U.S.Pharmacists can't refuse Plan B pill, appeals court says
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-pill-ruling9-2009jul09,0,6469894.story Pharmacists are obliged to dispense the Plan B pill, even if they are personally opposed to the "morning after" contraceptive on religious grounds, a federal appeals court ruled Wednesday. In a case that could affect policy across the western U.S., a supermarket pharmacy owner in Olympia, Wash., failed in a bid to block 2007 regulations that required all Washington pharmacies to stock and dispense the pills. Family-owned Ralph's Thriftway and two pharmacists employed elsewhere sued Washington state officials over the requirement.missed my pill, and had sex - plan b?
Okay, I feel *really stupid asking this, and I'm probably just being paranoid, but I want opinions. I'm on Seasonique, which is the extended regimen pill where you get 4 periods a year. Thursday night I took my pill at 9PM, the same time I always do.Plan B
Okay, so I'm in a bit of a panic currently. I'm going to try and explain my situation and just asking for comments/suggestions/similiar experiences... I have been on NuvaRing for a year up until this past month, when I was supposed to reinsert a new ring after a week long break (taken out Mon, June 8th - got period Thursday, June 11th - needed to reinsert a new ring on Monday, June 15) - However, my prescription expired and I didn't reinsert a new one until two days ago, on Friday, June 19th (when I had a gynecologist appointment and she wrote me a new prescription)."Home" for the Holidays?
Most of my life I've often wondered why Thanksgiving seemed to be for many families a trigger word for family dysfuction. Why individuals couldn't just let that disagreement with another family member go for one bloody day and enjoy some good food and conversation with more pleasant family members. I have to keep reminding my self that I'm pragmatic by nature and that is apparently unusual. I found an article with some helpful tips. Holidays are meant to be happy, joyous and life-affirming times.Tech Dating 101: He CC'd Me on an Email to His Mom
A friend of mine needs some advice: last week, her brand-new boyfriend (we're taking days here, not even weeks) wrote an email list of gifts he wanted for Christmas, sent it to his mom, and CC'd my friend. To be fair, my friend did ask him to send her his Christmas wish list, but she never expected him to send the same list to his mother at the same time.
She's a little freaked out because she thinks this is a sign of him moving too quickly.

WEST ALLIS, Wis. – Sarah Palin rallied thousands of abortion opponents Friday night with a a stark warning that the same philosophy that allows abortion rights could soon be invoked to allow the government to cut off health care for the elderly or children with special needs.
Speaking to a fund-raising banquet of Wisconsin Right to Life, the former Alaska governor and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee asserted that if policy-makers don’t believe a child in the womb is valuable, then “perhaps the same mind-set applies to other persons.”
“What may they feel about an elderly person who doesn’t have a whole lot of productive years left,” Palin asked an audience of about 5,000 who paid $30 each to hear her speak in an airplane hangar-like exhibition hall at the Wisconsin state fairgrounds just outside of Milwaukee.
Your fashion challenged Sugar bud is in desperate need of some advice!
I'm going to my very first ballet this Friday (on my b-day!) and I have been trying to figure out what the heck to wear over my dress. After attempting to decide all week long, I decided it was probably time to enlist some help.

Analysis: Where was the downtown rally? Obama’s Madison visit a hallmark of his mild presidency By JOHN NICHOLS Analysis: Where was the downtown rally? Obama's Madison visit a hallmark of his mild presidencyOne year ago Tuesday, Barack Obama redefined American electioneering to such an extent that it was possible to believe that the success of his transformational campaign would lead to a transformational presidency.Health care businesses at risk in House overhaul
WASHINGTON – The health care overhaul bill produced by House Democrats would impose an array of new taxes, fees and government mandates on major players in the health industry, including insurers, doctors and drugs and medical devices makers. In most cases, the pain has been meted out with an eye toward raising the money needed to finance President Barack Obama's plan for reshaping the health system but also with careful regard for gaining the votes that will be needed to pass a final bill. Democrats hope to vote next week on the measure, which would extend health coverage to tens of millions of Americans who don't have it, impose sweeping new restrictions on private insurers and create a government-run insurance plan to compete with them.
