“Interestingly, though the World Health Organization (WHO) classified hormonal contraception as a Group I carcinogen in 2005, they have since removed their carcinogen database.

Substances in this group have the highest cancer risk — cigarettes and asbestos are also in Group I.” Learn more on planbfacts.com #planb #morningafterpill #breastcancerawareness💕 #worldorganization #healthfacts #pregnancycenter

EC and Cancer? Major misinformation!
This viral video spreads false claims about a supposed link between the morning-after pill and an increased risk of breast cancer, relying on misinformation from a Students for Life website. Like many similar posts, it provides no credible evidence to support its claims and seeks to undermine trust in safe, effective forms of contraception.
