Why should they?

A single death from a common medication?

ALL Medicines have a certain amount of risk to certain people...

This is not newsworthy ... unless you have an agenda

[vladimir998]

What? The pill is dangerous to women? Nah! Can’t be. Never happened. (yes, sarcasm)

[A Texan]

This is a little mean but the article title sounds like a lead-in to an Irish joke.

[CholeraJoe]

Barefoot, pregnant, in the kitchen is the only solution.

[Tax-chick]

Ireland ping!

[Psycho_Bunny]

Because it’s agenda news.

although flying, especially economy class, has caused blood clots before, this was not the reason for her death because in such a case the clot would have happened in the plane

Not necessarily. I just read recently that the DVT effects of flying can continue for up to a week. The article said you can wear graduated compression hosiery to help counteract this.

My father developed DVT several weeks after a long drive. Not surprisingly, he was not on the birth control pill.

While the pill certainly could have caused this, it's far from certain that it did. The article, as all I've seen from this source, is obviously ignoring some facts while working an agenda.

[Rudder]

How was it established that the birth control pill caused death? I did read where ...Julie's father Ray, speaking on behalf of his family-his wife Angela and their two daughters-drew special attention to the fact that the pill was the main factor in the death of his daughter.

The father said it was a "fact" that the pill caused the death. How did he establish that as fact?

[Diver Dave]

One factor not mentioned by the good dr is the possibility of Factor V Lieden. Factor V can create blood clots in Factor V positive individual. A blood test is required to determine if one is positive in one or both genes passed on via genetics.

I wouldn’t have know anything about F-V lieden had it not been discovered in my sis following a surgical procedure. We’re thinking a nephew who died from a clot may have been F-V positive but we’ve no way of knowing now. I was tested and came back positive in one gene. Factor V Lieden is more common in Scandinavian individuals.

It is well-known in the medical community that the pill can cause this condition - and it has been well-known for over 20 years.

If anyone is taking the pill and they begin developing migraines - that is a marker for this condition. After my younger daughter was born, I went on the pill and developed migraines within about a month of starting. When I called my doctor (to find out what I could take for the headaches) she told me to stop the pill immediately, and to never plan on going back on it again.

This danger is spelled out in the instruction packet given with each prescription. Anyone taking any medication needs to be fully informed of the risks and the warning signs.

[MountainFlower]

How dreadful for this to happen!! Prayers for comfort for those mourning her loss.

                From the Catechism of the Catholic Church (click on the book for the link.)    

2399 The regulation of births represents one of the aspects of responsible fatherhood and motherhood. Legitimate intentions on the part of the spouses do not justify recourse to morally unacceptable means (for example, direct sterilization or contraception).

 

2370 Periodic continence, that is, the methods of birth regulation based on self-observation and the use of infertile periods, is in conformity with the objective criteria of morality. These methods respect the bodies of the spouses, encourage tenderness between them, and favor the education of an authentic freedom. In contrast, "every action which, whether in anticipation of the conjugal act, or in its accomplishment, or in the development of its natural consequences, proposes, whether as an end or as a means, to render procreation impossible" is intrinsically evil:

Thus the innate language that expresses the total reciprocal self-giving of husband and wife is overlaid, through contraception, by an objectively contradictory language, namely, that of not giving oneself totally to the other. This leads not only to a positive refusal to be open to life but also to a falsification of the inner truth of conjugal love, which is called upon to give itself in personal totality. . . . The difference, both anthropological and moral, between contraception and recourse to the rhythm of the cycle . . . involves in the final analysis two irreconcilable concepts of the human person and of human sexuality.
