Hi - I would like to share with you one of the article I found on the net, which is very good šŸ™‚
It lists all potential side-effects of using hormonal pills and IUDs - including that they act as abortifacients, as while using them you can still have breakthrough ovulation, which occurs in millions of women each year. You can still conceive a baby, who because of synthetic hormones cannot attach to the uterine lining and dies! Please find some more facts below - as I copied some interesting parts from this article:

Head/Brain

Cerebral hemorrhage (bleeding into the cranial cavity)
Cerebral thrombosis (blood clot that drains blood from the brain)
Melasma, which may persist (skin discoloration; usually dark, irregular patches)
Migraine
Headache
Loss of scalp hair
Acne

Eyes:

Change in corneal curvature (steepening of the cornea)
Intolerance to contact lenses
Cataracts

Heart/Blood

Thrombophlebitis and venous thrombosis with or without embolism (blood clots in the veins)
Hypertension (high blood pressure)
Hemorrhagic eruption (bleeding eruption)
Arterial thromboembolism (blood clots in the heart)
Pulmonary embolism (arterial blockage, usually from a blood clot, that cuts off one lung’s blood supply)
Myocardial infarction (heart attack)
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (kidney failure and low platelet count in the blood)

Mental

Mental depression
Nervousness

Whole Body

Changes in libido (usually decreased libido)
Edema (increased fluid and subsequent pressure within an organ)
Change in weight (increase or decrease)
Rash (allergic reaction)
Pre-menstrual syndrome
Erythema multiforme (allergic reaction)
Erythema nodosum (skin inflammation)
Bone loss
Cancer (breast, uterine and vaginal)

Pregnancy:

Typical use of combined oral contraceptive pills prevents a diagnosed pregnancy in only 90 to 96 percent of women, which means that four to 10 women out of every 100 using the pill for one year will have a diagnosed pregnancy
Hormonal pills and some other ā€œbirth control’ methods like intrauterine device (IUD) very often act as abortifacients – while using them, you can still have ā€œbreakthrough ovulationā€, which occurs in millions of women each year. You can still conceive a baby, who because of synthetic hormones cannot attach to the uterine lining and dies!

The pill’s third mechanism is to change the lining of the endometrium (the lining of the womb), which creates a hostile environment for a newly created human being. The tiny baby cannot implant and is spontaneously aborted by the body
ps. similar mechanism works in case of IUD, like Mirena, etc

As quoted in the booklet ā€œDoes the Birth Control Pill Cause Abortions?ā€ by Randy Alcorn, a representative of the Ortho-McNeil pharmaceutical company said, ā€œIf you end up with a fertilized egg [new human being], it [the baby boy or girl] won’t implant and grow because of the less hospitable endometrium.ā€
ā€It seems unlikely that implantation would be possible in the altered endometrium developed under the influence of most of the suppressants [of ovulation]

Ectopic pregnancy
Some drugs that are known to interact with the pill to cause an increased likelihood of pregnancy including certain antybiothics
St. John’s wort
Impact on Reproductive Organs
Breakthrough bleeding
Breast changes: tenderness, enlargement, secretion
Change in cervical erosion and secretion
Vaginal candidiasis (yeast infection)
Cystitis-like syndrome (frequent urination, sometimes with a painful bladder)
Vaginitis (inflammation of the vaginal area)
Cancer (breast, uterine and vaginal)
Endometriosis

Spiritual:

Using pills, IUD and other invasive or physical contraception might foster or support an anti-life, anti-family attitude. This contraceptive mentality is one in which fertility is seen not as a gift but as a disease to be eradicated.

Contraception (especially pills and IUD and other physical means are not consistent with biblical and Church teachings; it doesn’t respects the order of nature that God instilled in each of His creatures, as we are the ā€œtemples of the Holy Spiritā€. For Christians marriage is symbolic of the relationship that Christ has with His Church, a covenant relationship, one of total self-giving (Ephesians 5: 22-33). Sexual intercourse is intended by God to be a renewal of that marriage covenant. Any action which defrauds sex of its God-given meaning is impermissible. Couples who have a serious reason to practice birth control must concern themselves with the morality of the method they choose. The end never justifies the means. A couple taking the pill: ā€œHence to use this divine gift [the sexual act] while depriving it [taking contraception], even if only partially, of its meaning and purpose, is equally repugnant to the nature of man and of woman, and is consequently in opposition to the plan of God and His holy will.ā€

Relationship:

Depression
Changes in libido (usually decreased libido)
Ways in which the pill destroys relationships:
It easily opens the door for marital infidelity;
It especially opens the door for temptation to youth;
ā€A man who grows accustomed to the use of contraceptive methods may forget the reverence due to a woman, and… reduce her to being a mere instrument for the satisfaction of his own desires, no longer considering her as his partner whom he should surround with care and affection.

For natural family planning teaching I recommend: Couple to Couple League: www.ccli.org - for couples, who are starting or would like to have additional and pro-life support I recommend ā€˜Lady-Comp’ fertility & natural family planning computer or Baby-Comp, which is also used by me and I’m very happy about this device šŸ™‚ you can easily google more about that šŸ™‚ **

Cheers

And thus, I present to you, the modern society.
 
I know some people have had side effects from the pill, but not one of those things have happened to me in all the years I have been taking the pill. All medications have side effects.
 
Dear ā€˜ReasonBeing’ šŸ™‚

For sure - every medicine has side effects - but information and the right of every person to information is also crucial, when making decisions - and the information about drawbacks of pills and IUD is not proportionate to the general information flow about contraception…

Also in the article I quote is the information (for me crucial) - about abortifacient features of pills and IUD, etc…
The pill’s third mechanism is to change the lining of the endometrium (the lining of the womb), which creates a hostile environment for a newly created human being. The tiny baby cannot implant and is spontaneously aborted by the body
ps. similar mechanism works in case of IUD, like Mirena, etc
the above is very important to me as I believe - as every Catholic and most of Christians - that we have immortal, personal, individual soul form the moment of conception…the same for you, this also should be an extreme serious matter as I can see from your profile that you are an secular humanist - from definition your set of values is derived from humanistic philosophy, where human being is the point of reference - and we now that already (from molecular biology) that human being is defined (all DNA, color of eyes, personality) at the moment of conception…
By all the criteria of modern molecular biology, life is present from the moment of conception. - Prof. H. Gordon
So - dear ReasonBeing - we are on the same side :-))

All the best to you and God bless you
