Women that use The Pill live longer.
A new study by Professor Philip Hannaford in the British Medical Journal reports that using the contraceptive pill reduces the risk of cancer and heart disease when looked at across all women.
The pill slightly increases the risk of cancer and heart disease in younger women but the protection it offers older women more than compensates for this.
Some Catholic organizations believe that by concentrating on the positive health benefits for older women that younger women will not realize that they are putting themselves at increased risk of cancer and heart disease by using the pill. The Catholic Church opposes all artificial modes of contraception.
Other pro-contraception groups such as Planned Parenthood warn those with more than one partner should also use a condom to protect from sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia and syphilis.
