Pharmacies nationwide restricting the sale of contraceptives Posted: 1 year ago by badbud
An increasing number of pharmacies, in an effort to impose their personal beliefs, are asserting what they call a "right of conscience" to not stock birth control in any form. This includes all birth control pills, condoms, sponges, and "emergency contraceptives" AKA the morning after pill.
"This allows a pharmacist who does not wish to be involved in stopping a human life in any way to practice in a way that feels comfortable"
***In an interesting and though provoking twist, these pharmacies are still stock prescription medications for erectile dysfunction, Viagra etc.***

Student suspended for two weeks for taking prescribed birth control medication Posted: 7 months ago by 2manyusernames
but wait! That's not the 'wtf' aspect. As unhappy and angry as the student was she accepted her punishment. However while home for two weeks she had plenty of time to read the student manual and she found that Rx birth control pills = 2 weeks suspension. High on heroin = 1 week suspension. Uh... run that by me again?

The Birth Control of Yesteryear Posted: 2 years ago by DaftGretel
The silphium plants were giant fennels which grew wild along the dry hillsides of the Mediterranean coast. It didn't take long for the Greek settlers to discover its value as a food source, and the vegetable flesh came to be prized as a delicious garnish, while pleasant perfumes were coaxed from its yellow blossoms. Over time further uses for the wild fennel were found, such as the resin extracted from its stalks and roots which was used to treat cough, sore throat, fever, indigestion, snake bite, "warts in the seat," epilepsy, and a host of other disagreeable ailments. But of all of the plant's virtues, the silphium was certainly most prized for its pregnancy-preventing properties.
