 thepillkills.org isn't exactly a reliable source of information.
Taking "the pill" won't increase a woman's risk of death -- in fact, oral contraceptive users may live longer, researchers say. In a population-based study of women in the U.K., death from any cause was 12 percent lower among birth control pill users than among those who never took the drugs, Dr. Philip Hannaford of the University of Aberdeen in Scotland and colleagues reported online in BMJ.http://abcnews.go.com/Health/Wellness/birth-control-pills-reduce-cancer-death/story?id=10084482
It would be easier to take you seriously about the water contamination point you actually have if you weren't citing a crackpot site and ranting about "natural order" as though anything in your life is natural. Could you even survive a weekend if you were stranded in your natural environment?
Survive a weekend in the natural enviroment, with camping stuff or without equipment, yes, I could, for I have done longer than that without camping gear. Fire can be made without modern ignition sources, water can be obtained even in the desert away from obvious water holes, knives and other tools, they can be made, and metal although it may be desireable, it is not needed, for baked bone makes a good flesh cutting implement, as does sharp rocks or rocks made sharp by work. Surviving in the natural enviroment is hard, very hard, even harder on one's own, but the difficulty might be a good indication of just how far we are removed from nature, how far we have come. The gods we pray to, let them help us if we ever find our civilisation reverts back to the start, for there are very few who even believe in that possibility. Take electricity and fuel oil for example, remove only those and what have we got; no transport, no modern aids the things we take for granted, in time no tinned food or supermarket shelves, all we will have, is an enviroment we have poisoned, if surviving in the raw of nature was not hard enough already.
Natural order ? To me, that is the way nature intended, what we would revert back to deprived of our modern fragile dependence on things that without heavy powered machinery, we could not obtain. Nature then decides, and that is when those that live with nature understand what the enemy really is, until we learn to synchronise with it and live by it's orders.
So, maybe you do not believe oestrogen from the female contraceptive pill is getting back into the enviroment, into the water supply, which life drinks from, the website might not be the best, but there are other sources out there to comment, perhaps before condeming a valid point because of the cited example website, you should yourself do a search.
Or is it this is what we have come to, if a website cited is deemed not to be a reliable or creditable source of information, people disregard the information, as if it does not exist, for I assure you this information does exist and that from scientific papers reporting on just what chemicals are now in our water supply.
