One of the sessions I attended at BlogHer this year that was somewhat personally challenging to me was "Who We Are: Women Without Children and the Blogosphere." I'm not someone who comes in contact with or thinks about children very often in my daily life.
Back in January 2007, Denise wrote a post on BlogHer about her teen daughter's positive experience getting a Gardasil vaccination. The very first comment, made by Donna, noted that after her 15 year old daughter received the shot, she has had headaches and double vision. Donna wondered if anyone else had a similar experience.
I gotta tell ya, my sexual peak has pretty much been a bust. It's not that it hasn't happened - Oh, no, it's here, baby. It's that I moved to Los Angeles when I was 30, I've been single more than I've been coupled, and I've had exactly no luck finding someone to spend my life with.I'm a monogamous relationship lover. I'm just not going to have amazing, mind-blowing sex when love isn't there. And here I am, single again. Most of my thirties have felt like one long, frustrating dry spell. It sucks.
If you’re curious about online dating, the easiest way to ease yourself into such a situation is to ask people who have already tried it for themselves. What did they think? Did it work for them? Would they recommend it? At the age of 28, I’ve never participated in what I would consider to be full-fledged online dating -- that is, I’ve never been a member of a site that I had to pay for.
Every day, I take a birth control pill (except during the "off" week). In this way, I am no different from a large number of American women. My daily pill is not an abortion under any recognizable definition of the word, but new regulations under consideration by the Department of Health and Human Services say that it is. Further, people who oppose abortions can deny me my right to medication that has been prescribed to me by a doctor.
Further, it is part of a nurse's job to care for their patients no matter what they're in for. And it is the responsibility of doctors to provide care for their patients within the scope of their specialty. But more and more, medical professionals are refusing to do their jobs because of their personal, moral and/or religious beliefs.And I've been really confused by this, because I was raised by a conservative.
