Women on Contraceptive Pill Should Pay $1,500 a Year More Tax

exactly. i've heard about this before too, especially with eating fish and such. perhaps we should be wondering why our government is doing such a bad job of treating our sewage and looking into improving ways of filtering the water. but no, we need to make it all women's fault for taking birth control even though like you said, it's not just birth control that pollutes the water.I just recently read an article and I wish I could find it but a small town was having issues with it's water life and water supply, they finally tracked it down to the psychiatric hospital and patients urinating in the showers. The way their infastructure was designed the showers drained directly into the river. Can you imagine the kinds of drugs these patients are on?
I think this says more about our water supply and sewage treatment than anything else.
In comments ahead of Wednesday’s vote on restricting female reproductive rights, Michigan State Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D), of Detroit, called on the women of her state to withhold sex from their partners until the legislature backs down.
“We’re launching a war on women,” she said. “Stop having sex with us, gentlemen, and I ask women to boycott men until they stop moving this through the House.”
If women are banned from making choices about their own reproductive freedom, then it’s only fair and only right that men can only get a vasectomy to avert death or avoid illness or psychological injury. If we truly want to make sure that children are born, then we would regulate vasectomies.
“We’re launching a war on women,” she said. “Stop having sex with us, gentlemen, and I ask women to boycott men until they stop moving this through the House.”
The possibility of a male birth control pill may be creeping ever closer.
Scientists have discovered a small molecule that produces a rapid and reversible decrease in sperm count in mice, according to researchers with the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and Baylor College of Medicine.
The compound, known as JQ1, penetrates a boundary in the cells of the male testes and shuts off sperm development in the testicles. The result is non-hormonal birth control that researchers said is entirely reversible.
"Within one to two months [after discontinuing the drug], there was complete restoration in testicular size, sperm number, sperm motility and -- importantly -- fertility," said Dr. James Bradner, an oncologist with Dana Farber and an author on the study. "The litter size was normal, and there were no obvious, adverse symptoms in these animals."
Irvine511 said:Are there other medications that employers should not be "forced" to cover in their health plans?
First of all, from what I understand from doctors [pregnancy from rape] is really rare. If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.
Congressman Todd Akin just released the following statement regarding his interview on the "Jaco Report" broadcast this morning in St. Louis:
"As a member of Congress, I believe that working to protect the most vulnerable in our society is one of my most important responsibilities, and that includes protecting both the unborn and victims of sexual assault. In reviewing my off-the-cuff remarks, it's clear that I misspoke in this interview and it does not reflect the deep empathy I hold for the thousands of women who are raped and abused every year. Those who perpetrate these crimes are the lowest of the low in our society and their victims will have no stronger advocate in the Senate to help ensure they have the justice they deserve.
"I recognize that abortion, and particularly in the case of rape, is a very emotionally charged issue. But I believe deeply in the protection of all life and I do not believe that harming another innocent victim is the right course of action. I also recognize that there are those who, like my opponent, support abortion and I understand I may not have their support in this election.
"But I also believe that this election is about a wide-range of very important issues, starting with the economy and the type of country we will be leaving our children and grandchildren. We've had 42 straight months of unacceptably high unemployment, trillion dollar deficits, and Democratic leaders in Washington who are focused on growing government, instead of jobs. That is my primary focus in this campaign and while there are those who want to distract from that, knowing they cannot defend the Democrats' failed economic record of the last four years, that will continue to be my focus in the months ahead."
Republican Senate Nominee Explains That Women Don't Really Get Pregnant From 'Legitimate Rape'
I swear this country is going backwards. Its embarrassing to be an American whenever people like this Senator say such ignorant things.
I'm still fucking astounded that WOMEN'S HEALTH is being talked about BY TWO MEN. Do the producers of these shows ever think it might be a half-reasonable idea to get, y'know, a WOMAN to talk about WOMEN'S HEALTH? Fuck me.
