Why did it take almost 3 years for PLAN B to be approved for “over the counter” use?
The Food and Drug Administration approved an application 3 months ago making the long-debated emergency contraceptive Plan B, commonly known as the "morning-after pill", available without a prescription to women 18 and older.
The FDA said Barr Laboratories, the maker of Plan B, could begin selling the drug.
Many social conservatives in and out of Congress have battled to keep the drug from becoming available without a prescription. Some say that could encourage promiscuity, and others say use of the pill causes a very early abortion. Their position had for almost three years trumped an overwhelming medical and scientific consensus that the drug could be safety dispensed by a pharmacist without a prescription. Why do the Conservatives always try to put road blocks in front of issues related to women’s health issues, without having the right facts?

what is goin on with my bf?

at 1st everything was perfect it seemed like we had no problems at all we have everything in common and we luv spendin time together it feels like weve known each other for a lifetime we've even talked about a future together for our 1 month anniversary he went all out. he spent ALOT of money on me and everything. but lately, i feel like things arent like they used to be. we dont talk 2 each other as much, he doesnt say i luv u as much at 1st anymore. i jus feel like things arent the same. although we still love each other, the other day he went 2 days without talkin to me. i called him but he never returned my calls. he finally called and his excuse was that he was busy wit work and he had alot of family problems and he said he was sorry and jus cuz he didnt call didnt mean he wasnt thinkin bout me,but still to me thats no excuse. i dont get it, how could we go from being so perfect to this? im startin to feel like im initiating everything. i havent changed at all. whats goin on?

When i tell my boyfriend things he says he doesnt believe me and tells me to prove it and that i have to figure out how to prove it. is this normal and does he just want reassurance?

when i say i miss him
when i say he's the only one
when i say i want to talk to him
when i say i want to be with him
etc...
