Get this: Apparently advertisers sometimes target women with intentionally misleading advertisements -- and, brace yourselves, pharmaceutical companies are among the major offenders. (And I thought Big Pharma was a good pal.) Bayer is the latest wrongdoer, according to the Food and Drug Administration, which on Tuesday released a warning letter sent to the company about "misbranding" in two TV spots for the Birth Control pill Yaz. You've probably seen the ads. The first, which stopped running in 2007, starts by telling us: "We all know that Birth Control pills are 99 percent effective and can give you shorter, lighter periods. But did you know there's a Pill that could do more? " Then it shows women giving an upper cut and karate kick to words like "irritability" and "moodiness"-- all to a pop remix of Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It." The suggestion, of course, is that Yaz combats common symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. The pill, however, is approved for treating premenstrual dysphoric disorder, a debilitating medical condition. Presumably, Bayer was hoping no one would pick up on the very significant difference between PMS and PMDD -- but, what do you know, the FDA did! "The TV ads misleadingly suggest that Yaz is approved to treat women with any severity of the symptoms presented, regardless of whether their symptoms are actually severe enough to constitute PMDD," the FDA wrote in its letter . The second spot , whi ...

Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) is appalled by the Bush administration's latest move to put women's lives in danger by withholding contraceptives, a critical family planning resource, from women in six African countries. The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) is mandating that several African governments terminate a program that allows Marie Stopes International (MSI), one of the world's leading family planning organizations, to provide contraceptives in those countries. read more ...

If you haven't watched this video, you really need to. Senator John McCain can't answer the question about different standards for insurance companies covering Birth Control and Viagra. We can't let Sen. McCain get away with a non-answer on this important issue. He has a clear record of letting insurance companies cover Viagra but not Birth Control. Will he stand by that record?

thats awesome lol Stripper science earns frivolous fame - Science - MSNBC.com (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26996167/?GT1=43001) BOSTON - Deborah Anderson had heard the urban legends about the contraceptive effectiveness of Coca-Cola products for years. So she and her colleagues decided to put the soft drink to the test. In the lab, that is. For discovering that, yes indeed, Coke was a spermicide, Anderson and her team are among this year's winners of the Ig Nobel Prize, the annual award given by the Annals of Improbable Research magazine for oddball but often surprisingly practical scientific achievements. The ceremony at Harvard University, in which actual Nobel laureates bestow the awards, also honored a British psychologist who found that foods that sound better taste better; a group of researchers who discovered exotic dancers make more money when they are at peak fertility; and a pair of Brazilian archaeologists who determined armadillos can change the course of history. Anderson, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Boston University's School of Medicine, and her colleagues found that not only was Coca-Cola a spermicide, but that Diet Coke for some reason worked best. Their study appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine in 1985. "We're thrilled to win an Ig Nobel, because the study was somewhat of a parody in the first place," said Anderson, who added that she does not recommend using Coke for Birth Control purposes ...

Dr. Wilson explains if women often have a difficult time getting pregnant after they stop taking their Birth Control medications. Dr. Wilson: I don’t find that that’s the case.
