Today, the White House has chosen to alter its healthcare mandate after Republicans decided to wage a war over it. Just to recap, in response to thousands of petitions and pleas from people around the country (including the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice and the National Council of Jewish Women), last month the Obama administration announced its modification to the new Affordable Care Act declaring that all religious-affiliated employers, with the exception of churches and other houses of worship, would have to cover free birth control as part of routine preventive care for women. This was seen as a victory all of the country -- that regardless to where a woman was employed, she would have access to affordable and effective birth control.
However, in an attempt mend their fractured party and rally their base, the Republicans decided that THIS would be the issue to bring their party together... crying that it's not fair that religiously affiliated organizations, like hospitals and universities, be required by our federal government to purchase insurance policies that violate their religious and moral convictions. Seriously? Of ALL the issues to claim unjust, THIS is the one the GOP decides to battle over? Read More...

People come up with all kinds of imaginative and playful ways to celebrate this day of honoring those you love. As a result of such creative ideas, people begin to wonder how "great" their ideas may actually be. On that notion, here is an excerpt from an email that I received from Hayley:
"I was thinking about surprising my fiancé with a romantic Valentine's Day bubble bath (he's been hinting that he would like to be a little more adventurous). Is this safe? We currently use condoms for protection because I am waiting to start the pill. My coworker mentioned that if the tub water was hot enough, his sperm would be killed or maybe it will just lower sperm his count? Any advice?"
Many people have misconceptions about the safety of under water sex. Read More...

I wanted to take a moment to send a round of applause to the officials at Shippensburg University. The Etter Heath Center at this public university in Pennsylvania is now offering students the convenience of buying Plan B One-Step from a campus vending machine -- a machine that also dispenses pregnancy tests and condoms.
According to Roger Serr, VP of student affairs, after surveying the student body, the university received an 85% response rate that students would be supportive of having this morning-pill easily available in the health center. Dr. Serr further explained that the student body is made up of approximately 3,718 females, and that each year, the school sells around 350-400 doses of Plan B One-Step to its female students.
Even more, Shippensburg University will not make any profit off these vending machine sales. Read More...
