11. Help Your Kids Dodge Pregnancy and STDs (U.S. News)
    "Broaching the subject may be awkward, but gradually it will get easier for both parent and child, Schuster assures parents. His main advice: Start well before kids hit puberty, and don't shy away from questions or you'll encourage them to turn elsewhere for information. Research, he says, suggests that the kids most likely to delay sex, and practice it safely once they start, are those who think about their future—full of dreams and ambitions—and whose parents communicate with them about sexuality. 'Parents can have a much greater influence than they realize,' says Schuster."

12. Preimplementation Genetic Diagnosis (Genetics and IVF Institute)
    Describes the PGD procedure. "Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) offers an alternative to more traditional methods of prenatal genetic testing (chorionic villous sampling or amniocentesis), and allows genetic analysis to be performed on early embryos prior to implantation and pregnancy. This provides couples at risk for certain genetic diseases the opportunity to know that any pregnancy they achieve should be unaffected." 6-02

13. Editorial - Missing: Media Focus on the Supreme Court (Fair.org - Solomon)
    "Though Bush and Kerry are inclined to understate the importance of potential new Supreme Court picks as they try to attract swing voters, Professor Dorf is unequivocal: 'A Bush victory will greatly increase the likelihood that Congress and the state legislatures will be able to ban most abortions at some point in the next four years. In contrast, a Kerry victory will almost surely preserve the status quo of legal abortion prior to the third trimester of pregnancy.' "
    
    "Already, Bush's impacts on the judiciary have been appreciable. Like the members of the Supreme Court, the federal judges on appeals and district court benches are appointed for life -- and in less than four years, Bush has chosen almost a quarter of all those judges nationwide." 9-04

14. Landmark Case - Roe v. Wade (Oyez.org)
    "The Court held that a woman's right to an abortion fell within the right to privacy (recognized in Griswold v. Connecticut) protected by the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision gave a woman total autonomy over the pregnancy during the first trimester and defined different levels of state interest for the second and third trimesters. As a result, the laws of 46 states were affected by the Court's ruling." 01-06

15. -02-26-06 South Dakota About to Pass Anti-Abortion Law (MSNBC News)
    "A direct attack on Roe v. Wade is coming from the South Dakota legislature. The new bill, which outlaws abortion, makes no exceptions, not for a pregnancy caused by incest or rape. It would only be legal—the only exception if it would save the pregnant woman's life."
    
    "Doctors who perform abortions could face up to five years in prison." 02-06

16. -12-22-07 When Motherhood Gets You Jail Time (Time.com)
    "Unwed and on welfare, Griffin, 28, walked into a Wisconsin court last May with one goal: She wanted to keep the man she says beat her throughout her pregnancy from winning joint custody of their son. Unwilling to listen to her own attorney, Griffin conducted her own clumsy, meandering cross-examination of the child's father, Ugandan citizen Matthew Sebuliba, and failed to convince the judge that the abuse had really occurred. Instead, she tried the patience of Judge Michael D. Guolee, who chided her for spurning Sebuliba, whom he called a good catch. 'We are going to force the mother to allow the father to be a father,' he said. 'Period. And if she doesn't, I will take the child away from you and give it to the father unless you totally cooperate.' " 12-07

17. -Editorial: What Do the Gloucester Pregnancies Mean? (Time.com)
    "While 750,000 teens become pregnant every year, that number is at its lowest level in 30 years, according to the Guttmacher Institute, down 36% from a peak in 1990. This does not suggest that we are witnessing a mass moral collapse, especially since abortion rates have fallen even faster. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, since the late 1980s the abortion rate for girls ages 15 to 17 fell 55%, and this year the overall U.S. abortion rate was at its lowest level since 1974."
    
    "Which brings us back to Gloucester. What if the visible leap in pregnancies is part of a different trend: kids aren't necessarily having more sex or more girls aren't getting pregnant, but more of those who do are deciding to keep the baby rather than abort it. In Oliver's case, she was on the Pill and the pregnancy was unintended. She made her own 'pact' with friends, she said, after they were already pregnant, so they could help one another get through it together." 06-08

18. Fighting Wrinkles (U.S. News)
    "Evidence does support another kind of topical—prescription creams containing retinoic acid, more commonly called tretinoin, which can actually rejuvenate skin, as University of Michigan researchers reported in the Archives of Dermatology last May. Retinoic acid works by gradually stimulating fresh collagen production, which helps stave off or reverse fine lines, says Leffell. 'There's no point at which you lose a benefit from starting [its] application,' says Kauvar, who frequently prescribes retinoic acid to patients in their 50s and 60s, just as she pre-emptively does for the younger set. Just one potential wrinkle: If used during pregnancy, it may cause birth defects." 01-09

19. 05-08-09 Obama Replaces Abstinence-Only Education (ABC News)

    "A recent study in the journal Pediatrics indicated that teenagers who make "virginity pledges" to remain chaste until marriage are no less likely to engage in premarital sex but significantly less likely to use birth control."
    
    " 'Taking a pledge doesn't seem to make any difference at all in any sexual behavior,' Janet E. Rosenbaum of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health told the Washington Post. 'But it does seem to make a difference in condom use and other forms of birth control that is quite striking.' " 05-09

28. Depression Treatment for Women (ABC News)
    "As I will remind you throughout this book, estrogen and serotonin are intimately related.When estrogen rises, as it does in the two weeks after your period and also during pregnancy, up goes serotonin, and with it your mood. But when estrogen falls, as it does before your period and also during the menopause transition or after delivering a baby, so does your mood and life can get difficult."
    
    "Add to all this Whammy #1, stress. Remember that serotonin is not only a neurotransmitter allowing brain cells to talk to each other, but also a buffer against stress."
    
    "There are three immediate steps you can take to help your brain make more serotonin and they're outlined in the Three-Week Cure: sunlight, exercise, and carbohydrate timing. There are also two bonus serotonin boosters: laughter and kindness. Learn jokes, visit comedy clubs, rent only comedies from your video store. And perform acts of kindness. People who regularly volunteer to help others have measurably higher levels of serotonin."
    
    "A February 2005 study in the British Medical Journal finally put to rest the effectiveness of St. John's wort as an antidepressant for people with moderate to severe depression. Half the study's partcipants took the antidepressant Paxil (paroxetine); the other half took a minimum 900 mg daily of St. John's wort. After six weeks on these regimens, one third of those taking the Paxil felt less depressed; but one half of those taking St. John's wort were less depressed. The well-designed study also showed that St. John's wort caused fewer side effects than Paxil." 01-06.
