Birth Control Damages Your Heart

In a recent study, announced in the main line news sources this week, it was found that for every decade of birth control pill use the risk of coronary illness is raised 30%. This means that a woman who begins using birth control pills in her teens will need a heart specialist by their 40's. Woman for years have been indoctrinated in the belief that they should be in control of their fertility. Pregnancy should be planned, convenient, and wanted. If birth control fails, well then have an abortion. Our society encourages girls as young as 10 or 12 to be sexually active and to use birth control. Many parents of preteens intentionally place their daughters on birth control just in case they decide to be sexually active. Birth control is seen as harmless and necessary. But its not. Beside heart disease, there is also a link between birth control and breast cancer. Girls who use birth control pills are more likely to be sexually active, they are also more likely to have an STD.

Woman's health specialists do not recommend that you give up birth control pills. They just want you to be vigilant in being screened for heart disease so that when, not if, you develop coronary illness you can be medicated and operated on in a timely fashion, ultimately preventing a major incident and your untimely death.

Our bodies are amazing and wondrous creations that despite billions of dollars and centuries of studies we are still unable to fully understand. God designed our bodies uniquely feminine. The mystery of pregnancy and the wonder of birth is God's plan for us. Should it surprise us that when we mess with God's design things go wrong.
