Question: Why did you get this product in the first place when there are so many other contraceptives on the market?

Please tell me how many children in the USA are “awaiting adoption”. That don’t have severe medical needs. We just had a foster child who is the recipient of abuse get sent back to his parents. Do you have any idea what you’re talking about?

Despite all the horrible things Trump said, people still voted for him because they wanted to believe that doing so would improve their situation.

Wow. The responses to this post are surprising. I’m nowhere near a millenial, I’m closer to an “old”, and I’ve watched airline behavior steadily plummet. Back before the days of 9/11, I watched helplessly as Delta manhandled two young girls off a plane, threaten them with jail, and lock them in a room all because…

And airlines like United, those thieves, that charge you $6.99 to watch anything on their per-seat screens.

I think the last book, where JK Rowling has characters like his brother and Harry say things quite detrimental about Dumbledore, and finding out his past, is the revelation that Dumbledore made a lot of bad mistakes as well. Just like Snape wasn’t fully irredeemable, Dumbledore wasn’t fully good either.

This is truly amazing. It’s why Twitter was invented.

I know it’s cool to be mean to people on the internet, but I actually DO have a disabled child. Which is why I know how hard it is, and why I know I couldn’t care for two with a severe disability.

If you say so. Seven years in academia, four author papers in decent journals (though never the coveted Nature, just mostly PNAS and the Journal of Immunology), 80 hour workweeks, and an idiot PI can tell you otherwise, but I’m loathe to put my real name in this comment cesspool.

I have a Ph.D in microbiology and immunology, and I agree with the OP. So now that’s okay?

So you really think that the idea to give the Hep B vaccine at birth was a purely scientific decision, and not, say, a decision made in order to minimize burdening parents with making doctor appointments?

Hepatitis B, for one. Rotateq, for another.

The CDC also bases this schedule on the working assumption that parents are too lazy to get their kids shots past the first year of life.

You think we should do away with fertility science because there are 7 billion people? So. . we should do away with all medical science then, set on bettering the lives of others and extending our lifespan. We should just get on that eugenics program and kill all the weaklings. Because. There are 7 billion people.

Late to this game, but if you’re going to start talking about cost benefit analysis and applying morality clauses to health care, you’re treading a slippery slope indeed.

I can’t stop watching this, and laughing.

This comment made me laugh and laugh.

Honest question, though, in most states Medicaid reimbursements are so low that most doctors don’t even accept it. Medicaid cuts or no, the death of Medicaid started long before Trump thought about running for office.

I live in the health metropolis - LA. Everyone is running, jogging, dieting, eating avocados only with a sprinkle of sea salt (all organic), treating all juices and sodas like the devil itself. They’ve never smoked, not even pot. They bike for hours for fun, and bike to work. They go to spin classes and yoga. They…

The implementation of Obamacare was important to our family because it admitted something America has struggled to admit for a long time: it admitted that my brother is a full citizen, deserving of the same protections as someone born with muscles and tendons more capable of Making America Great.
