This is the latest update of a one-page leaflet first issued under the title Science Facts on the RH Bill.
The world’s leading scientific experts and
extensive research found in peer-reviewed science journals have already
resolved the key questions surrounding the use of contraceptives.

1. The pill and the IUD kill children.
When does human life begin? At fertilization, when the
sperm penetrates the egg. This was the “overwhelming agreement in countless
scientific writings”, and of top experts (including scientists from Harvard
Medical School and the Mayo Clinic) at an eight day hearing of the US Senate.[1]
This is science’s “final answer”, as per the American College of Pediatricians.[2]
Do birth control pills and the IUD kill the
young human being? Yes. After trying to prove that the
pill is not abortifacient, Dr. Walter Larimore found 94 studies showing that the
pill does kill the young human baby -- after the egg has been fertilized. He
published his findings in the scientific journal of the American Medical
Association, and stopped prescribing the pill.[3] The American
Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology of 2005 showed that the intrauterine
device brings about the “destruction of the early embryo.”[4]
2. The pill injures women’s health.
Is the pill safe? The International Agency for Research on
Cancer in a 2007 study made by 21 scientists reported that the pill causes cancer,
giving it the highest level of carcinogenicity, the same as cigarettes and
asbestos.[5] A
2010 study showed that it “carries an excess risk of breast cancer.”[6] It also causes stroke,[7]
and “significantly increases the risk” of heart attacks.[8] Several
scientific journals have stated that the natural way of regulating births has
no side-effects, and is 99 % effective.[9]
3.
Wide
use of contraceptives destroys the family.
Will the greater availability of
contraception improve the stability of families? Wide contraceptive use leads to more premarital
sex, more fatherless children, more single mothers, more abortions,
according to the studies of Nobel prize winner, George Akerlof: “As we have
documented, the norm of premarital sexual abstinence all but vanished in the
wake of the technology shock.”[10]
4. Wide contraceptive use leads to
greater poverty.
Is contraceptive use correlated with poverty? Akerlof
linked increased number of fatherless children and single mothers with greater
poverty. In another research study, Akerlof concluded that contraception leads
to a decline of marriage, less domesticated men, more crimes and more social
pathology and thus more poverty. [11]
Isn’t population control connected with economic development? “No clear
association” is the answer of Simon Kuznets, Nobel Prize winner in the
science of economics.[12] Many later studies
confirmed this, including a 2003 study of the RAND Corporation, a world leader
in research associated with 30 Nobel Prize winners.[13]
5. Wide condom use promotes the spread
of AIDS.
Will the wide use of condoms lower the rate of HIV/AIDS in a country? It will increase it, according
to the “best studies”, concluded Harvard Director for AIDS Prevention, Edward Green. Availability of condoms makes people willing
to take greater sexual risk, thus worsening the spread of AIDS. He showed that fidelity and abstinence are
the best solutions to the epidemic.[14] A 2011 research at The Lancet links hormonal
contraception with double the risk of AIDS.[15]
Help dispel ignorance of these science facts. Give copies to many people,
especially to leaders and to media.
