Internet, I have an announcement!
I start Evra, The Patch, today.
I was getting lax with my Pill and I took My Method on Planned Parenthood’s Website. Until I finished it I didn’t know there was such a thing. Weekly birth control? Yes please! ^__^
I’m wearing it proudly on my shoulder and am far too excited.
If you want to see if your method is right for you, try it!

I am all about the Patch! I have an alarm set on my phone to go off every Tuesday to remind me to change it, and so far I’ve only messed up once in a year and a half. I can’t imagine trying to take a pill at the same time every single day, I just - no.
I’m pretty happy with the Pill, but I’m glad y’all are happy! If I switched to the Patch, I’d probably spend a lot of time drawing on them so they look colorful and awesome.
That was my original plan, but you can’t. >__<
The ink might interfere with the hormones so there’s no writing allowed.
I was gonna have a new tramp-stamp every week, but no such luck.

Definition of Birth control
Birth control: Birth control is the use of any practices, methods, or devices to prevent pregnancy from occurring in a sexually active woman. Also referred to as family planning, pregnancy prevention, fertility control, or contraception; birth control methods are designed either to prevent fertilization of an egg or implantation of a fertilized egg in the uterus.

Abortion is not a form of contraception, because it doesn’t prevent a life from being formed, it destroys it.
Also, I will not always reblog you, as I don’t see why I need to when it’s clear that you purposely go out of your way to find posts about something you disagree on, just so you can bully pro-lifers with your biased and anti-women bullshit; I think it’s really sad.
I’ll reblog you if I feel the need; Unlike some, I’m not even dictated to by the law, so don’t expect me to do something just because you think it will be easier.
…Sounds familiar that doesn’t it ;).
I understand why you won’t reblog me, it means you can ignore utterly the points I made, as you have right here.
Again, 85% of women getting an abortion were using at least one method of contraception, nothing is 100%, not even sterilization.
Anti-abortion laws destroy lives, 70,000 of them a year, 60% of which are already mothers. That’s not even counting the millions that suffer severe complications.
And I’m curious, if you support contragestion (Contraceptives that are effective after fertilization) then how can you claim that abortion is the only thing destroying a life?
Eggs and Sperm are alive, zygotes are alive. Male masturbation and menstruation cause those living cells to die. Contragestion prevents a zygote from implanting, thus resulting in the death of that zygote.
Fetuses are alive and they are human, I’ve never argued against this. Fetuses are not persons though, which is why they cannot be given rights.
However, I feel that women are unquestionably persons and they therefore have rights. This includes the right to decide what happens to her body, when she has sex, who she has sex with and when, where and how she reproduces.
I support laws that save women’s lives. You support laws that kill 70,000 women and maim millions more every year.
You’re the one who is anti-woman.

REPORT OF THE APA TASK FORCE ON MENTAL HEALTH AND ABORTION (2008) →
“The TFMHA evaluated all empirical studies published in English in peer-reviewed journals post-1989 that compared the mental health of women who had an induced abortion to the mental health of comparison groups of women (N=50) or that examined factors that predict mental health among women who have had an elective abortion in the United States (N=23). This literature was reviewed and evaluated with respect to its ability to address four primary questions: (1) Does abortion cause harm to women’s mental health? (2) How prevalent are mental health problems among women in the United States who have had an abortion? (3) What is the relative risk of mental health problems associated with abortion compared to its alternatives (other courses of action that might be taken by a pregnant woman in similar circumstances)? And, (4) What predicts individual variation in women’s psychological experiences following abortion?”
Spoiler:
“Nonetheless, it is clear that some women do experience sadness, grief, and feelings of loss following termination of a pregnancy, and some experience clinically significant disorders, including depression and anxiety. However, the TFMHA reviewed no evidence sufficient to support the claim that an observed association between abortion history and mental health was caused by the abortion per se, as opposed to other factors.”

America is filled today with feminist women—who are defiant against their husbands, demanding, self-righteous, and willing to file for divorce. Oh the shame and misery which the sin of feminism has brought upon America’s families! Everywhere we go nowadays, we are bombarded with domestic abuse propaganda, but never a word is said about rebellious wives or careless mothers. Instead of women being homemakers, dressing modestly (1st Timothy 2:9), obeying their husbands (Ephesians 5:24), and behaving themselves as the Bible commands; they have allowed feminist ideologies to brainwash them into becoming independent, immodest, and irresponsible.
If you get beaten, it’s your own damn fault! Put on some clothes, hooker!

Yeah there’s nothing to be said here….
And the newest reason why you should love planned parenthood – is because they are giving away FREE emergency contraceptive (next choice pills) from now until the end of december. all you have to do is show a picture ID and they will give you several packs for free (I took three… so lemme know if you need one in case you don’t get to planned parenthood this month). EC is normally $30 at planned parenthood and around $55 if you get it from a place like wegmans. so just go get some! it doesn’t expire until the middle of 2011. ya never know when you or a friend might need some EC.
For serious?
Is this international or just in the States?
*would love to get her hands on some for her and her friends*
I can’t find anything about this promotion online. Can anybody confirm / deny? ‘Cause if it’s true and nationwide, I’m taking my ass to Nashville ASAP.
I think this is it:

Too bad it was in 2006 :/ (The article is dated at the bottom.)
For serious? Damn…
There were a bunch of articles, I’ll look again in a minute…
Claim 1: Planned Parenthood lied about the distinction between a fetus and a baby. Abby Johnson, the Planned Parenthood director-turned-anti-abortion activist, says, “Planned Parenthood really tries to instill in their employees and the women that are coming in for abortions that this is not a baby.” Obviously, the fetus/baby distinction is a key part of the abortion debate. A Planned Parenthood doctor does appear to muddy the waters a bit when he says on camera that a fetus becomes a baby “when you’re like seven months pregnant or so. Six, seven months pregnant.” This does indeed sound arbitrary and confusing. Another Planned Parenthood employee gives a better response: A fetus is what’s in the uterus right now. That’s not a baby. A baby is what’s born at forty weeks. No matter what you believe about abortion, “fetus” is the correct medical term for the developmental stage between embryo and birth. If anti-abortion activists don’t want to use it, that’s up to them — but it’s not a lie.
