Zach,

We've got here a socialist policy regarding contraception and abortion, specially for youngsters. It didn't decrease the number of abortions. More, AIDS did increase this number because young couples don't use contraceptive pills as much as before; they've been told they have to use condoms.

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.
