Now I'm curious: Do pro-lifers believe birth-control is the same as abortion ?<br /><br />More information on my question: I read a debate during which a pro-lifer stated that Plan-B "kills" eggs and embyos. She also stated that the facts say it prevents implantation of an embryo (it does not kill it, as she previously stated), which is the same as abortion to her. Medically,...

Essentially, she is saying that if a woman has sex, the sperm and egg meet, but do not implant (which happens often, or a lot less couples would need...

The majority of the spermacide is actually on the INSIDE of the condom. And once the penis makes contact with the vagina, it is going to get rubbed around and dispersed, not really giving the spermacide a chance to kill all the sperm. Read the directions on any box of...

And if so, how large/wide does a man's penis need to be in order to get you off?<br /><br />I know you&#039;ll get a variety of answers on this one, but I can say from experience that size typically does not matter. I&#039;ve been with a guy who was hung like a horse (I&#039;m not kidding, it was as big around as a pop can !), and it sucked - it hurt, and we never really finished, as...

They typically contain benzocaine, which causes a mild numbing. Start with that (apply it yourself ahead of time, if you want to be ready right away), making sure to use a...

How can the family (not my own) take me in legally? I have talked to CPS, but they did not help. Im 16 and I need some help. The people that want to take me in are the only people I feel safe with<br /><br />There really is no one single legal process for this. You can go before a judge to emancipate yourself from your parents, using your past history as reason for this need. Bring the family with you that plans to take you in, so that you can show the judge you will have people to help you once...

I waited until 6 months for both of my children, as recommended by my doctor (please ask yours for advice). Even at 6 months, babies aren&#039;t really &quot;ready&quot; to eat yet, because it&#039;s new to them....

I work in healthcare, putting me at an increased risk of exposure, so I always get the regular influenza vaccine. This year, I will also be getting the vaccine for H1N1. Pregnant women need to remember that the flu typically causes deydration, and dehydration can easily cause...

You should not try to thaw it in a microwave or using hot water, so it&#039;s not a quick process. You can thaw a bag in the refrigerator in about 12 hours, so once you know how much your baby typically eats...

Though it&#039;s a fun thing to try, I will say that I do NOT actually believe it could work. It&#039;s based on the mother&#039;s information; age, month of conception, etc. but we know that...

This means there is NO biological connection to the child. The biggest reason for this type of surrogacy, in my opinion, is to help prevent the surrogate from feeling the...

Which is best?<br /><br />I&#039;ve gone through phases of watching (and enjoying) most of these shows. For awhile, it was Law and Order - Criminal Intent. Vincent D&#039;Onofrio is a fantastic actor, and the part he plays on CI is brilliant and at the same time unstable. Of all the CSI&#039;s, I only watch the...

If you mean &quot;get the medication&quot; out of your system - then the answer is no. You just have to wait it out. From the time you get the shot, it&#039;s only 3 months until you are...

Resulting, that i have two chambers. And my question is, is there a procedure that i could have done to have it removed? And does medicade cover it?<br /><br />I think what you&#039;re referring to is a bicornuate uterus, meaning two &quot;horns.&quot; It is not so much a wall, as it doesn&#039;t split it into two sides, as its more like a heart shape, with the top point of the &quot;heart&quot; coming quite far down.

Hence the expression &quot;No means NO.&quot; It applies to men AND women, married or not. If a woman does not want to have sex with her husband, and tells him no, and he forces himself on her, it IS rape. It&#039;s pretty rare for a woman to go through the legal system on that...

You need to work on improving your self-esteem if you think having sex means someone loves you. Some guys (particularly when they are still quite young) are not comfortable being affectionate. When you are alone together, just tell him that...

Having HPV does not indicate that someone has had sex at a young age. It shows you have HPV. Of course, if you ARE still young, and have HPV, then yes, you are correct. Though you didn&#039;t really ask a question, let&#039;s go over what we&#039;ve...

Okay, jokes aside - &quot;Too much&quot; in terms of masturbation would typically mean hurting yourself - rubbing your penis raw, for example, or if you find you don&#039;t...

How do I make my dude dig?<br /><br />You need to have reached Level 3 in both Construction and Science (with Tech Points) before your master builder will dig.

The reasoning for this is that there is really no sure way to know exactly when you got pregnant, but the day you got your period you were obviously NOT pregnant, so that was the last day they...

Herbs are not regulated by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), therefore there is not adequate information on them for use during pregnancy. Therefore no herbal supplements should automatically be considered &quot;safe&quot; just because they are &quot;only herbs.&quot; Always check...

As for the fluttering, it&#039;s not common this early in your pregnancy, but it IS possible. It&#039;s not actually...

No method of birth control is 100% effective, except not having sex. With Implanon (the 3-year implant), it is 99% effective, which means that approximately 1 out of every 100 women using it for a year will get pregnant. Please see the Implanon website for more information: ...

They usually do it because inserting an IUD would typically cause you to miscarry, because the IUD takes up most...

When you would get your period post-partum varies a great deal from woman to woman. Starting the pill will basically force your body back into it&#039;s regular &quot;cycle.&quot; And since you don&#039;t have to have your period yet to get pregnant, it&#039;s a very good idea to...

Withdrawal is not a method of birth control. Semen, and therefore sperm, leak out of the penis in small amounts long before ejaculation. And with millions of sperm in just a few drops, there&#039;s a huge chance of...

I'm talking about the woman, I know men pass out sometimes too! LOL But, if you did, what would happen? Do they have to put you in an emergency ceserian or do they let your body take it's time?<br /><br />I wouldn&#039;t say it&#039;s common, but it CAN happen. And when you faint, it&#039;s not typically a long-term thing. You aren&#039;t in a coma, so no, they wouldn&#039;t rush you off to surgery. Basically, the pain of labor would wake you right back up again. You do keep having... Tue, 01 Jul 2008 23:36:41 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/3378710 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/3378699 I started to have that cloudy, milky discharge on June 22nd. I had sex on June 23rd. And on the 24th I felt slight cramps.. Like a pinching in my lower abdomen.. I was told that feeling comes with ovulation. What are the chances of being pregnant?<br /><br />First, you shouldn&#039;t have cloudy, milky discharge at the time of ovulation. The discharge at that time should be &quot;egg white&quot; consistency - that is, clear, and stretchy - if you put a blob of it between two fingers, you should be able to stretch it a couple of inches before it...

Typically, you would be. In fact, I&#039;m shocked you weren&#039;t. Not really the point, but if you are still pregnant, than you shouldn&#039;t have any issues caused by the tubal ligation. The procedure is on...

Now my boyfriend and I are going to get married in a year and he wants kids but, I don't. Now he's mad. What should i do?<br /><br />My first thought is that you should try to get some counseling - both by youself, and perhaps as a couple. The decision to have (or not have) kids is one of the biggest a couple can make, so that&#039;s something you both need to agree on long before you get married. Perhaps therapy can...

I was ver fertile before I had it done.<br /><br />The chances, I&#039;m sorry to tell you, are not very good. There are a number of factors that determine each woman&#039;s odds, but they vary from 20 to 70%. Age is a major factor, with women over 40 having the worst odds. Here is a good link with a lot of information on the subject: ...

If you lost your pills before your pill pack was complete, then this makes a little more sense. However, ANY time you stop taking...

Technically, females ovulate about 2 weeks before each period starts - so in theory, you could ovulate before you have your first period. In reality, early menstrual cycles are so sporadic, and not &quot;normal&quot; in the way we know them to be as adults, so you might actually...

Are you pregnant, or have you had the baby yet ? Since I don&#039;t know the answers, I will just generalize. Having an extra toe (Polydactyly) doesn&#039;t &quot;mean&quot; anything. Sometimes it just happens. If the extra toe is...

Clearly, since this post is a bit old, you&#039;ve already had the baby, but for future reference and other readers: the 4/5 that you mentioned is called &quot;station.&quot;...

Clomid kind of has a reputation for causing multiple births, but more recent studies show that the number of multiples is actually 8-10% of patients that...

Not that I encourage you to tell him this, if he doesn&#039;t already know it ! Does he have logical reasons for wanting to change his names ? Does he have a name that...

Would that be a problem to getting pregnant?<br /><br />Nope. If it were, there would be a lot less babies in the world, because that happens to every woman. The sperm themselves are swimming a mad dash to and through the cervix the instant they get set free, so a 20 minute wait is very adequate for them to do their thing. If you DO have a...

When you are convicted of a sex crime, you are also given a time on the registry. If your crime is of a certain nature (for example with a weapon, against a child, violent, etc.),...

Among them is public urination (in some places). Yes, pulling over and peeing in the ditch can make you a sex offender. So lumping all SO&#039;s together, and saying they should be castrated is a bit ridiculous.

We eat in the dining room and I would prefer for them to eat in the utility room. Am I being selfish or is he for not wanting to compromise?<br /><br />Even if you don&#039;t eat in the kitchen, you COOK there. Kitchens need to be sanitary, and I don&#039;t think pets eating there is the most sanitary thing. It won&#039;t KILL you or your family to have pet germs in there, necessarily, but I don&#039;t think it&#039;s selfish of you. If...

Is anyone else bulimic? Are you proud of it or ashamed of it? I myself am in between. Does you know any tricks to make it easier to puke?<br /><br />Yes, other people are bulimic. My sister used to be bulimic. Now she&#039;s dead. (And no, I am not kidding.) An eating disorder is not something anyone should be proud of. It&#039;s something you&#039;ve already acknowledged, so the next step is getting help. You need to tell a parent or...

That means even if you don&#039;t pay support, the main custodial parent (nor the courts) cannot withold visitation priveledges. However, if you are legally required to pay support, and you don&#039;t, at...

What changes is a couple of things: You know what to expect, basically - taking away your fear of the unknown can really make childbirth less daunting, and therefore it seems easier. Also, the more babies you have, the shorter your labor and...

Any methods to make sure that, it will be a boy?<br /><br />Actually there is ONLY one way to guarantee the baby&#039;s sex. It&#039;s called preimplantation genetic diagnosis, or PGD. And it&#039;s not used in &quot;natural conception,&quot; only in IVF. To keep it simple, a woman&#039;s eggs are removed from her ovaries, fertilized with the sperm...

Does this mean that when they go this time, they are more likely to go in a trickle than a gush or is there no way of telling?<br /><br />The movie-idea of your water breaking in a gush is usually not typical. The majority of the time, it trickles out. The exception is if you are in bed when it breaks. The reason is, when you are upright, the baby&#039;s head is pressed down farther, acting as a &quot;stopper&quot; of sorts....

In our rural area, virtually all babies are circumsized (I work in the hospital, so I know this as a fact). It was one factor I considered if I were to have a boy (if I thought my child could handle.

Can you still opt for one if you want, to avoid accidents during labour?<br /><br />I think that in larger areas, you&#039;ll have more &quot;forward thinking&quot; doctors - ones that know you don&#039;t &quot;need&quot; an enema or an episiotomy as a routine part of birth. In smaller areas, doctors prefer to use &quot;tried and true&quot; methods - if it&#039;s worked in the...

So when the baby is OUT, you don&#039;t have that pain anymore. You will still be sore - but it&#039;s more like &quot;tender&quot; rather than horrific pain. I...

Doctors suggest that everyting is ok, but I want it removed. Any thoughts? BTW it is a second big toe.<br /><br />Well, in my opinion, the body is made the way it is for functionality. If you add or subtract basic parts, it functions at a different level than it typically does (usually at a lesser level). Over time, you can acclimate to these changes - if you lose a finger, you learn to write a different...

However, you can &quot;spot&quot; - that can be caused by implantation of...

But as a parent, one NEEDS to tell their children that, no matter what, they are loved. I have a 14 year old daughter, and at this point in her life, I DO NOT LIKE HER about 90% of the time.

This is something tax prepaparers can advise you on, but they can also form opinions about it, and may not be accurate, so I&#039;d definitely call the IRS.

If they ask &quot;have you ever been arrested ?&quot; then you would need to answer honestly.

He has three daughters, 12, 9, and 2. His 12 year old knows about the affair and hates me. I want her acceptance and for her to see I'm a good person, what do I do?<br /><br />Well, my fiance has a similar story that I thought I&#039;d share to tell you how badly this COULD go if NOT handled well. My fiance&#039;s father was having an affair for years, and when it came out, he was 13. And, as in your situation, he was very angry at the woman his father had the...

I love her very much and feel guilty that i feel this way.<br /><br />First, it&#039;s good you can acknowledge that you feel this way - denying it can end up blowing up in your face. But asking for opinions on here is probably not your best solution - perhaps bringing this up with your boyfriend would be wise. However, I do want to say that it&#039;s very...

However, breastfeeding or pumping breastmilk does cause some wear on the body - it makes you a little tired, and so does pregnancy, so it&#039;s a double whopper on her body. As long as she has enough... Wed, 24 Oct 2007 04:30:33 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1576175 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/1575974 The have been alot of recalls on toys. Do you remember when Teletubbies had their dolls recall because of the foul and homosexual language a disgruntled employee inserted? I still have the Po doll in the plastic.<br /><br />You know, I was never sure that that whole thing wasn&#039;t just a hoax or urban legend. I still have all of the original Teletubbies my daughter played with (not sure WHY exactly, but still...), and I think now, as I thought then, that it was silly. The Po doll says phrases she was heard...

I have been her sole provider for those 11 years. How far back would her biological father have to pay in support. I live in the state of Indiana.<br /><br />I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but you&#039;re entitled to asolutely NO child support until a support order is enacted. You have to go through all the legal channels (paperwork, court orders, etc.), and once the father is served papers, THEN the ball starts rolling. He will be given an...

Consider this: if you are changing in the locker room, and were given the choice of having everyone watch you, or to be able to do it privately (even though they&#039;d all see you in your swim suit soon enough), which would you choose ? Privately,...
