SPUC has released a new leaflet entitled Contraceptives: What you need to know: Birth-control (contraception) methods which can cause abortion.

This much-needed document, based on extensive research undertaken by the Southern Cross Bioethics Institute (SCBI), gives readers the most up-to-date information on how certain forms of 'birth control' operate and whether they have an abortifacient effect.

More in-depth information can be found in SPUC's paper: Birth control methods which can cause abortion [SPUC, 16 July]
