Leyla W. couldn’t figure out where her birth control pills kept going. One day a few tablets would be missing; the next, the whole container. Her then-boyfriend shrugged and said he hadn’t seen them. She believed him—until she found them in his drawer. When she confronted him, he hit her. “That was his way of shutting me up,” says Leyla, who is in her mid-20s and living in Northern California. (For her safety, Leyla wishes to withhold her last name and hometown.)

In 1997, 15-year-old Tina Anderson became pregnant after being raped repeatedly by an older man she knew from church. Shockingly, when her pastor found out, he forced her to apologize in front of the entire congregation in Concord, New Hampshire, and then promptly helped whisk her away to live in Colorado.

the Facts Behind the Lives of the Child Snatchers

United Kingdom

by Portia

In my role as an independent supporter, adviser, and advocate for children and protective parents over the last 15 years, I have encountered and observed many situations of domestic violence and the terrorising of mothers and children by abusive males.

As an example, my most recent case involved a mother with two children and the abject fears, which the abuser brought into their lives. After many years of suffering such violence in all its forms, physical, mental, emotional, sexual and financial, the protective mother was finally able to gather enough strength to escape with her children from the torture and torment of their persecutor and tormentor.

Twice a year, I get really lame-brained “Warning!” emails about the latest crimes against women and/or tips-for-the-gullible on how to stay safe. They are typically lumped under subject lines that say “Prevent Sexual Assault!” or “Caution: Criminals Lurk in Dumpsters” or some such nonsense. Given that I’m an expert in personal safety and self-defense, they are mind-bogglingly stupid to me and my colleagues at IMPACT Personal Safety…

Reproduction after man’s own kind is an acknowledged means of ensuring continuity of life. Reproductive health is, therefore, crucial to our continual existence on earth.

Unfortunately, the events of reproduction put so many burdens on us, especially females. We, as humans, need to harness all the resources available to us in order to meet these challenges, else we fall mentally ill when we succumb adversely to these reproductive events.

At least three medical associations promoted a vaccine for a sexually transmitted virus using funds provided by the vaccine’s manufacturer, according to an analysis being published in Wednesday’s issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.

The groups — the American College Health Association, the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology, and the Society of Gynecologic Oncologists — promoted Gardasil, which protects against a virus that can cause cervical cancer, using virtually the same strategy that Merck employed in its marketing campaign for the vaccine, the analysis concluded.

Plan B Drug Does Not Cause Abortions But Can Prevent Them

I believe in life and life at conception, but I don’t see how Plan B has anything to do with abortion. The drug in effect is not killing a baby. It is preventing a sperm from fertilizing an egg. I guess I just may not understand the pro-life argument for raising the age for Plan B purchasers because to me, it prevents a person from getting pregnant who then later will have to decide on whether or not to abort that child. Isn’t it better that we prevent those kinds of abortions before a child is even created?
