American Life League: The Pill Kills Babies

American Life League Holds Press Conference Announcing Nation-Wide Protest

WASHINGTON, June 6 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- American Life League hosted a
press conference for its first Protest the Pill Day, ramping up for the
protests scheduled to occur nationwide outside facilities that distribute the
pill. In partnership with Pro-Life Wisconsin and Pharmacists for Life, ALL
seeks to raise awareness about the abortifacient nature of the pill and the
intrauterine device, which is responsible for killing preborn children in
their earliest days.

"Inhibition of ovulation is not equal to its elimination. Escape ovulation
happens," said Dr. Marie Anderson, OB/GYN practitioner with the Tepeyac Family
Center in Fairfax, VA. "The short story is that the pill thins the uterine
lining and depletes it of essential nutrients, such as glycodelin-A, to the
degree that it cannot nourish a newly conceived baby. In vetro fertilization
data has repeatedly shown that the minimal endometrial thickness which is
required to maintain an early pregnancy ranges from five -13 mm. The average
endometrial thickness of pill users is only 1.4 mm. This is too thin to
nourish a baby. Consequently, the baby dies, and this is an abortion."

Jim Sedlak, vice president of American Life League said, "In 1965, the
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists changed the definition of
conception from meaning 'the union of egg and sperm' to 'implantation.' They
did this deliberately, in order to avoid labeling the birth control pill and
IUD as abortifacients."

Following brief statements from a panel of experts, American Life League
announced that protests will be taking place in at least 18 states, and ALL
itself will be hosting a protest outside the Planned Parenthood facility at
1108 16th Street N.W. in Washington D.C.
