OIL SUBSIDYS-SLUTS?-RELIGIOUS ZEALOTS…

Posted on by
RT@Mackiebzn SnteBgOil$ http://nyti.ms/yknsxh In 2005, Prsdnt G. W. Bsh: “With $55 oil, we don’t need incentives to oil & gas..” $106 nw?
If those arguments aren’t enough, we offer the Senate some words from President Bush. In a 2005 address to the American Society of Newspaper Editors, Mr. Bush spoke forcefully of the need for an energy strategy that looked to the long term and emphasized conservation and renewable fuels.

I would eliminate all subsidys to oil companies. They are profiting billions of $’s/yr. and we are giving them billions more of taxpayer $.

5 CRITICAL REASONS FOR LOW COST CONTRACEPTION COVERAGE..

Posted on by
ARE THE REPUBLICANS TRYING TO TAKE US BACK TO COAT HANGERS? HERE THEY GO WITH THESE MEN TRYING TO CONTROL WOMEN’S BODIES. NOW MOST WOMEN HAVE TO WORK OUT SIDE THE HOME. WHAT IF THEY DON’T WANT OR CAN AFFORD ANOTHER CHILD? WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IF SHE LOSES WHO JOB BECAUSE SHE BECOMES PREGNANT? HOW IS THAT GOING TO AFFECT HER FAMILY AND THERE INCOME? Below are a view highlights, etc. There is so much more you need to know.
 
THEY’RE EVEN TRYING TO SET IT UP WHERE THE EMPLOYER WILL DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT THEY SHOULD HELP…….
 
 
2) Contraception has numerous health benefits. A Harvard Medical School study found that oral contraceptives reduced the risk of ovarian cancer by 10 to 12 percent during the first year of use and by about 50 percent after five years of use. It also prevents significant health risks to women and infants by allowing women and couples to achieve healthy birth intervals and prevent unintended pregnancy. Having too short a gap between pregnancies has been linked to negative health outcomes, like low birth weight, preterm birth, and small size for gestational age. Unintended pregnancy is also linked to several negative outcomes for women and children’s health, including delayed attainment of prenatal care, economic hardships, and relationship problems. Publicly funded contraceptive services have decreased unintended pregnancy among health center clients by as much as 78 percent, studies show.
 
AND
 
5) It’s about more than birth control. As important as contraception is, the preventive care regulation is about more than access to birth control. It covers a wide range of services specific to women’s health, including cancer screening with Pap smears, HPV DNA testing, mammograms, and colonoscopies; domestic violence screening and counseling; and breastfeeding supports, among others. It also insures services like immunizations, dietary counseling, and cholesterol and blood pressure screening, to name only a few, to 54 million men, women, and children.
