Jadelle contraceptive implant: A recent news item stated 141 of these implants were put into women at the Tauranga Family Planning clinic in year-ending July 2013. According to F.P.'s national medical advisor, Dr. Christine Roke, the 'increasing popularity of a contraceptive implant could see abortion rates fall further”.
Maybe, for surgical abortions. Truth is the Jadelle contraceptive device may actually increase the abortion rate, higher than ever before.
The Jadelle mode of action is a timed release of levenorgestrol which is an abortifacient.
It inhibits ovulation, thickens cervical mucus, and alters the lining of the uterus to resist the implantation of the tiny human being who subsequently dies. Such abortions happen, but can't be registered.
Google tells us: 'Fertility rods may have hidden faults”, then describes U.K.'s Medicine and Healthcare Regulatory Agency as reporting 36 instances of Implanon devices (predecessor of Janelle) migrating after implantation, and five cases where they could not be found, thus rendering the recipients infertile.
Tauranga F.P. clinic will be conducting abortions using the French drug, originally marketed as RU486, which together with a prostaglandin causes a miscarriage. At mid 2012 this combination, worldwide, was main cause of death for 25 women, including one from Australia. Who'd want to risk being number 26?
