The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the abortifacient Norplant, [developed by the Population Council] for public use on December 10, 1990. Norplant was formally introduced to the American public in February 1991.
As of December 2004, about one and a half million North American women had used Norplant. More than 50,000 of these women have brought more than 200 lawsuits, including 70 class-action suits, against Wyeth-Ayerst Laboratories.
The Population Council with roots in the eugenics movement (like Planned Parenthood) is headquartered in NY, but has 18 offices in Africa, Asia, and Latin America and does work in more than 60 countries. It employs more than 500 people from 33 countries ($74 million budget). It develops abortifacients and contraceptives (Norplant, Jadelle, IUDs, Mirena) and tests them on third world women before bringing them home to us as "safe and effective." Even so there are many law suits pending because these chemicals can really mess up a woman's body for years. Population Council was established and funded by the Rockefellers. http://popcouncil.org/who/leadership.asp
I've always wondered how they round up a group of sample women who've just had sexual intercourse, then take the drug to be tested from the researcher, then take a test to see if an embryo has implanted, then compared to women who took a placebo or nothing (how much did they know?). Same with AIDS research.
Anyone know how you procure women for research like that? What job title do the people have who go out and find them? “Randy round-up,” “Rustlers for research,” “Corral and collect.” I read a lot of medical literature. That's never been explained.
Look. New drugs have to be tested on a mammal somewhere along the line--either animals or poor people. This could be why strong links are showing up between contraceptives and breast cancer and abortion and breast cancer.

Norplant is not an abotifacient, it prevents the woman from ovulating and thickens the mucous of the cervix, hence no pregnancy occurs and no abortion occurs. Norplant was been withdrawn from the US market in 2000. There were many lawsuits against the company who developed and sold it. Companies often do drug testing (defined in INDs) in foreign countries because they find people who are willing to be involved in a study with only a small remuneration (food, other health care). Companies are still subject to litigation if informed consent is not properly used. Drugs are tested in foreign companies because the US FDA has RIGOROUS rules; remember thalidomide? The answer to why foreign countries is $$$. Companies can't afford the $$ risk, nor could they pass FDA scrutiny.
There are conflicting studies on the links between BC pills and cancer. So your statement regarding same in not correct.
In parting, do you know why RhIg is given to Rh negative mothers within 72 hrs following delivery??? I'll post the answer on my FB account, you may read it there.
