Birth control drugs do unnecessary damage
Birth control drugs do unnecessary damage
Date published: 11/30/2009 Birth control drugs do unnecessary damage The Nov. 12 article titled "New pollutants threaten area waters" was alarming. The Potomac Conservancy's State of the Nation's River report lists many sources of the contamination of our rivers, including estrogen drugs used in people or animals. Health authorities estimate that 100 million women worldwide take some form of hormonal contraceptives. These drugs pass through their bodies unchanged. Estrogen is a known carcinogen. The article suggested that, first of all, people should not flush medications down the toilet. How many people do that? A much more effective action for people to take is to use natural family planning instead of chemical birth control. Depending on the method used, NFP is 91 percent to 99 percent effective in preventing pregnancy. A healthy woman's fertility is not an illness that needs to be treated with carcinogenic drugs that disrupt their bodies and the environment. Colleen Faini King George

There are ways to help prevent estrogen from getting into our waters. But what will happen if birth control is withheld or outlawed. Lets see how about over population, starvation as in third world countries, Or how about increase in legal and illigal abortions. I don't think the writer was looking at the whole picture here. In a perfect world her idea just might work. But this world is imperfect. I think GOD would much rather prevention as apposed to starvation, abuse, increased abortion etc....

He only called them sheep because he didn't know about lemmings.

How so many Catholics want to criticize Nancy Pelosi or other public figures when their opinions and positions on issues are not in lockstep with the Catholic Church. God forbid people think for themselves. Just because the Pope, the Church, Jesus, Mary, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, etc tells you (or supposedly told you through scripture) to do or not do something, you're supposed to just take it at face value? Jesus was right when referring to his followers as sheep!
