Conscience upheld in Arizona Courts
Without a conscience, what is a doctor, nurse, or pharmacist except a technician willing to follow the whims of law? (Again, this is not sound-bite material!) I received an e-mail from the American Defense Fund concerning the lawsuit against the State of Arizona by Planned Parenthood over a law to protect those of us in … Continue reading
Abstinence study: it works!
I’ve been reading about the Jemmotts’ work with inner city kids for a while. There’s an article in this month’s Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine – one of the American Medical Association journals – about a randomized trial of abstinence-only vs. “safer sex” with encouragement to use a condom. The results were a significant … Continue reading
Elections have consequences (abortion, contraceptives, committees)
ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopolis ran an interview with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi on Sunday, January 25, 2009. The transcript is here.

ACOG: Abort or refer
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) have finalized and published their Ethics Statement # 385.

Abstinence vs “plus”
The Texas Legislature is about to reconvene and the sex ed debate in our State is already in the news. (Free subscription required.) Unfortunately, the news article blurs the line between sex ed for all children in our schools and the problem that some of our girls have multiple pregnancies as teenagers. What little evidence … Continue reading

England and Wales, where abortion is legal and, like contraception and … Continue reading
>"Trained" (medical professionals) should shut up and perform
>”Trained” medical professionals should just shut up and perform, according to the President of the National Family planning and Reproductive Health Association. As mentioned in the last few posts, the right not to be forced to act against the conscience has been under attack by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

I’m quoted in Texas Monthly
Over the weekend, at the annual convention of the Texas Medical Association, a friend said that she’d read my quote in “Texas Monthly.” I assumed she meant an old article in Texas Medicine, the journal of the Texas Medical Association.
