News (in)Digest: Gay Agenda, Fertility & Abortion
**RECALL: AMO Contact Solution recalled because it doesn't protect against infectious amoeba. Note that the solution is not contaminated, it is just suspected of not protecting against infection. Good think I didn't open my bottles yet... I really liked their solution a lot more than Opti-Free.
* Bush concerned at activists' arrest... in Vietnam. He probably wants to offer tips on how better to repress dissenting voices. What a fucking hypocrite.
* Romney criticized for being Mormon... by a self-described liberal. Oy. I was hoping it was a radical Christianist, which would be a good sign of the Republicans fragmenting this upcoming election, but that would be too much to hope for in the news (I'm pretty sure it's happening anyway).
**ADDED: Governor Jon Corzine appears in a PSA for wearing seatbelts sponsored by the Dept. of Transportation. There is some speculation that he is just trying to profit from it, but hell, it's a well-done PSA, and it was made with the help of a Bush appointee.
* US Military plans to use major fossil site as bombing range.
* Gay pub bans straights. Oh Noez! The Gay Agenda is real and it's stopping wholesome, upstanding straight people from drinking!
* Palme d'Or film award goes to Romanian abortion movie at Cannes Film Festival.
* WA state makes HPV vaccine free for girls. Whoo hoo! Governor Gregoire deserves major kudos for this.
* Pros and "cons" of Lybrel (the period-stopping pill).
* A look at the "selective reduction" quandary in assisted reproductive technologies.
* And more people are trying DIY fertility assistance.
* Antidepressant increases female sex drive.
* Four-month old infants can distinguish different languages by watching.
* New abortion pill to require fetal consent. yes, it's a joke.
