Birth Control Claims Another Victim: Yaz Causes Pulmonary Embolism

Washington, DC (14 October 2009) – The Swiss government is linking a woman’s death to popular birth control product Yaz made by Bayer Pharmaceuticals.
The woman died of a pulmonary embolism in June, just 10 months after starting the hormonal contraceptive.
Last month American Life League reported that Patti Kelly, 28, of Austin, Texas was diagnosed in August with multiple blood clots in both lungs. Her doctor told her that if she hadn’t come into the emergency room when she did, she “could have died instantly.” Her doctor attributed the blood clots to her use of hormonal contraceptives.
Hormonal contraceptives have long been known to cause deep vein thrombosis which can then result in pulmonary embolisms and even death.
“While the feminist establishment is busy playing a twisted game of “See No Evil” for the sake of their birth control agenda, women are dying,” said Marie Hahnenberg, ALL’s director of The Pill Kills project. “How long are they going to hide the dangerous side effects of birth control? How many more women have to die?”
Other side effects of hormonal contraceptives include increased risk of cancer, bone loss and cerebral hemorrhage.
“The big pharmaceutical companies, feminists and the pro-abortion lobby are busy convincing us that birth control allows us to have perfectly planned life,” Hahnenberg said. “But the truth is birth control is dangerous and sometimes deadly and women deserve the truth – now.”
American Life League was cofounded in 1979 by Judie Brown. It is the largest grassroots Catholic pro-life organization in the United States and is committed to the protection of all innocent human beings from the moment of creation to natural death.
