Film dedicated to Erika Langhart

It has been anything but an easy journey.

When Rick and Karen Langhart took on the fight against big pharmaceutical companies after their daughter, Erika, died of a double pulmonary embolism that her family attributes to her birth-control method, NuvaRing, they had no idea it would take them before governmental committees, to the pages of Vanity Fair magazine and onto television screens across the nation in a CNN report.

Now, a documentary called “Natural Womanhood” has been dedicated to Erika Langhart. At the premiere, Karen Langhart gave a moving introduction that has been uploaded to YouTube.

“It’s been picking young women off silently, one by one,” she said in the video. “My husband, Rick, remarked that it’s been enough women to fill two jumbo jets, and if they died that way, everyone would have heard about it.”
