Maker of contraceptive device faces 37 lawsuits -- so far

From California Catholic Daily:
Amputations, pulmonary embolisms, death

Just two years ago, pharmaceutical manufacturer Organon USA touted the safety and effectiveness of its contraceptive device, the NuvaRing, at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists annual meeting in San Francisco.

But on July 1, in an article headlined "Birth Control Device Killed My Beloved," the New York Post reported the story of Frank Mariconda, who disclosed that his seemingly healthy 31-year-old wife, Rosana, died from a stroke he believes was triggered by NuvaRing.

He's not alone, reported the Post: 37 lawsuits have been filed in Essex County, New Jersey, Superior Court and Newark, NJ, federal court claiming NuvaRing caused blood-clots that resulted in amputations, pulmonary embolisms and death.
Such tragic consequences! Yet many remain unaware of the evil of artificial contraception.
