THE PILOT .3

Stand up for Religious Freedom rally That coincided with 160 simultaneous rallies in cities across the U.S. on June 8 to commemorate the day James Madison introduced the Bill of Rights into the First Congress on June 8, 1789. Both the mandate and the compromise are a violation of the First Amendment protections of religious belief. a government overreaching the power of the people and their human rights. those of us here today arent just Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Evangelists, Mormons; we are Patriots.

The Pill: How does it work? Is it SAFE?

The Billions of dollars at stake in the marketing of the pill and the power of birth control industry to lobby both lawmakers and the media can

easily divert the average person from the truth.

What are the COMMON SIDE-EFFECTS of the PILL?

HEART & BLOOD

ABNORMALITIES
Blood clots High BP

Premature CAD

CANCER
Breast Cancer

Cervical Cancer
Liver Cancer

IS THE PILL SAFER THAN PREGNANCY?

NO. The health risks of the pill outweighs by far the risks of pregnancy and childbirth to a womans health. Any claim to the contrary is based on erroneous comparisons between healthy women on the pill and the women who DO NOT receive normal care during pregnancy.

Make no mistake, the Pill and the IUD are abortifacients.

On the debate on Family Planning National Abortion Federation (NAF) June 1985 Congress, Boston, USA

EXPERTS who deny the abortifacient properties of the pill and IUD have actually transferred the beginning of life from fertilization to implantation or nidation. This is what the ACOG ( & FIGO) has done so, they have formed the Association of Obstetrician & GYN for Life

WHAT PRO-CHOICE LAWYERS SAY:

On the opposition to the Louisiana Law Banning ABORTION:

Because nearly ALL birth control devices, except

the diaphragm and condom, operate between

the time of conception and implantation, the statute would appear to ban most contraceptives.
RUTH COLKER Tulane Law School Professor Dallas Morning News, 23A, February 6, 1992

IUDs and low dose birth control pills act as abortifacients.

ATTY. FRANK SUSSMAN

Lawyer for Missouri abortion clinics Arguments before the U.S. Supreme Court April 27, 1989 * Evidently even these pro-choice lawyers believe and understand that life begins, without doubt with the fusion of the egg & sperm or at fertilization.

Legal Abortion NOT Safe for Women

Up

20% of maternal deaths are due to abortions, even in those situations where abortion is legal there is a question whether safe abortion is safe. Dr. Gunta Lazdane
European Regional Adviser WHO on Reproductive Health and Research Washington Conference, May 2004

Speaking yesterday before the House Foreign Affairs Committee in response to questions put by Smith and Fortenberry, Clinton stated Reproductive health includes access to abortion that I believe should be safe, legal and rare. Tom McFeely, April 23, 2009

Case Scenario July 2008

A 70 year old female patient, retired government official, was admitted for a severe pelvic infection. OnTHE PHILIPPINE work-up, it was discovered that the source

of the infection was an IUD (neglected in the last 30 years) - embedded in her uterus which was eventually removed by surgery.

 We therefore submit that much of the intent and purpose of the House & Senate bills on Reproductive health are actually in place and being implemented to the detriment of many. It should NOT be legislated.

IS CHASTITY A MEDICAL ISSUE? by Ross S. Olson MD

CHASTITY means : ONE PARTNER FOR LIFE. One Partner for Life is the Ideal for Sexual Health

1. There would be essentially no sexually transmitted diseases. 2. There would be fewer "unwanted" pregnancies. 3. It is psychologically healthier. 4. It removes the cause of a great deal of poverty and economic difficulty. 5. Many other social problems are reduced. The 6. Sex is ultimately more enjoyable when it is exclusive. Anything casual loses significance.
as well as being at child in a stable two parent home does better psychologically and academically
