How can I spread the word about the abortifacient effects of the Pill? Some kind of viral marketing campaign?
Posted Monday, April 19, 2010 by admin
I want to do some kind of DIY public-health campaign to let women know that hormonal contraceptives can (sometimes) cause very early term miscarriages by preventing a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterine lining. Usually the pill prevents conception, but sometimes it doesn’t, and then it works by preventing implantation. It’s not that this information is secret– it’s on WebMD and in the Physician’s Desk Reference, and even on the insert that comes with the Pill, but so few women actually know about it…I really want to spread the word, even if only for the sake of informed consent. I figure this is something that goes beyond traditional pro-life/pro-choice; I think a lot of women who believe abortion should be legal would still choose a different method of contraception if they knew this fact… I have zero experience in marketing and/or activism, but I’m willing to learn. Any ideas, Hive Mind?
