LONDON, April 30, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) – As reported by LifeSite on April 4, a new study from Oxford University provides what it calls “irrefutable” proof that the likelihood of developing cervical cancer increases with the use of the contraceptive pill.

Now, LifeSite can provide the link to The Lancet in which the full study appears.
