Bleeding
File under:
Women's Issues
I swear that I've been bleeding for something like 4 months on and off. About 3 weeks ago I went and saw a new gynecologist. Before I was having my family doctor do the pap smears but now that I'm with a guy, i thought time to have a gynecologist again. I wanted him to switch my bc pills because the one I was on was making me bleed every day. He didn't tell me that by switching to a new birth control pill I would have a period for like 3 weeks straight. If I don't stop bleeding soon, I'm going to go insane.

Last night Jeff and I were watching Family guy with his best friend. I was completely exhausted from running around all weekend and was on the verge of collapse when we sat down to watch family guy. Normally, I love the show, but I'm tempted to send a nasty email to fox and the Family Guy producers. THEY MADE FUN OF RAPE VICTIMS, and compared a guy getting a prostate exam to getting raped. Half way through the show, I stood up and said I couldn't watch any more and went into the room where Simba is. I heard the two guys talking and told them not to change the channel for me and prompted to start sobbing all over Simba. A few minutes later Jeff came in and comforted me. His best friend offered to leave and did so a few minutes later. I'm so embarrased about the entire thing and Jeff totally understood and said that Vasili (best friend) totally understood and no one thought anything of it. They said they're embarrased about being men sometimes and could understand why I was upset. This man is amazing!!

I too was upset by the episode. As a female who is currently trying to find research to help write a book about a male rape victim, I find jokes about male rape offensive to the 90,000 men who are raped outside of prison.
you know, a good way to tell more about someone is by the company he keeps. i think it says wonders about jeff that he is not only so kind himself but that he has such compassionate friends. good for them for conveying their embarrassment and care to you in a way that didn't make you feel stupid or small! what nice guys.

Wal-Mart Ordered To Stock Contraceptives In Mass.
File under:

HA!
BOSTON -- The state board that oversees pharmacies voted Tuesday to require Wal-Mart to stock emergency contraception pills at its Massachusetts pharmacies, a spokeswoman at the Department of Public Health said.
The unanimous decision by the Massachusetts Board of Pharmacy comes two weeks after three women sued Wal-Mart in state court for failing to carry the so called "morning after" pill in its Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores in the state.
The women argue state policy requires pharmacies to provide all "commonly prescribed medicines."
The board has sent a letter to Wal-Mart lawyers informing them of the decision, said health department spokeswoman Donna Rheaume. Wal-Mart has until Thursday to provide written compliance.
Dan Fogleman, a spokesman for Bentonville, Ark.-based Wal-Mart, said the company hadn't heard about the decision, but would comply with any order.
Wal-Mart carries the pill in Illinois only, where it is required under state law. The company has said it "chooses not to carry many products for business reasons," but declined to elaborate.

Dead Egg Walking!
File under:
Women's Issues
While Kat and I were in Provincetown on vacation, we saw a comedian one night who was freaking hysterical. She was a lesbian and was particularly annoyed that lesbians, who don't typically need our plumbing have to suffer the indignities of our period. She insisted that the transvestites should have to deal with our monthly visitors. She was talking about our periods obviously, and screams out at one point Dead Egg Walking! Kat and I were almost on the floor we were laughing so hard. So now when we get our periods we'll just say Dead Egg Walking.

U.S. Supreme Court agrees to review state's abortion law
From CNN
New Hampshire wants notification rule reinstated
Monday, May 23, 2005 Posted: 12:38 PM EDT (1638 GMT)
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. Supreme Court, re-entering the abortion debate amid burgeoning speculation about Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist's retirement, agreed Monday to hear an appeal of a decision striking down a state parental notification law.
Justices will review a lower court ruling that struck down such a law in New Hampshire. The Boston-based 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the 2003 law was unconstitutional because it didn't provide an exception to protect the minor's health in the event of a medical emergency.

The decision to review the emotional case, which also comes at a time of bitterly partisan fighting in the Senate over President Bush's nominees for federal judgeships, will be heard in the next term beginning in October. Liberal groups have vowed to fight any Rehnquist replacement who opposes the high court's landmark 1973 decision legalizing abortion.
"Boy, it does make for an interesting summer -- potential chief justice retirement, the filibuster fight and the Supreme Court delving into the abortion issue once again," said Jay Sekulow, chief counsel for the conservative American Center for Law and Justice.
Jennifer Dalven, the American Civil Liberties Union lawyer handling the case, said: "We are welcoming the opportunity to put to rest any lingering questions about whether a woman's right to an abortion is entitled to full constitutional protection."
In their appeal, New Hampshire officials argued that the abortion law need not have an "explicit health exception" because other state provisions call for exceptions when the mother's health is at risk. They also asked justices to clarify the legal standard that is applied when reviewing the constitutionality of abortion laws.
The New Hampshire law required that a parent or guardian be notified if an abortion was to be done on a woman under 18. The notification had to be made in person or by certified mail 48 hours before the pregnancy was terminated.
In its last major abortion decision in 2000, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that state abortion laws must provide an exception to protect the mother's health. Justices at the time reasoned that a Nebraska law, which banned so-called "partial-birth" abortions, placed an "undue burden" on women's abortion rights.
Since then, several lower courts have applied that health exception to abortion laws requiring parental notification. The New Hampshire case challenged whether the Supreme Court's 2000 ruling actually required that.
Abortion laws are "entirely different than parental involvement laws, which obviously do not purport to ban abortions, but simply seek to promote the interests of minors in having the benefit of parental involvement," New Hampshire legislators wrote in a friend-of-the-court filing.
Earlier this year, justices declined to hear a challenge to the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling by the woman known as "Jane Roe" who was at the center of the historic case.
It also declined to consider reinstating an Idaho law requiring girls under age 18 to get parental consent for abortions except under the most dire of medical emergencies.
The latest case is Ayotte v. Planned Parenthood, 04-1144.

Ugh. I don't even want to think about that today...
In my opinion, it's only a matter of time before Roe vs. Wade is reversed or they try to reverse it. It's a damned shame what that jackass of a president is doing to this country.

Kansas AG demands abortion records

I think I'm going to scream. From CNN
Full records include women's sexual histories
TOPEKA, Kansas (AP) -- The Kansas attorney general is demanding abortion clinics turn over the complete medical records of nearly 90 women and girls, saying he needs the material for an investigation into underage sex and illegal late-term abortions.
Two clinics are fighting the request in Kansas Supreme Court, saying the state has no right to such personal information.
read more ?
But Attorney General Phill Kline, an abortion opponent, insisted Thursday: "I have the duty to investigate and prosecute child rape and other crimes in order to protect Kansas children."
Kline is seeking the records of girls who had abortions and women who received late-term abortions. Sex involving someone under 16 is illegal in Kansas, and it is illegal in the state for doctors to perform an abortion after 22 weeks unless there is reason to believe it is needed to protect the mother's health.
Kline spoke to reporters after details of the secret investigation, which began in October, surfaced in a legal brief filed by attorneys for two medical clinics. The clinics argued that unless the high court intervenes, women who obtained abortions could find government agents knocking at their door.
The clinics said Kline demanded their complete, unedited medical records for women who sought abortions at least 22 weeks into their pregnancies in 2003, as well as those for girls 15 and younger who sought abortions. Court papers did not identify the clinics.
The records sought include the patient's name, medical history, details of her sex life, birth control practices and psychological profile.
The clinics, which said nearly 90 women and girls would be affected, are offering to provide records with some key information, including names, edited out.
"These women's rights will be sacrificed if this fishing expedition is not halted or narrowed," the clinics said in court papers.
On October 21, state District Judge Richard Anderson ruled that Kline could have the files. The clinics then filed an appeal with the high court. No hearing has been scheduled.
The clinics outlined their legal arguments in a brief filed Tuesday. Though other documents in the case remain sealed, the brief filed Tuesday was not, and The Wichita Eagle disclosed Kline's investigation in a story published Thursday.
In their brief, the clinics' attorneys said a gag order prevents the clinics from even disclosing to patients that their records are being sought. Attorneys declined to comment Thursday, citing the order.
"You can see our desire to discuss as much as possible, but we feel constrained," said attorney Lee Thompson.
Thompson declined to say if his client was Dr. George Tiller, whose Wichita clinic is known as a provider of late-term abortions and is a frequent target of abortion opponents.
Kline would not discuss the scope of the investigation. Recently, Kline's office helped Texas authorities gather information from Tiller regarding a pregnant teenager who sought his care and died in Kansas.
Kline began pushing in 2003 to require health care professionals to report underage sexual activity. Kline contends state law requires such reporting, but a federal judge blocked him. The case has yet to be resolved.

Ack! Those clinics had BETTER respect the doctor/patient privilege. He doesn't want to investigate underage sex and abortions, he wants to dig up dirt on people. JMHO.
Since federal law already requires physicians to report any suspect or possible case of child abuse, the AG doesn't stand a snowball's chance of getting those records. It's all political blustering to try and get enough momentum to change the law once the court knocks him on his pompous ass.

Flashbacks
File under:
Women's Issues
On Saturday, Kat and I had gone to see the movie House of Flying Daggers.. Recently, movies haven't been giving me flashbacks to when I was raped. However, during this movie I had them start back up which lead to an emotionally rocky weekend. I did end up calling Mother Sugar like a good pixie but I wasn't able to talk- I felt emotionally frozen and couldn't get my emotiions all unbottled. Ironically enough, when we went to go see Paperclips, it was only showing at the theater where I was raped. I didn't have flashbacks that time. Odd huh?
