Am reading a great novel at the moment titled, Fatherless, by Brian J. Gail. A Catholic novel in nature, as it chronicles the lives of several Catholic families in a parish in Philadelphia in the 1980's.
The more fascinating stories deal with a family man who is working with a pharmaceutical company. He has just uncovered sealed files that expose birth control pills that are linked not only with aborting the egg on the uterine wall, but also creating cervical and uterine cancer in women.
