#300. Une taxe contre le viol.

Simple comme un « bonjour ». On trempe son doigt dans son verre, et le verni change de couleur si il y a la présence de GHB (Drogue sous forme de pastille soluble, souvent utilisée par des violeurs car elle rend la victime inerte et crée des pertes de mémoire qui rend l’accusation pour viol difficile).

« Ou sinon tu gardes ton verre en main connasse ! » Si c’était aussi simple, comme cette…

That moment when you get the sex talk from your parents. Wasn't so bad.

Hey lovelies, I heard that antibiotic medication causes ineffectiveness in birth control pills. What are the chances of getting pregnant if I've been on the pill for several months but I've been taking antibiotics for 3 days?

Hi gorg, you are right, some types of antibiotics can cause the contraceptive pill not to be effective. However, you’ll have to speak to your doctor about this, because it depends on the specific type of antibiotic and the type of pill you are on. And I’m by no means a professional :-)

Regardless of how long you’ve been taking the pill or the antibiotics for, it can possibly have an effect - time has nothing to do with it. This link might provide you with some more helpful information.

What I hate about a lot of pro-life rhetoric is the accusations of women being unfeeling or hardened against the act they're committing. Most women who have abortions are not skipping in to the clinic treating it like their birth control. These are women that have no where to turn. They can't support a child; their partner left them; their family kicked them out; their "pro-life" employer will fire them for having pre marital sex. A lot of women feel relief after their abortions, both immediately after as well as well months or years down the road. What does that say about our society? That the financial hardships and social stigma of being a poor, single mother is so great that a woman would rather kill her child than to force it to live in that situation along with her? To have an abortion rather than see her child's chances at graduating high school, much less college fall down the drain; while her chances at becoming a young unwed mother skyrocket? To be referred to by the same politicians trying to block her access to abortion also refer to her as selfish and lazy for taking advantage of food stamps and TANG to support that child they assured her was so precious and important? We need to change the way we view and approach these populations. We need to provide at-risk women with ALL the tools they need to avoid an unplanned pregnancy, including education and access to contraception. We need to stop demonizing facilities that provide these services just because some of them also provide abortions. And we need to stop convincing women that their baby is alive and of value until the time comes that that child needs food and daycare. Pro life has to go beyond life in the womb, and cover the life in the real world as well.

They have a Tumblr. It's 1-flesh(.)tumblr(.)com. But their website is 1flesh(.)org. They promote contraception-free sex and even have an article on why condoms are "lame". Worst part is, they try to appeal to teenagers. They claim they're "bringing sexy back".

I've looked around on it and found that it seems to be an organisation that created their version of NFP, only instead of teaching people how to do it, they want to make money off of it. They claim it is inexpensive, but while it may be "inexpensive" in the long run, there seems to be a lot of clump sums in the beginning (I took to wikipedia because their own sites were not straight forward about what they would be doing, but it seems to be involving quite a few doctor trips and even ultrasounds).

Their site has a lot of research backing everything up... from the 50's to the 90's. The newest form of reasearch is from 1999, but most of it is from the 70's to the 90's, with only a handful after 1995.

So what they're doing is aiming all of this at teenagers who don't have a large understanding of preventing pregnancies, their own bodies, never mind the fact that a lot of people don't have regular cycles until several years after their first period... It's dangerous, especially when this blog is run by college students who boast about this thing, but end up not telling us a single thing of how to do it. There is no link on the website how to follow their method, they just think you should! No way in, just... garbage.

I'm all for educating peple and understanding that birth control may not be the best option for everyone. However we need to understand individual choice and educate people of ALL choices. You cannot claim your method is the best, give no guidance how to, say that birth control is baaad and we should just have sex without it all... then you NEED to say how to. You NEED to, otherwise you are luring people into a false sense of security that'll end up with them getting pregnant.

Really, I'm all for there not being a necessity for birth control, because it is a medication with side effects, and it is an extra cost that we probably all would want to do without; but it's the reality that birth control is needed. We have people with irregular periods, relationships that don't work around or menstrual cycles, and generally just life, where mistakes happen, and really... most of us are adults capable of making our own decisions, why should a site like that come around and start treating us like children that need to be helped?

They also seem to be a political based group, not just interested in the health of women (when are they ever interested in that?). They are opposed "socialistic health care" (Obamacare I guess), and against socialism as a whole. They're also, obviously, against the HHS mandate, which suggest they're not for individual choice but force (wouldn't be surprised if they end up being catholic, pro-life and believe that you should remain abstinent until marriage and slut-shame on a regular basis).

Basically, this would've been GREAT if they were marketing it as an option instead of contraception, instead of the only valid option, if they actually talked about how you follow this option... but they're not doing this. So what they're doing is, in my opinion, dangerous.
