Birth Control Gives Cancer to Women

The relationship between birth control (particularly hormonal methods like oral contraceptives) and cancer risk (including tumors) is complex and well-studied. Hormonal contraceptives, especially combined oral contraceptives (containing estrogen and progestin), influence hormone levels that can affect certain cancers. 

Research shows both increased risks for some cancers and protective effects for others. The overall balance often leans neutral or even beneficial for long-term cancer risk in many users, though individual factors like duration of use, age, and specific formulation matter.

 Increased Cancer Risks Associated with Hormonal Birth Control

Hormonal contraceptives are linked to modest increases in risk for certain cancers, particularly during current or recent use. These risks typically decline after stopping.

- Breast cancer — Current or recent use is associated with a small increased risk (around 20-30% relative increase in many studies). For example, a large analysis found a relative risk of about 1.20 for current/recent users compared to never-users. This risk rises with longer duration of use and returns to baseline within about 5-10 years after stopping. Recent 2025 studies highlight variations by progestin type, with some (like desogestrel) linked to higher risks than others (like levonorgestrel). Absolute risk remains low in younger women due to the rarity of breast cancer in premenopausal ages (e.g., roughly 13 extra cases per 100,000 women per year in some cohorts).

- Cervical cancer — Longer use increases risk, partly due to hormonal effects and potential interactions with HPV (the main cause). Risk may rise by about 10% or more with extended use, though this is influenced by screening and HPV status.

- Liver cancer — Rare associations exist with long-term use (e.g., hepatocellular carcinoma in some older data), but recent reviews suggest limited or no strong link in modern formulations.

 Protective Effects Against Certain Cancers

Hormonal birth control often reduces risk for several cancers, with benefits persisting long after discontinuation.

- Ovarian cancer — Use reduces risk by about 30-50%, with greater protection from longer duration. This effect lasts for many years post-use.

- Endometrial cancer — Similar strong protection (around 30-50% reduction), especially with prolonged use, persisting decades after stopping.

- Colorectal cancer — Evidence shows a modest reduction (around 15-20% lower risk in meta-analyses), though not all studies agree on duration effects.

Overall lifetime cancer balance in past users is often neutral, with increased risks for breast and cervical cancers offset by reductions in ovarian, endometrial, and colorectal cancers.

 Key Considerations

- Progestin-only methods (e.g., mini-pill, implants, IUDs like Mirena, injections) show similar patterns to combined pills for breast cancer risk in recent data — a small increase during/recent use — but may offer comparable protective effects for gynecological cancers.

- Risks are generally small in absolute terms, especially for younger users, and must be weighed against benefits like pregnancy prevention (which carries its own risks) and non-cancer advantages (e.g., reduced ovarian cysts, lighter periods).

- The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies combined estrogen-progestogen contraceptives as Group 1 carcinogens (carcinogenic to humans) based on evidence for breast, cervical, and liver cancers, but also notes protective effects.

- Collaborative Group analyses and meta-analyses (e.g., on breast cancer relative risks ~1.20 for recent use).

Contraception Causes Brain Cancer

Since its creation, science and the Church have warned of the dangers of chemical birth control. From heart related problems, hormonal problems, blood clots and cancer; birth control does more harm than the supposed good some feminists and others posit.  Well there is now a new harm: brain cancer.  According to a new study found in the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, prolonged used of hormonal contraceptives by younger women can lead to a significant risk for glioma.  Glioma is a tumor that grows in the spine and brain.  Glial cells mutate and effect the nervous system.  Symptoms of this tumor are headaches, vomiting, nausea, seizures and visual loss.  Over 2,000 women were part of the study ranging from ages 15 to 49.    

Hopefully this study will further persuade women not to harm their bodies with these unnatural forms of birth control.  Anything that alters the hormones of the body will disrupt the body's mechanism.  This disruption can cause all kinds of problems. The human body is a complex collection of cells, tissues, hormones and genes directing all the above. If we tamper with this harmony of chemicals and tissue, then expect the body to react negatively.

Blessed Paul VI

Yesterday, Pope Paul VI was beatified by Pope Francis at St. Peter's Square.  He was accompanied by Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI who was made a cardinal by Paul Vi.

Blessed Paul VI was born Giovanni Battista Enrico Antonio Maria Montini on September 26 1897 and died on August 6, 1978. He took the name Paul in honor of the great evangelist who worked hard to spread the Gospel.  Montini wanted to be like Paul in the new modern world that was full of so many challenges for the Church.

Blessed Paul VI took the helm after the passing of St. John XXIII. He took on the task of continuing the Vatican II councils and implemented many changes in order to better help the Church transmit the Gospel to the world which was clouded with sophism.  He wanted the council to focus on giving a better understanding of the Catholic faith, bring about Church renewal, promoting Christian unity and having a more open dialog with the world.  Blessed Paul VI worked hard to bring about fruit in ecumenism.  He met with the Patriach in Jerusalem as a sign that the Catholic Church was serious about Christian unity.  He wrote 6 encyclicals:

• Mense Maio - dealt on the Virgin Mary
• Ecclesiam Suam - dealt with the teaching of the Church as the Mystical Body of Christ
• Mysterium Fidei - dealt on the mystery of faith and defended the teaching that the Eucharist is literally the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ.
• Sacerdotalis Caelibatus - dealt with priestly celibacy.
• Populorum Progressio - a social justice document dealing with the development of people in the global setting.
• Humanae Vitae - document on human life which condemned artificial birth control and prophetically warned of the dangers it would bring to the family and world. 

The latter is probably what is most known for. Humanae Vitae is a prophetic document that warned the world about the dangers of artificial birth control.  We have been seeing Blessed Paul VI's words come true decades after his death!  This encyclical was very controversial and probably is what created the taboo that the Catholic Church is "out of touch" with the world.  

Since Blessed Paul VI condemned artificial birth control, many organizations that deal with development attacked him and his words saying that they would cause problems with world population and the prevention of diseases.  Even some bishops, cardinals and theologians condemned the encyclical saying it was too invasive and not realistic.  Saint John XXIII had a commission investigate birth control and the report was presented to Pope Paul VI.  The recommendation was that the Church should allow the use of artificial birth control.  Instead of complying with the report, Blessed Paul VI rejected it and said, "therefore, having attentively sifted the documentation laid before us, after mature reflection and assiduous prayers, we now intend, by virtue or the mandate entrusted to us by Christ, to give our reply to these grave questions."  His reply was NO.  

The Holy Spirit spoke through Pope Paul VI in Humanae Vitae because what he warned about is what happened.  Some considered his warnings a slippery slope fallacy, but they came true and are still coming to fruition today.  The institution of artificial birth control gives men and women a false sense of control.  They feel they can do whatever they want with their bodies. Children become products instead of lives.  

Because artificial birth control was made available, women became the "sex toy" of the man. Divorces skyrocketed and today's world has pushed love aside in place of sexual pleasure and pursuits of individual happiness at the expense of others.  This false sense of autonomy brought about the idea that we can have relationships with anyone, including those of the same gender.  Since artificial birth control was pushed as the norm, abortion easily followed because children can be "delayed" when the couple feels like it.  Artificial birth control devalues the human person.  It makes the human a commodity to be used to please another.  

Blessed Paul VI was almost assassinated by a man who stabbed him at the airport in Manila in 1970. The Vatican never disclosed this until years later.  Many have compared Blessed Paul VI with Pope Francis.  Both loved the poor and preferred to use simple things instead of heavily ornate vestments. Blessed Paul VI even sold the Papal tiara and donated the money to the poor.  

When Blessed Teresa of Calcutta asked him for help to care for the poor, he gave her his car so she can sell it to use the money for her ministry to the poor and sick.  Pope Francis has never stopped bringing up the need to care for the poor.  He too prefers less ornate vestments and wants priests to live simply.  He was also the first Pope to visit the United States of America.  The first Papal Mass ever in the "new world" was in the Bronx at the old Yankee Stadium.  

May Blessed Paul VI pray for us in these trying times.

Plan B for Kids

A judge has ordered that the contraceptive drug "Plan B" be made available to minors over the counter.  This is disturbing indeed.  Parents are upset with the decision citing that the courts are infringing on parental rights and are sending the wrong message to children.  Moreover, contraception is known to have side-effects that can harm a woman and even kill her.  Some side effects include, bleeding, changes in menstrual cycle, bloodclot, headaches, changes in hormonal system, vomiting, breast cancer, liver tumors and endometrial cancer.

Is this what we want our kids ingesting, especially during a time where their bodies are going through hormonal changes?

This judge obviously did not think the decision through.  Moreover, this sends the message to minors that they can be promiscuous without repercussions.  This is a result of judicial activism.  Parents must speak out against this ruling and demand it be knocked down.  This will bring serious harm to our kids and society as a whole.

Ironically, schools cannot give aspirin to children with headaches, but now Plan B which does more harm is free to distribute to them.

NYC is Giving the Pill to kids!

New York City and its government is out of control.  They are now allowing the "Plan B" morning after pill to be distributed to young girls without parent's permission!  This is sickening.  They are doing great harm to the youth there by encouraging promiscuity.  Moreover, contraception harms the body.  It can lead to many complications such as blood clots.

Many are protesting this move and are requesting that the city stop doing this.  The irony is that if a student is in pain (headache), a nurse is not allowed to give aspirin, but can give contraception pills.... go figure.  You can keep the headache, but go have sex and use this(pill).

This is a very bad move by the City of New York who is run by ignorant progressives who do not understand the harm they are doing.

Condoms and "safe sex" have been taught for decades in schools and teen pregnancy and STD infections continue to rise.  Something is obviously wrong with this form of education - or brainwashing.

Handing out contraceptive pills will add to the problem. Young children will not learn what it means to be responsible.  Any "mistake" can be "erased" with a pill.  This is a bad message for the youth of New York city.  The schools targeted are in minority communities- no surprise.   

Students must be taught what it means to be responsible.

Catholic Health Association Rejects Compromise

The Catholic Health Association has recently dealt a big blow to "Obamacare" and its HHS mandate.  This mandate requires that employees' health insurance include free birth control coverage.  The Catholic Church has been the most outspoken on this issue due to religious freedom.

The HHS mandate would force Churches to promote contraception.  As you may know, the Catholic Church opposes any form of contraception.


Contraception is immoral and destroys families.  Those who call themselves "liberal Catholics" disagree and feel that the Church has an obligation to provide it to all employees.  This along with Abortion will solve the world problems, according to them.

Religious freedom is important and is a human right.  Mr. Obama is forcing Churches to promote birth control devices and medication that contradict its teachings.

Unfortunately, the CHA and some Catholic institutions have been hijacked by these so-called "liberal Catholics" who disregard Church teachings.  This is why the CHA's rejection of the compromise comes to all faithful Catholics as a surprise.  The members of CHA, including Sister Keehan, have come under fire for being more loyal to Obama than to the Pope.

I applaud the CHA for supporting the Catholic Bishops by rejecting the compromise.  We as Catholics must be loyal to God first and the Church.  We cannot give in to the world's philosophies and lies.

I do remember Jesus saying something about whoever denies Him before men, He will deny before His Father.  So let us be faithful.

Listen To Laity On Contraception

Some priests from the Diocese of Pittsburgh met with Bishop Zubik regarding Contraception and the HHS Mandate.  Their advice to the Bishop was, "Listen to the Laity on Contraception."  Quickly progressives and others lauded these priests as if they were rebelling against their Bishop.  This is not the case.  Priests should always give feedback to their Bishop.

The Bishop cannot be in every place.  The Priest has more access to the Laity and can provide much insight on where they stand spiritually and temporally.  Contraception is a hot issue in the USA.  Some claim the Church's teaching on it is outdated and immoral.  However, they fail to see that Contraception is dangerous not just health-wise but spiritually.

With Contraception, man becomes God by becoming an end to himself.  Human beings dictate who is to be born, when and how.  Sex becomes a pass time of pleasure instead of an exchange of mutual love open to new life.

Contraception makes pregnancy, birth and children seem like a burden or a disease that must be prevented.  Granted, people don't always have the means to maintain a family.  But that is why God gave us reason and conscience.  We can prepare for a family by first getting an education, a stable good paying job, a savings account, and maturity.  Using pills, condoms and what not just opens the door to problems.

Having a child becomes a choice only for the woman instead of the couple.  How can love thrive in a dictatorship?  Children become a "commodity" - an "accessory" - instead of a blessing from God conceived in the love shared between a married man and woman.

Contraception causes harm to women such as blood clots, bleeding, nausea, hormonal imbalances, cancer, fertility problems and so on.  Now some may say, "you are a man, who are you to tell a woman how to run her body"  well true, I am and man; however, where is it written that men are to be heartless and let women or other men hurt themselves?

If your relative or friend, an acquaintance or stranger is about to drink poison, will you let them?

Why would a rational woman choose Contraception with all its dangers in place of just saying no to a sexual encounter?  This decision is safer and makes more sense.  It shows self mastery and maturity.  

Unfortunately, not all Catholics are informed on the teachings of the Church regarding Contraception.  Bishops and priests must work harder to educate the faithful on it and how it harms women, men, couples and society.

A good place to start is by reading Pope Paul VI's prophetic encyclical Humanae Vitae .  He got it right.  Everything he said would happen is happening now!

I do hope more Bishops do listen to the Laity and see where they stand so they can in turn reply with pastoral concern and proper catechesis.

Polls claim that 90% of Catholics use Contraception.  My questions are:  Who has the time to interview every Catholic?  What pervert is watching Catholics have sex so as to be able to know whether or not Contraception is being used?

Sex is good, but so are children.   Let's end this Anti-Life rhetoric.

Tax Payers Have to Pay for College Promiscuity??

Sandra Fluke, a student at Georgetown recently went before a House Democratic committee to voice her concerns regarding Contraception coverage.  She claimed that it costs over $3,000 a year for women to have sex.  She wants tax payers to support women who go to college by paying for their contraception use.

When I saw her on the news at the hearing, the first thing that came to mind was, "this lady is crazy... how can she expect American taxpayers to pay for students to have sex?"    The audacity that this lady has to request money to have sex is beyond absurd.

This of course reached the ears of Conservative pundit Rush Limbaugh who went on air mocking this student and called her a "slut."   He is facing backlash because of this comment.  I am not condoning what he said, but I can see where he is coming from.

Sandra Fluke is presenting the college woman as an uncontrollable nymphomaniac.  She is doing a disservice to women.  Who has so much sex that he/she racks up a $3,000 a year contraception bill??

This of course is just a push for contraception to be paid for by taxpayers.  It is part of the Radical Feminist agenda which seeks to have everyone swallow their irrational views on sexuality.

Ironically, Sandra Fluke holds degrees in Feminist studies and sexuality.  This speaks volumes of her mental schema.

I am against Contraception.  I think it degrades people and takes away from the beauty of procreation.  It is "me" centered.  It closes the door to life in place of sexual pleasure.  However, I understand not everyone will agree with me.  Nevertheless, no one should have to pay for the sex lives of another.

Feminists often cry out the fallacious term "bodily autonomy" and in reply I shout, "wallet autonomy!"

To Sandra Fluke and other Feminists,  Be responsible for YOUR own decisions.  DO NOT rob us of our tax dollars to "fix" your sexual urges.

Obama Vs Catholic Church

The POTUS Barack Obama has declared war on the Catholic Church and religious freedom.  His universal health care plan demands that every institution provide coverage for contraception, abortion and other evils that are prohibited by many religions.

This is a clear violation of the First Amendment.  The State cannot interfere with the Church and freedom of conscience!   This law attempts to force the hand of the Church to promote immoral means to control birth and kill human life.

Contact your local representatives and protest.  We cannot let the United States of America become a Socialist Totalitarian State!

Cardinal designate, Archbishop Dolan is leading the fight against this violation of freedom of religion.
