A new health campaign
started by the Ad Council is aimed at preventing unwanted pregnancies and
helping and empowering women find a method of birth control that is right for
them. Bedsider.org is a new website aimed to educate and empower women about their choices in birth control. The U.S. has one of the highest rates
of unplanned pregnancy in the entire developed world. Nearly one in ten
unmarried young women (ages 20-29) has an unplanned pregnancy each year. This
means fewer opportunities to complete their education or achieve other life
goals, and increased health and social risks for mother and child. Know your choices, ask questions and keep yourself safe while having fun!
Did you know the World Health Organization ranks The Pill as a Group I carcinogen? http://www.jillstanek.com/archives/2009/08/did_you_know_th.html
ReplyDeleteHere is another link that discusses this fact http://www.huffingtonpost.com/christiane-northrup/birth-control-pills-turn_b_544647.html. I don't have any further information re: BCP as a group I carcinogen - if some one else does, please feel free to share.
