Breast Cancer Awareness Month: Is "The Pill" a Prescription for Breast Cancer?
Jenn
Giroux, Executive Director of HLI America, has taken on this issue full force
and was recently featured on Life Site News "Spotlight: Jenn Giroux - Fighting the Culture of the Pill". Several of Giroux's
quotes stand out during this important month as we aim to educate women and
young girls on the effects of birth control as it relates to women's health and
increased risk of breast cancer.
Here
are a few quotes from the article:
- "It
took six decades to finally have the lawsuits and the legal liabilities catch
up to the sales of cigarettes," she [Giroux] said. "This is now the
sixth decade of pill use. I believe this is the decade the pill and hormonal
contraceptives, and the physical damage it has done to women's health, is going
to catch up also with the billions of dollars that are made in profit."
- "It
is time for the pro-life movement to wake up and be bold enough to say, you
know what, you're damaging our children, you're damaging women, and we're not
going to stand for it anymore," she [Giroux] said. "It's not a
Catholic issue anymore, it's a women's health issue now."
- She
[Giroux] pointed out that women in their 30s have begun succumbing to breast
cancer even though it used to be "a post-menopausal woman's disease"
- a change that she said is "directly tied to hormonal contraception and
abortion."
- "Giroux has teamed up with Angela Lanfranchi, M.D. of the Breast Cancer
Institute to expose the link between contraceptive use and breast cancer. For
example, she says research has suggested women on the Pill within five years of
having their first baby are at 50% increased risk for breast cancer."
