Opinions are like certain body parts...

My husband is always telling me this... opinions are like *beep*, everyone has one... Well, I just typed my second opinion and I think I'll actually send this one to the paper.  Mostly because I wrote it with a calm, cool, and collected heart, but seriously because I got it under 300 words all by myself...

That is talent.  Because those of you who know me, know I can talk.   And if you can talk, you can write, and if you can write, you can write, and write, and write, and write... you get it...

So I wrote about the pill.  Did you know the pill acts as an abortifacient?  Well, I'm going to try and copy and paste my opinion paper onto here, but it may not work- I'm just really getting into this whole techno-thing, and I probably should take a class because I stink at it for sure-so I can't promise anything, but my opinion paper, explains how the pill works, and the side effects of the pill. 

Most of this I know from speaking to OBGYN's.  And some of this I know from actually BEING on the pill when I was a teenager.  I know, I'm an idiot.  I wish I had NEVER exposed myself to those risks.  And we saw the effect it had because it made me infertile for so very long when we were trying to start our family.  Here's my opinion below!!!  Enjoy!

Let’s be clear about the birth control pill, what our government is touting as a “women’s health benefit.” People seem to think it’s the wonderdrug.  To think, it can clear acne, help painful periods, and promote fertility. Well, there’s a flip side.  Let’s look at what the government conveniently fails to mention about the pill:

The World Health Organization has estrogen/progesterone combinations (i.e. the pill) listed as known carcinogens-cancer causing drugs. The pill is known to increase your chances of breast, cervical and liver cancers.  It can cause depression, weight gain, stroke, blood clots, heart attacks, gall stones, and infertility.  The health warnings listed on the insert goes on and on.  All to have a clear complexion and painless periods?

The pill works in one of three ways.  First, it is designed to prevent ovulation.  But if a woman’s chemical make-up resists that prevention, the second way the pill works is to thicken the cervical mucus that is used to help the sperm migrate its way to the egg in the fallopian tube.  Thicker mucus tends to “kill off” sperm because it’s too thick to move through. Lastly, if the first two options have not worked and the sperm actually fertilizes the egg-- which means it’s now a baby, now it has its own DNA-- the pill works to make the lining of a woman’s uterus unable to hold the baby and therefore now acts as a chemical abortifacient.  This causes the baby to be passed, mistakenly presumed by the mother as a menstrual cycle.

So if people want to continue the banter about this being a “health benefit” for women, let’s put all the cards on the table. Let’s make sure we understand what we’re all fired up for and excited to pass out for free to women.
