| Mike Levatte and the Birth Control Equals Abortion Firestorm | | 2008-08-16 19:49:01 | | TRUE OR ELECTION YEAR POSTURING?Move On. Org is circulating an email."...I had to share something with you. Can you imagine living in a place where birth control is considered an "abortion" and health insurers won't cover it? Where even rape victims are denied emergency contraception? It seems unbelievable, but the Bush Administration is quietly trying to redefine "abortion" to include birth control. The Houston Chronicle says this could wipe out dozens of state laws that protect women's reproductive freedom and protect rape victims. And this proposed "rule change" doesn't need congressional approval. I just signed a message ... | | By: The Pink Flamingo | | |

| Birth Control | | 2008-06-02 02:05:01 | | After marrying a much younger woman, a 93 year-old man visited his doctor and announced they were expecting a baby despite the doctor's previous reassurances that they would not need to use birth control."Let me tell you a story," said the doctor. An absent-minded fellow went hunting, but instead of a gun, he picked up an umbrella. Suddenly a tiger charged toward him. Pointing his umbrella at the tiger, he shot and killed the animal on the spot." "Impossible!" exclaimed the old man. "Somebody must have shot from the side!" "Exactly," replied the doctor.

| FDA Warns Clot Risk Higher in Birth Control Patch Than Pill | | 2008-01-24 07:46:41 | | (HealthDay News) -- A birth control skin patch used by many American women carries a risk of serious blood clots that is higher than the risk already recognized for the birth control pill, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned late Friday.Based on the results of a new study that discovered the increased danger, the agency said it has approved changes to the labeling for the Ortho Evra Contraceptive Transdermal Patch, to better warn women and their doctors of the potential risk."For women that choose to use contraceptives, it is important that they thoroughly discuss with their health-care providers the risks and benefits involved," Dr. Janet Woodcock, deputy commissioner for scientific and medical programs at the FDA, said in a statement.The warning followed reports out of Canada last week of two deaths, one heart attack and 16 cases of blood clots since 2004 among women who used the patch.Approved by the FDA in 2001, the patch is sold by prescription and releases ethinyl estrad | | By: General Detoxification & Cleansing Blog | | |

| Main Middle School Approves Despensing Birth Control Pills | | 2007-10-18 15:20:16 | | I think this is completely preposterous and if I were a parent whose child was in attendance at this school I would be organizing a sign-making, non-violent protest beginning immediately, if not sooner regarding this issue. I ask you - do you feel that the parents should be notified by the school medical personnel of any and ALL types of medication that is given to their minor children while they are being cared for while in the school setting?

| Maine School to Offer Birth Control to 11 Year Old Students | | 2007-10-17 03:56:01 | | I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that a Maine School would offer free birth control to 11 year old students after this controversial field trip to planned parenthood sponsored by a New Hampshire group for middle school students. But I still find it disgraceful.

| Republicans vs. Birth Control or Why the GOP is Going to Lose in 2008 | | 2007-08-23 08:10:37 | | From The Baltimore Sun:The quiet campaign against birth controlAt National Right to Life's conference this year, Mitt Romney set out to convince anti-abortion leaders he was their candidate. At the podium, he rattled off his qualifications. To a layman's ears, it sounded pretty standard for abortion politics. He wants to overturn Roe v. Wade. He supports teaching only abstinence to teens. But for those trained to hear the subtleties, Mr. Romney was acknowledging something more. He implied an opposition to the birth control pill and a willingness to join in their efforts to scale back access to contraception. There are code phrases to listen for - and for those keeping score, Mr. Romney nailed each one. One code phrase is: "I fought to define life as beginning at conception rather than at the time of implantation." The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists defines pregnancy as starting at implantation, the first moment a pregnancy can be known.
