New York Times Editorials, Letter To The Editor Critique Recently Proposed Legislation Restricting Abortion Access
January 31st, 2011
Two New York Times editorials examine the current “wars” over abortion in the states and in the federal government. Also, Center for Reproductive Rights President Nancy Northup addresses potential court challenges to state abortion legislation.
~ The Two Abortion Wars: A Highly Intrusive Federal Bill: The House Republican-backedbill (HR 3) “is so broad that it could block insurance coverage for abortions for countless American women,” the editorial states. According to the editorial, the bill “would bar outright the use of federal subsidies to buy any insurance that covers abortion, well beyond” the ban on federal funding for abortion coverage in the new insurance exchanges.

Avoid the common cold
January 27th, 2011
As one who is recovering from a nasty, post winter cold, I have been racking my brain for the best way to avoid feeling at all like I have this past week. While having health care insurance is great if you have to go to the doctor, it is better to avoid getting that sick in the first place.
Here are some tried and true tips on how to avoid getting sick:
* Wash your hands. This is the number one way to avoid getting sick. Germs live on surfaces and love to travel onto your hand.
