Pennyroyal...hmmm...that has a nice ring to it.....
A reader, in response to my rant about women's choice, sent an email to me asking if I had heard about Pennyroyal and its ability to naturally abort a fetus early - like within two months of conception. I had never heard of it, and she was kind enough to forward the following information to me. Thanks, sista, you rock.

Before I go one....as with any drug.....do I need to say this? Really? Long exaggerated exhale. Ok. This is a drug. Just because you hear one person's account and know the name does not mean that you have researched the drug. Look it up, find out what to do and what not to do. Find out possible side effects and how it interacts with any medication (legal, non-legal, prescribed and not so prescribed) that you might be taking. Be smart. Anything you put in your body should be something you know a lot about. Ok? Really. Don't screw around and mess up a possible solution or alternative for a lot of other women by taking a herb that makes you sick or kills you and adds to the fear mongerers' lethal list. Do you know what I mean? Ok, read on...

"You can buy Pennyroyal in a capsule and take it, or you can make tea out of it. You can put it in your bathwater, douche with it, or sprinkle it on your food. It is a member of the mint family. The idea is to keep the herb in your system constantly for three to five days. It is not safe to use later in pregnancy: Only early on---maybe 4 to 8 weeks pregnant. It will cause you to have your period even if you are pregnant. The tea did not work for me, but the capsules sure did! So I would recommend those. You also need to get Vitamin C to counter the toxic effect of the herb, and take Brewer's Yeast, (but I forget why). When I have used this, I would take several capsules with a large glass of water before going to bed. When I wake up to go to the bathroom, take more capsules and water. When I got up, and then every few hours throughout the day. Also with Brewer's Yeast and Vitamin C but less of those. When you start to bleed, STOP TAKING PENNYROYAL!!!!! It can cause you to hemmorage. It is not safe to use for more than five days. You should begin to have your period by then. Several days later you will pass a plug of tissue that is the compressed parts of the fetus. This is much safer for your body than traditional suction abortion. As I said, I learned this when I worked at The Feminist Women's Health Center in Atlanta, GA. They believe that women's health belongs in women's hands."

All Aboard…. Is Rosie O’Donnell’s documentary on HBO about a cruise ship she chartered for 2000 gay and lesbian family members and it aired last night. I only saw it today as we had recorded it. I have to say that I was tearful through at least 80% of the film. I don’t know if it is something innately a part of who I am, how I’m wired or just simply what I believe through life experiences that are the driving force behind my feelings on this subject. Over and over as I saw loving parents care for their kids, overcome incredibly obstacles to fulfill their desire to nurture and raise children, it just revolved in my head – love is love is love. Isn’t there enough hate running rampant in this world? I mean, given the opportunity to allow love to flourish don’t you think as humans that is our goal? To allow love to dominate? I know that’s what Christianity is all about. I know that when presented to Jesus, he said that love was the most important thing. This cruise wasn’t a gay pride, ...

Post Easter Musings I’ve been thinking about this whole legalistic point of view the right has been taking on immigration. And the thing that keeps getting stuck is how they (the hate radio guys) keep saying repeatedly that they want to get the guys that “cut in line” that “jumped in front of everyone else who is going through the process”. Now, believe me, I hate cutters. I have always hated cutters. There’s an entitlement issue there that really leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. I have no problem, none whatsoever, in letting people who cut know that it is not acceptable. But let’s switch tracks here. Cody fell down the stairs at school. He was in a lot of pain and after calling his pediatrician, I was instructed to go to the emergency room. We went in. I spoke to reception. I filled out paperwork. I elevated his foot. Got him something to drink. Went into the triage nurse, got vitals, went back into the waiting room. Filled out more paper work. And sat. And sat. X came with loud...

This is from the site : www.gopauctionhouse.org Pretty revealing stuff..... How The GOP Auction House Hurts You Health Care Under Republican rule, millions more Americans have gone without health insurance, even as health care costs continue to skyrocket. The Republican Medicare bill, which barred Medicare from bargaining for lower prices, kept re-importation from Canada illegal, and punishes seniors with an enrollment cost hike for every year they do not sign up, also provides for an estimated $139 billion in windfall profits for the big drug companies. And despite minimal savings for seniors, it puts the federal budget in the red as far as the eye can see. The Medicare bill is the perfect demonstration of how the Republican Culture of Corruption comes at a cost to the American people every day. $139 Billion in Windfall Profits for the Pharmaceutical Industry Blocks Medicare from Collective Bargaining for Lower Prices Prevents Re-importation from Canada "The Medicare drug benefi...
