For when the body politic gets wild!
This is a great day for everyone, but especially for our GLBT friends and family. This is not the end of the struggle, but certainly the beginning of the end. There are no more logical reasons why gay people shouldn’t get married, and day by day less legal reasons why they shouldn’t. I am proud […]
At last! A judge ordered the FDA to allow the morning after pill, Plan B, to be available over the counter! Hurrah! Plan B is not my favorite pill to take, because it can be crampy and make you cranky, but seriously, the drug is as safe as anything and it’s important to have access […]

Exciting new development on the Plan B front! It seems that New York City is going to pioneer this badass new program in which girls as young as 14 will have access to over the counter emergency contraception from school nurses. They have so far been sneaky about revealing plans and testing out the pilot […]
