Elizabeth Kraft that class was great.
"I’ve got two daughters who will have to make their way in this skinny-obsessed world, and it worries me, because I don’t want them to be empty-headed, self-obsessed, emaciated clones; I’d rather they were independent, interesting, idealistic, kind, opinionated, original, funny - a thousand things, before ‘thin’. And frankly, I’d rather they didn’t give a gust of stinking chihuahua flatulence whether the woman standing next to them has fleshier knees than they do. Let my girls be Hermiones, rather than Pansy Parkinsons. Let them never be Stupid Girls." – J.K. Rowling
Fetching pins…
Ashlie Dill this makes me think of something else too... If we're concerned about synthetic hormones in our milk and meat, why are we not as concerned about synthetic hormones in birth control? BC is actually classified a class one carcinogen..."While combined oral contraceptives, better known as The Pill, rank as Group I carcinogens according to a 2005 report released by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, an arm of the World Health Organization, doctors continue to routinely prescribe the pill for a variety of conditions, ranging from acne to birth control (American Cancer Society, 2008)...." Interesting. Who's benefiting from this? Women or pharmaceutical companies?
Elizabeth Kraft At the hospital, we also see a lot of women in their 20s getting pulmonary embolisms because of oral BC.
