I am responding to one of Jill June's slick responses (June 9) to Steve Brody's column (June 2).
Ms. June and her cronies are trying to convince unsuspecting women that their procedure is oh-so-safe. When the original pill came out in 1960, it reportedly was 100 percent effective with no side effects. That was before women began dying and having major complications like blot clots and heart attacks from the high- estrogen pill.

There is now only a single abortion clinic in Mississippi. Once there were seven. There are nearly 3 million people living in the state. No other state with only one abortion clinic has as many residents. Mississippi has enacted every restriction on abortion possible within the limits set by the Supreme Court.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5 /U.S. Newswire/ -- "Every pharmacist in America should know how the birth control pill can prevent a newly- created human being from implanting in his mother's womb," said American Life League president Judie Brown.

Contraception facts
Gerald Thibodeau fails to comprehend a simple Guttmacher Institute statistic, leading him to falsely assert that contraception does not reduce abortion (Dec. 23 letter to the editor). In fact, there is a wealth of evidence demonstrating that effective contraceptive use dramatically reduces unplanned pregnancy and -- thereby -- recourse to abortion.
