by themselves no, but combine them with an activity like smoking and they certainly can be. They increase the tendency of the blood to clot, combine that with the vaso constriction caused by nicotine and you have a deadly combination, known to cause heart attack and stroke in even young women.

Depends on the individuals health. And also the type of birth control that you use. If the women is predespositioned with blood clots, then she shouldn't use birth control pills. But how is she to know that? Regular check ups with a doctor can prevent a "deadly birth control" episode from happening.

It all depends on which type of birth control you use.
Chemical methods have been known to be harmful for a woman's health as the cause fewer menstrual cycles. This might lead to high blood pressure or even a stroke. Such a type of birth control should be baned from shelves and left for prescription as this will reduce the risk of such tragedies. (e.g. the patch and pill)
Barrier methods suck as the condom are much safer for your health, however they are not as reliable, if there is a slip off the penis or vaginal wall or even a tiny hole sperm can still get in and cause pregnancy.
Surgical methods are also optional but these also have their disadvantages as they may cause infertility based on the type of surgery done, there are permanent and temporary ones but both can sometimes cause permanent infertility.

Which ever method you should choose, discuss with a doctor before starting.

Birth control pills/patches do have some risk. Those who are at the highest risk are women over 35 and women that smoke, otherwies the risk is very low.

Birth control pills can cause blood clots or stroke-and raise your blood pressure. Got to be careful w/ other factors such as smoking, age,etc.
