Influence of economic phenomena on disturbing processes of information on the functioning and effectiveness of hormonal contraception

Abstract

When Pope Paul VI in the encyclical Humanae vitae rejected the support for new products of hormonal contraception, it aroused misunderstanding in many circles, also within the Catholic Church. Years later, however, new facts emerge, the meaning of which is better known today than years ago. In 1965, the definition of pregnancy was changed to one that conceals the abortional influence of these substances. On the basis of contemporary research, it turns out that for over 50 years, public opinion about the true effect of hormonal contraception has been cheated. The confusion of information in the public space around this matter is enormous.A survey conducted in Polish society by the Public Opinion Research Center in 2014 showed a great ignorance of Poles about the true effect of hormonal contraception. It turns out that millions of early miscarriages have been brought without the consent and knowledge of women. This was accomplished by numerous interest groups financially interested in the truth being not widely known. The circles involved in this scam include leading representatives of mainstream media, gynecologists, pharmacists, academics, political and social activists, people associated with the world of culture and the entertainment industry.There is a need for changes in the law that will protect citizens against dishonest market practices in terms of conflicts of interest and corruption.
