.
