BY LifeSiteNews.com MANILA, March 11, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Health Secretary Manuel Dayrit has proposed a ban on the birth control method known as the intra-uterine device (IUD).  Dayrit noted that the IUD violated the pro-life law in the country since it could cause early abortions rather than acting as a contraceptive.  The move is similar to the removal of the abortifacient morning after pill after it was demonstrated that it acted as abortifacient rather than only a contraceptive.  Pro-abortion advocates were outraged at the move to withdraw the morning after pill and are hopping made with Dayrit’s suggestion on the IUD.  They are demanding his resignation.  See related LifeSite coverage:  PHILIPPINE GOVERNMENT BANS MORNING-AFTER PILL BECAUSE IT CAUSES ABORTION http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2002/jan/02010401.html   See the coverage in the Manila Times:  http://www.manilatimes.net/national/2003/mar/11/top_stories/20030311top10.html http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/philippine-health-secretary-proposes-ban-of-abortifacient-iud/
