The Head of a Catholic Nonprofit Explains: "Why My Employees Don't Want Free Birth Control"
In violation of the First Amendment, President Obama has ordered all Catholic nonprofits to provide their employees with so-called “modern methods of birth control.” Even the openly abortifacient Morning After Pill is supposed to be included. It is “preventative health care,” he claims, and must be “free” for the asking.
We at Population Research Institute reject this unlawful “mandate.” Not only does it violate our deeply held religious beliefs, it also violates our mission: to protect and defend innocent unborn life.
You see, the pill — along with all its injectable and implantable counterparts — is abortifacient.

Most American women don't know that the pill they swallow with their morning orange juice can cause early-term abortions. They don't know that, while on the pill, they (1) may still ovulate, (2) may still conceive a child, and (3) may then abort that child. This is one of the ways that the pill works.
Odds are that PRI's employees also grasp something else that Sandra Fluke doesn't: That the powerful, steroid-based drugs that she is so eager to ingest may negatively impact her health. Not that this ignorance is her fault. How many American women have had the downside of contraception explained to them?
“The pill is not a warm little fuzzy harmless object,” Dr. Rebecca Peck notes, “but causes significant harm to women. As a practicing physician, I see the fallout every day — young women with blood clots in their legs, strokes, early breast cancer, HPV, and cervical cancer. But women aren't told. Informed consent provisions are simply ignored.”
We at PRI helped to get Norplant taken off the market some years ago, after thousands of women became ill after having the drug-laden capsules implanted under their skin. How many women know this? How many women know that there are currently a number of class action lawsuits going forward in the U.S. against various contraceptives because of the harm they have caused women?
