Young Indian Women Using Morning-After Pill

By , About.com GuideJune 29, 2010

Follow me on:

Young Indian women are turning to the morning-after emergency contraceptive pill, available without restrictions at Indian pharmacies, as contraception. According to reports, the wide availability of the over-the-counter morning-after pill has created a sexual revolution among young men and women throughout India. Unfortunately, excessive use of the morning-after pills carry negative side effects. Is this sexual revolution due to the morning-after pill happening elsewhere in the world?

This morning after emergency contraception pill is advertised directly on TV, in print and even on the backs of autorickshaws in Bangalore. All kinds of prescription drugs are easily accessed without prescription through pharmacies (the poor man goes to the chemist with a stomach ache and gets a pill). On the one hand, it lowers the cost of medical care, but it leads to misuse and overuse of drugs, such as antibiotics. Some years down the line, young women who are now using “emergency” contraceptive pills frequently, may find themselves with serious health problems.

You say “excessive use of the morning-after pills carry negative side effects.”
CAN carry negative side effects?
If working properly it always carries the most negative side effect of all: DEATH.
That’s right. If conception has occurred the morning after pill does what it is designed to do: It kills. It kills an innocent human being.
Consider this before sex!

I read decades back that such pills were avaliable in America and the American mothers of even fifth grade school children used to give one such pill to their daughters every morning alongwith the breakfast. Gradually the system spread all over Europe and largly influencied the south east Asian countries includinding China and a few African countries of former Europian colonies. Now due to the globalisation it has reached to the religious conservative countries like India, Egypt and so on.. The highway got opened for the Indian women will bring them to the dead end of sexual anarchy as well as promiscuity and sexual deformity. It is a grave social danger and disaster as far as the Indian society is concerned.
In Biblical sense I consider this as a sign board to the rule and dominion of the Antichrist in which lawlessness and immorality will reach to its peak. These are indeed the stage preparations for his rule.
