I still don't buy your argument about birth control providing health benefits to women. ezwater New

So there is no health benefit preventing pregnancy at an older age? dangore New

You need to look at the actual numbers for chromosomal damage in women over 35. ezwater New

Like these numbers? dangore New

Matter of value judgement. I don't consider 1 in 385, for example, to be much of a risk. Remember that ezwater New

If it was psychologically beneficial for most men and women to get cable, should that be insured? ezwater New

I don't see it as necessary that birth control be covered by health insurance, unless the woman has ezwater New

If you and EZ want to have a little chat don't do it in public DangerJudy New

She only pointed out that the Pill is dangerous in itself. And you can make a Molotov wiener out of a condom. <NT> ezwater New

is the pill the only form of birth control...? rustyboater New

note

All the hormonal ones have similar concerns DangerJudy New

antibiotics are certainly more closely related to preserving essential health and function than the Pill. ezwater New

I would expect most people to believe that humans *must* have sex, and *won't* do it or delay it likes

So we should not support education in any form? Everybody should be home schooled? <NT> dangore New
