Let's Fly Away To the Land of Hormones

I found a very enlightening and entertaining post on the Ortho Evra birth control patch via Jill Stanek's blog, which is a must read for all women and those who love them.


I gotta start by saying I love that little flying carefree chick in the Ortho Evra birth control patch logo.

Just looking at it brings me peace, so much peace, I could barely raise an eyebrow when reading the Media Post April 5 article that Johnson & Johnson has been buying domain names in a preemptive strike against the creation of websites that might draw negative attention to Ortho Evra. I might wonder why did I not have my peaceful head in the sand.

According to MP:
A study from February 2006 showed that blood clot risk was doubled for women using the birth control patch versus oral contraceptives. In addition, women who use the patch are exposed to 60% more hormones than those who take birth control pills....

My, that would sound serious if I didn't have the blind confidence that hormonal contraception is safer than any malady known to women, particularly fetal parasites. [Read the rest here.]

  1. Seems like Johnson & Johnson forgot to buy these domain names:

    http://www.OrthoEvraIsHarmful.com
    http://www.Ortho-Evra-Sucks.com
    http://www.Ortho-Evra-Deaths.com
    http://www.Ortho-Evra-Kills.com
    http://www.Ortho-Evra-Litigation.com

    These websites detail the numerous claims and lawsuits filed in response to ill effects of the the Ortho Evra birth control patch.

    The bottom line is that Ortho Evra is dangerous to the health and lives of women.

  2. Thanks for adding this. I would hope that most readers would read the entire post and discover these links for themselves, but I forget that sometimes unless the info is "in your face" some people will not read the entire post.
