I am very pro choice, and proud to be so.
Being pro choice does NOT mean being pro abortion.
I would hate for that choice to be taken away from myself or my daughters.

Residents of a neighborhood next to the University of Arizona say small white rats have been swimming through sewer pipes and into their toilets.

In one sighting, Wastewater Management officials said a woman saw a rat in the toilet, left the toilet seat up and put down sticky trap paper in the bathroom. Then she closed the bathroom door so the rat couldn’t get into the rest of the house.
Once the rat got stuck on the paper, she threw it away.

The Pima County Health Department said it’s best not to handle or touch a toilet-surfing rat.

Handle it? As in touch it ? Are they kidding, oh my gawd!
I can tell you, if this happen to me, I would just die! Just reading it freaked me out.

First, yesterday Hallary Rodham Clinton’s swearing in broke ground as the largest number of women we’ve ever had in the Congress.
Today, Rep. Nancy Pelosi became the first woman speaker of the House of Representatives.

What an inspiration these women are.
To be able to tell our daughters that with enough hard work, they to can grow up to be what ever they want to be and mean it.

Former Iraq tyrant, Saddam Hussein, was sentenced to death by hanging Sunday morning for the massacre of countless civilians.

In an outburst of emotion, Hussein began screaming at the judge as the verdict was delivered.

He shouted, “Allahu Akbar!” (God is Greatest) and “Long live the nation! Long live the people and death to their enemies. Long live the glorious nation, and death to its enemies!”

Of note:

Sad. Are we ever just going to let women be real?

Chef makes wedding gown with cream puffs-

The dress, made of 1,500 cream puffs and weighing 20 pounds , took the 28-year-old baker two months to make, and by the end of the wedding reception, bride Viktoriya said she didn’t want to take it off.

Shtefano is a rising star in the field of baking as visual art, earning him a following in this city near the border with Slovakia.
His creations have generated a buzz in a place where cake is often layers of heavy cream, wafers and nuts or poppy seeds, more something to eat than to look at.

FDA OKs nonprescription ‘morning-after’ pill
Decision allows over-the-counter sale of Plan B for those 18 or older

The FDA announced it will allow Plan B, the so-called morning after pill, to be sold without a prescription to women 18 or older.
Updated: 11:46 a.m. ET Aug. 24, 2006

WASHINGTON - Women may buy the morning-after pill without a prescription — but only with proof they’re 18 or older, federal health officials decided Thursday. The Food and Drug Administration ruling culminated a contentious three-year effort to ease access to the emergency contraceptive.

Girls 17 and younger still will need a doctor’s note to buy the pills, called Plan B, the FDA told manufacturer Barr Pharmaceuticals Inc.

The compromise decision is a partial victory for women’s advocacy and medical groups which say eliminating sales restrictions could cut in half the nation’s 3 million annual unplanned pregnancies. Opponents have argued that wider access could increase promiscuity.

The long delay had ensnared President Bush’s nominee to head the FDA. On Thursday, two senators said they would lift their blockade, making confirmation of Dr. Andrew von Eschenbach as FDA’s commissioner likely next month.

The pills are a concentrated dose of the same drug found in many regular birth-control pills. Taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex, a woman can lower the risk of pregnancy by up to 89 percent. If she already is pregnant, the pills have no effect.

The earlier it’s taken, the more effective Plan B is. But it can be hard to find a doctor to write a prescription in time, especially on weekends and holidays. Hence the push to allow nonprescription sales.

Barr has said it hopes to begin nonprescription sales of Plan B by the end of the year. The pills will be sold only from behind the counter at pharmacies — so the pharmacist can check photo identification — but not at convenience stores or gas stations.

I am very pro choice but please do not confuse that with “pro abortion” ! Sadly too many people do.
This is not an abortion pill, when used correctly it stops the hormones before the egg even begin creating.
Just think how many women would have taken this pill at just the chance of becoming pregnant instead of waiting and then later aborting. I mean even rape victims alone. 
I don’t understand how any one could see this drug as not a good thing. No matter what side of choice you are on.
