Buffer Bill passed!! Back up 35ft in Mass!!

On November 13th 2007 Governor Deval Patrick signed the Buffer Zone bill that was passed through the Senate and the House in weeks prior. This means a visible, enforceable, 35ft perimeter around health care providers such as Planned Parenthood. This is a monumental step towards provided safe health care for all people. No longer will men and women have to be harassed when they are simple going to the doctors. Bravo MA!! Thank you to organizations such as the NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts, for making my life safer and protecting my rights!

I swear we're not crazy--It's simply our physiological makeup

I recommend this book more so to men then I do to women. Us ladies already know that crazy things happen to our bodies, not just once a month but all the time!! The Female Brain explains what exactly is going on in our head and bodies that make us act the way that we do. Although the book has some physiological terms it's enjoyable to read--I promise it's not like reading a text book for a Bio class--I skimmed right threw it in a few hours (and I am a slow reader).

Any man who is planning on having a relationship with a woman should read this book--also all you fathers out there you may want to pick up a copy while you're at it...it'll make those teenage years a whole lot easier..or at least easier to understand.

Female Ejaculation can be up to 2 cups!

Thought this was pretty interesting stuff...Yes females do ejaculate, psychotherapist Lisa S. Lawless, Ph.D talks all about it in her movie. This art form is also known as the "g-spot's kissing cousin"
A lot of people are not aware of this woman's wonder but it is true and it does occur.

Behind the locker room doors

There's something extremely liberating about a women's locker room...or maybe it was just because I was naked...hahaha. No, but seriously, when I'm there no one seems to notice or care that I haven't shaved in a few days. There's a mutual respect and comfort found in that locker room. When I'm in there my mind and body are somehow aligned, and I am at peace with all my imperfections.

Women, War and PTSD

“I didn’t really start having mental issues until we got home,” says Keli Frasier Army reservist, who watched her squad leader die in Iraq.

It seems women are more likely to be diagnosed with PTSD than men who have been to Iraq.

Read more of this article The Women's War from the NY Times which speaks about women's experiences with PTSD after returning from war. There's a multimedia video that's pretty interesting too.

Online Appointments

Planned Parenthoods in and around the Boston area are taking appointments via internet.

Pretty cool, quick and easy..a lot better than being on hold for 15 minutes.

Women get an inch..the government takes a mile

After much struggle women finally made some headway with the arrival of the long awaited Plan B to be sold over the counter.

However, now it seems like the FDA has other plans for the Women's Health Office funds.

Oh yeah..apparently some people weren't too happy with Plan B being sold over the counter, so they decided to cut the Women's Health Office funds from 4 million down to 2.8 mil. Thanks a lot.
