What is your evidence that taking antibiotics causes pill failure?

(1) He's not the one that posted. (2) He's not the one who waited until 22+ weeks to decide that he might want a termination. (3) We have no idea what his attitude is, whether it's abandoning her, or marrying her and letting their family start. We pretty well know her attitude. (4) It ain't our fault that women have more to lose from the predictable consiequences of sexual activity. Perhaps, rather than bemoaning that fact, you should use it to encourage them not to begin sexual activity if they are not prepared to deal with the predictable consequences. Just a thought.

And, hey, maybe she's at Bible > college....bet they don't hand out contraception there :-)

I see. So if the college doesn't provide it, she can't possibly be expected to take care of it herlself. After all, women are stupid and powerless, and have to be taken care of, right?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
