UPDATED: Also read Judie Brown’s comments about Government neglecting women’s health care rights in a Washington Post article here where she states, “The underlying problem is a total lack of honesty. Women are regarded as human guinea pigs with no right to be fully informed. Much of the literature about the birth control pill and other hormonal contraceptives is deceptive, because the federal government has no interest in exposing disturbing facts about them. Moreover, birth control pills are treated much differently than other drugs found to have life-threatening side effects, such as Posicor, Baycol and Zelnorm, each of which was pulled from the market for precisely that reason.”
