Pill in "silent holocaust"

I am pleased to read that some of the truth and the horror of the contraceptive pill is receiving media coverage.

I refer to the article in the Irish Examiner of July 9, 2002, by Trista Vincent.

The oral contraceptive pill does not fully suppress a woman’s ovulation. Medical practice already confirms that the pill is not 100% effective. One of the many intended effects on women of taking this drug is that the lining of the womb does not thicken enough for a fertilised ovum to grow.

If a baby is conceived by a woman who is “on the pill”, this baby has a greatly reduced chance of survival.

This is because the lining of the womb is rendered hostile by the drug.

This suggests that the use of the pill may cause babies to die and that it is thus an abortifacient contraceptive.

Is there is an unprecedented silent holocaust taking place?

If so, may God have mercy on us all!
