    HHS Moves to Define Contraception as Abortion

    I think we can expect an acceleration of unfathomable, unreasonable, unstomachable executive orders and administrative rulings in the final days of the Bush administration.

    The Democratic Congress, elected to a majority in ‘06 to end the Iraq war, has taken a huge bet in not impeaching and not confronting Bush and the GOP agenda in order to keep approval numbers low enough for a sweep in November. It’s a huge doubling down – gambling with nothing less than our democracy.

    New Yorkers try to swallow calorie sticker shock

    America has an obesity problem, but it’s in part because we’re surrounded by sugary carbs. This law is a great step towards creating awareness and driving demand towards leaner options (like the one mentioned anecdotally in the article – though I don’t recommend the steak).

    The Culture of Meat

     A humanity that would domesticate is not healthy.  Exploitation and slavery come to mind, as well as torture.  Given all the information available about the harms of animal products on the human body I am flabbergasted that people accept this ‘meat washing’.

    incorrect overdose of simple proteins

    no animal that eats meat naturally has to cook it

    intestine inflammation

    reduced energy and fatigue

    Maybe because I have never eaten it and observed the effects on others that I take this no intentional harm abuse or consumption of life stance.  good book: Eternal Treblinka

    Outrage brews as Ottawa set to honour Morgentaler

    there are several differences between a medical doctor who has not broken the law and a convicted pedophile serial killer. suggesting said convicted felon be freed?

    many canadians, the majority in fact are proud that our country enables women access to essential healthcare. these services save lives, often lives of the most vulnerable women in our society. there is a viable and empathetic middle way that combines health care, education, abstinence, birth control, and abortion. we need to look beyond our idealogy and meet the real needs of families in our communities.
