Washington, DC----American Life League
and nearly 60 cosponsoring organizations are coordinating a
large-scale, nationwide campaign to inform women about the deadly
dangers of the pill and similar hormonal contraceptives.
"The
mountain of evidence that these drugs are killers cannot just be swept
under the rug," said Judie Brown, president of ALL. "We need to get out
there and warn women of the dangers they face. Planned Parenthood and
other pill peddlers are deceiving women and causing their deaths."
For
the next three days, organizers are planning to storm social media on
Twitter and Facebook to bring light to the dangers of not just the
contraceptive pill, but all other contraceptives targeted at women that
damage their reproductive health.
On June 5, #ThePillKills
hash tag will be posted on Twitter all day as part of ALL's
#ThePillKills Tweetstorm to bring attention to the devastating effects
of the pill. "Because of hormonal contraceptives, women are dying and
suffering permanent, debilitating injuries from blood clots, heart
attacks, and strokes," said Rita Diller, director of The Pill Kills
campaign.
On Saturday, June 7,
all across the country The Pill Kills protests and vigils will take
place outside abortion clinics and pharmacies that sell contraceptives.
Activists will distribute literature provided by ALL to the public, outlining all of the dangers and risks posed by contraception and contraceptive devices.
Opposition to #ThePillKills has already manifested itself on The Pill Kills Facebook page and Twitter activity, and this past Tuesday
night there were attempts at sabotaging ALL's national organizing
conference call by pro-abortion and pro-contraception extremists.
"Planned Parenthood does not want our message heard," said Rey Flores,
ALL director of outreach. "We will not be silenced, not when lives are
at stake."
