FDA restores funding to Office of Women’s Health.

FDA restores funding to Office of Women’s Health.
Under pressure from women’s health advocates and lawmakers, the Food and Drug Administration has decided to fully fund the agency’s Office of Women’s Health. Last month, reports indicated that the FDA had “quietly removed” one-quarter of this year’s $4 million operating budget. Women’s health advocates believed it was “a long-anticipated payback for the trouble the office stirred during the prolonged debate over nonprescription sales of Plan B.”

March 18th, 2007 at 3:43 pmI’m sure no one here is wishing bodily harm on the President of the United States, right? Unlike the bodily harm visited on the tiny babies aborted by Plan B.

Comment by Jake
I’m sure you recognize a joke after 75 years on this planet, right Jake?
You also know that pregnancy is prevented by Plan B, not aborted.
The unborn are not tiny babies, they are zygote or fetus.
March 18th, 2007 at 3:59 pm#4 Jake, What do you care bacause you are not the one having this baby. It is none of your business.
March 18th, 2007 at 4:08 pmWhy do Repugniscums hate women??

Because we scare them, and it’s embarrassing to them when we find them hiding under the bed.

March 18th, 2007 at 4:30 pmDeath Toll Hits ‘Million’
Updated: 16:38, Sunday March 18, 2007
The number of deaths in Iraq since the start of the conflict could be as high as one million, according to a new estimate.
An Australian scientist published the figure using four sets of independent data, including information from the United Nations Children’s Fund and the UN’s population division, as well as medical literature.
Dr Gideon Polya’s figure is far higher than the previous biggest estimate of 655,000.
“Using the most comprehensive and authoritative literature, and UN demographic data yields an estimate of one million post-invasion excess deaths in Iraq,” he said.
A spokesman for the Stop The War Coalition said the figure was “astonishing”.
He added: “Four years after the start of the conflict in Iraq we can now see what a disaster the war has been.
“Everything that the Stop The War movement predicted would happen has taken place – but it has been far worse than we feared.”
March 18th, 2007 at 4:37 pmMistress Z:
Lee Harvey Oswald “joked” about killing JFK too. But, sticking to the thread topic, and using your terms then, is it possible for a fertilized zygote to NOT implant because of a Plan B / Levonorgestrel treatment? If it is, then it can be called an abortion.
Mary Poplins:
The State of California “cared” when Scott Peterson killed his wife, Laci, and their unborn son, Connor. Or, do you think THAT was o.k. because I was not the one having that baby either? Whether you like it or not, murder IS society’s business.

That’s the “Plan B,” Jake. Emergency contraception at it’s finest.
Jake, is it possible for a fertilized zygote to NOT implant because of completely natural reasons?
If it is, then it can be called an abortion.
Comment by Jake
Well Jake, you can call it a birthday party, too, but it doesn’t make it so.
March 18th, 2007 at 4:42 pmWould someone take Jake for walkies. Otherwise he’s gonna make a mess as usual.
“Here boy, Here Jake!”
March 18th, 2007 at 4:46 pmMistress Z:
Of course it is possible for a fertilized zygote to NOT implant because of completely natural reasons — even what you would consider “real” people die every day from accidents or natural causes — my question was about affirmatively poisoning someone.
March 18th, 2007 at 4:53 pm# 14 Jake old boy I was not talking about Laci I was talking about Plan B. That is not an abortion. You do not know what you are talking about. I do not believe in murder. The decision should be between a man and woman not you or the government. You as I said should mine your own business.
I think we should bring our troops home because Old Bush sent our military into an illegal war that is murder.
Why aren’t you over in a Iraq fighting?
March 18th, 2007 at 4:59 pm…my question was about affirmatively poisoning someone.
Comment by Jake
Poisoning whom, Jake? If the cells have not implanted themselves in the wall of the uterus, it is not a pregnancy yet. Plan B simply assures the implantation will not occur. No harm, no foul.
Jake, don’t you think enough unwanted children come into the world? Have you ever seen pictures of a child beaten to death by a parent or parents who didn’t want it? I have.
Another thing, Jake. Either before or after it was legal, did you ever pay for a girlfriend, or any female, to have an abortion?
March 18th, 2007 at 5:02 pmHey JakeA$$,
Doesn’t your god abort millions of fetuses and blastocyst everyday through miscarriage? Your GOD is an ABORTIONIST!!!
Prove me wrong a$$wipe. I know your god better than you!!! You hate your god and I know it because she told me so!!!
HA!
March 18th, 2007 at 5:08 pmThe Repubs respect life- until it’s eighteen and ready to ship off to war. No Child Left Behind is thier motto.
March 18th, 2007 at 5:09 pmMistress Z,
I am sure Jake has a house full of adopted children from unwanted pregnancies and I am sure his “wife” has saved frozen zygotes left over from fertility clinics. I am sure he stands on moral high ground. I can read it in his comments.
The only thing I am trying to figure out is when Jake was given the right to create a new dictionary and change definitions at whim. Like abortion. That’s pretty cool.
March 18th, 2007 at 5:11 pmMary Poplins:
I served my tour of duty, already. There are plenty of other threads here we can discuss Iraq if you wish. This one is about the intentional and unjustified killing of unborn children — that includes Connor Peterson (at least it did according to the State of California).
Mistress Z:
Poisoning the zygote. We will have to agree to disagree on the definition of pregnancy too — medical texts in my days ALL taught it was at FERTILIZATION — if I pump poison gas into the plane you are flying in, does it matter whether you could have simply landed but didn’t before you died? That’s what I think of your “it’s OK as long as it doesn’t implant” argument. Location, location, location. I am glad you at least admit Plan B assures the implantation will not occur — plenty of por-choice people won’t even admit that ; )
As for whether enough “unwanted” children come into the world, unwanted by whom? Their parents or society? Of course some parents do horrible things to their children — that doesn’t justify killing them in utero to “save” them. You surely aren’t advocating Andrea Yates had the right to murder her “real” children just because she mistakenly thought she was saving them from the Devil, do you? Also, I have never paid for any female to have an abortion — does that mean I can’t discuss this issue because I am only a man?
March 18th, 2007 at 5:13 pmR,
I have to differ with you on that one, R. Repubs only respect life until it’s born, and they respect it even less when it turns 18.
March 18th, 2007 at 5:15 pmdixie blood:
As I told Mistress Z, and I’m sure you’ll agree, that “real” people die of natural causes all the time.
R:
I am registered Independent and respect innocent human life from the beginning to the end.

@ 4:58 pm
ok – if anyone, anyone, ever again gives this pile of shite any kind of acknowledgement ever again, i will have no reason but to think that that person is also a misogynistic, chauvenistic, braindead, treasonous, bigotted, stoopid, unpatriotic, the list goes on idjit.
…
except for worfeus… and big papa… and…
aww… whatever…
such a lying waste of space…
March 18th, 2007 at 5:21 pm.
just sayin’…
…medical texts in my days ALL taught it was at FERTILIZATION…
Jake, you say are 75 years old. Do you think science hasn’t advanced since “your day?” Does everyone have to subscribe to your “life begins at conception” ideology? Why so sentimental about the tiny babies, Jake?
Poison gas in an airplane — lame-assed argument, Jake. That’s what I think.
I tell ya, Jake, I don’t care if the cells have implanted or not, if a woman wants an abortion, that’s her business.
Re Andrea Yates. Don’t be stupid, Jake.
Discuss away at this topic, that doesn’t give you a say in the matter.
March 18th, 2007 at 5:25 pm#27 – katy,
Did Jake make that comment?
March 18th, 2007 at 5:27 pmJake, as a registered Independent, it must have angered you that your support and vote for independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader wasn’t enough to defeat Bush in 2004. Independent my ass.
March 18th, 2007 at 5:27 pmyep
March 18th, 2007 at 5:29 pmJake That Yakes woman did not murder her children because she wanted to save them. She was going through post partium depression. She shouldn’t had that last child. This was her stupid husband decision. She needed help with her children.
We are talking about plan B not the way Connor was murdered by Scott Peterson. That has nothing to do with this topic.
March 18th, 2007 at 5:31 pmDon’t worry, Gerald Gibson Jr ., the “rapist†will be done no later than January 20, 2009. Just lay back and enjoy.
Comment by Jake — March 18, 2007 @ 4:58 pm
That’s it, Jake. No more discussion. Don’t you dare come to ThinkProgress and make a JOKE about rape.
Have you ever BEEN raped? Do you KNOW anyone who’s been raped?
F*cking hilarious, isn’t it? Go to hell, Jake.
March 18th, 2007 at 5:31 pmkaty and Mistress Z:
If you read the other thread, you will see I was making fun of someone ELSE’s lame analogy of Iraq being rape — at least as poor of an analogy as my poisoned airplane ride — fine by me if you don’t want to continue the discussion. I will note that, however, that not everyone subscribes to my “life begins at conception†ideology, just as Nazis did not subscribe to “Jews were people” either. Sorry if you think that is merely being “sentimental” — see ya around!
MrHaney:
I did not vote for Nadar — I said I was Independent, not stupid.
Mary Poplins:
Since I think all of those situtations should be outlawed as “murder” it is indeed part of my debate points at least. Hopefully, we can overturn Roe v. Wade and protect ALL defenseless, innocent human beings soon.
March 18th, 2007 at 5:41 pmHey Lady Z, and all poster’s except the troll jake….Don’t waste your word’s on this old fool..My bet he has a poor mouse at home feeding him while he dictates..What he need’s are more med’s to bring him into the present century..To tell you the truth I don’t believe he is 75 at all..I think maybe a 45 year old bush backer…
We have worked for years to get where we are ladies and bottom line there are more of us than them and one way or the other we will maintain our status and right to our own bodies…F*** jake and the elephant he rode in on..Maybe if we applied a diffrent tact like “we get the right to have their tally wackers made steril” they may change their mind’s but never will the 28% get it and may I say that is probably most of their problem’s…They don’t get any much less “It”….Blessings Ladies
March 18th, 2007 at 5:51 pmHey Mistress Z – If Jake is a fundie – he better hope that there isn’t a Mrs. God. I can only imagine what that can of whoopass would be like.
What’s next, Jake? Requiring women to register their uterus with the state? Uterine barcodes? ENOUGH is ENOUGH! Get your neanderthal morals out of my uterus! If ya’ll want a uterus GO GET YOUR OWN! I’m sure there is a surgeon that will be happy to help you out.
March 18th, 2007 at 5:54 pmSharon:
When the Roberts Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade we’ll talk.
March 18th, 2007 at 5:55 pmEvilPoet:
Unfortunately, you are right in that there are too many surgeons who every day violate their Hippocratic Oath.
March 18th, 2007 at 5:57 pmFor the rest of you ladies not discussing the topic with me, I guess it’s a good thing my long post on Roe v. Wade got lost in transmission. Have a good evening.
March 18th, 2007 at 5:59 pmCut & run, Jake.
Got anymore rape jokes? Really funny ones?
March 18th, 2007 at 6:00 pmJake The Supreme Court will never overturns Roe v. Wade. You have no right telling a woman what to do with her womb. Stay out of this.
March 18th, 2007 at 6:00 pmThe Roberts Supreme Court may never get a chance to hear Roe v. Wade since they will likely spend the next 10-15 years sorting out the Bush Administration’s legal, ethical, and moral chaos. Bush and the neocons will be gone in 2009, but their legacy will pain all of us for many years.
March 18th, 2007 at 6:01 pmright on, sharon… as always…
March 18th, 2007 at 6:05 pmthanks for the blessings – back atcha, girl…
Jake, you and I will have a talk the day a law is passed that women can have men guilded….Your body your decesion, my body my decesion..Grow up…Get lost and go back under the bridge…The male ownership society of owning and dictating to women has long past..

Thanks, Sharon. Blessings.

MrHaney:
How many U.S. Supreme Court cases were there after Nixon left the Presidency? I can only think of one, in which the government was ordered to pay Nixon for all his personal property they confiscated — even Clinton’s legal troubles ended as soon as he left office — there won’t be any Court cases sorting anything out from the Bush Administration after 2009.
March 18th, 2007 at 6:08 pmkaty:
As I explained, I was making fun of someone ELSE’s analogy of us raping Iraq. I will be happy to keep posting this explanation to every thread you cut & paste only part of the story on. It makes my job a lot easier with you helping out.
March 18th, 2007 at 6:13 pm#25- Point taken. Even better, my dear.
#26- I don’t belive you. Otherwise, you would not support Bush’s death plan.
And then there are the exceptional cases, like Terri Shievo. Vegetative, brain-dead “miracle” patients make for good political causes and are EXTREMELY precious. I say this with sarcasm, just so everyone knows.
March 18th, 2007 at 6:13 pmHere’s a joke…
God’s gifts for Adam and Eve
Seems God was just about done creating the universe and had a couple of things left over in his bag of creations, so he stopped by to visit Adam and Eve in the Garden.
He told the couple that one of the things he had to give away was the ability to stand up and pee. “It’s a very handy thing,” God told the couple who he found hanging around under an apple tree. “I was wondering if either one of you wanted that ability.”
Adam popped a cork. Jumped up and begged, “Oh, give that to me! I’d love to be able to do that! It seems the sort of thing a Man should do. Oh please, oh please, oh please, let me have that ability. It’d be so great! When I’m working in the garden or naming the animals, I could just let it flow, I’d be so cool. Oh please God let it be me who you give that gift to, let me stand and pee, oh please … ” On and on he went like an excited little boy (who had to pee).
Eve just smiled and shook her head at the display. She told God that if Adam really wanted it so badly, and it sure seemed to be the sort of thing that would make him happy, she really wouldn’t mind if Adam were the one given the ability to stand up and pee. And so it was.
And it was … well, good.
“Fine,” God said, looking back into his bag of left-over gifts. “So what’s left in here anyway? Oh yes, multiple orgasms …”
March 18th, 2007 at 6:14 pmThanks Sharon, We need your Blessing as these men think they are trying to own our bodies as it will not work any longer. We will take our country back from these neocons.
March 18th, 2007 at 6:18 pmR:
You can believe whatever you’d like to believe. EVERY war unfortunately has the risk of innocents being killed. Were you against WWII? We’ve done more in this war than ever before to keep collateral damage to a minimum.

Perhaps, instead of playing your pathetic little semantics games with Z, you could rejoin the actual conversation and give your thoughts on my post #58.

Nice of you to admit you’re a passive/aggressive clown.
Do you really think you’re going to pull this shit on me, and I’m just going to let you do it? Do you think I’m going to lie back and enjoy?
March 18th, 2007 at 7:19 pmTo whom are you asking those questions, Mistress Z?
March 18th, 2007 at 7:20 pmJake sez:
First of all, no, you didn’t address my post. No post from you subsequent to my post #58 addresses it. Lie number one.
If a post from you was deleted, changing the numbering of the posts so mine was no longer #58 (which hasn’t happened, BTW…lie number two), that would mean that your ‘disappeared’ post would be prior to mine, and thus could not possibly be a response. Lie number three.
Three strikes, Jake. You’re out.
March 18th, 2007 at 7:20 pmOh, and BTW, Jake…it doesn’t seem as if any of your childish posts baiting Z are ‘disappearing’.
Apparently, only your thoughtful and rational posts are being ‘disappeared’…funny….those posts are as elusive as Bigfoot.
March 18th, 2007 at 7:23 pmThe State of California “cared†when Scott Peterson killed his wife, Laci, and their unborn son, Connor
Jake – Laci Peterson was killed by her husband she did not have an abortion you sick f#ck. And she was about 38 weeks pregnant meaning that her baby was fully viable and if he had been removed from his mother’s uterus had 100% survival rate.
March 18th, 2007 at 7:25 pmWhat is your point?
Yeah they reinstated this money for women’s health probably because Bush radically cut funds for cancer research.
Jake, why don’t you give it a rest? Who do you think you are to impose your opinions on this group? Enlightened people tend to advance in humility as they gain in years. What happened to you?
March 18th, 2007 at 7:26 pmShane,
See my comment at #33 to see what Jake considers funny.
March 18th, 2007 at 7:35 pmJake – now you have a medical degree also.
Do you know that one third of pregnancies abort spontaneously, often before the mother know she’s pregnant.
Why don’t you stick your head back up your ass before you open your stupid mouth and let more people know what a raving lunatic.
Unless you want us to point out all the lies you’ve spewed here. You’re a 75 year old man who’s bitter because you never did anything to be proud of so you spend your time around her antagonizing those you are obviously jealous of.
March 18th, 2007 at 7:41 pmMistress Z sez:
Nothing Jake does surprises me anymore…ever since he attempted to advance the morally repellent argument that there is no difference between soldiers wounded in the field and electing to fight on, and soldiers certified as medically unfit for duty being forced to redeploy, I have no respect for him. Zero.
Of course, for such a repugnant creature to make jokes about rape is just par for the course, and merely reinforces my opinion. He must get his sense of humor by attempting to imitate his idols, Bill-O and Rush.
March 18th, 2007 at 7:42 pm#49- Thank you. I do believe what I want and know to be true. On the other hand, malcontents such as yourself run around frantically trying to convince others of what you think. You are a fecal smear in the underwear of life.
A turd by any other name will always stink, and not smell the same.

100% of all live births end in death, so what’s your point? I am not against death by NATURAL causes.

I was commenting about someone ELSE’s analogy that the U.S. is raping Iraq, and as you know, I said there is a difference between a wounded soldier being ordered back to the battlefield and one volunteering to go back.
March 18th, 2007 at 7:47 pmTripMaster Monkey,
Thank you for saying that, I really appreciate it.
Jake obviously has problems in the areas of empathy and morality.
March 18th, 2007 at 7:49 pmHe is pitiful.

March 18th, 2007 at 7:51 pmThe State of California “cared†when Scott Peterson killed his wife, Laci, and their unborn son, Connor
Jake – medical texts of what kind are you speaking. Then you are suggesting that you went to medical school. Because medicine like the law is not as simple as you make it sound and you are taking some fact out of context.
Here’s a question, at what week does a fetus go from a miscarriage to a stillborn death if something goes wrong with a pregnancy. Because that happens every day to women. What week Jake. And are you just implying you went to medical school like you did law school or are you really a doctor.
March 18th, 2007 at 7:51 pmIn case this post gets through, my “morality” does not include pulling a a full-term fetus out of a mother except for the head, puncturing the back of her skull, suctioning out her brains, and then collapsing her head. You got me there.

Sure you do but not our 3,000 dead soldiers or 1 million Iraqis who died so Bush and his friends could steal the oil from the Iraqi people. The only time republicans care about life is in utero. How much did you and your people care about life in Louisiana during Hurricane Katrina. Believe me those fetuses you worry so much about feel a lot less pain than the people your party has worked so hard at abandoning.
March 18th, 2007 at 7:55 pmWhat people has the Independent Party worked so hard at abandoning? Also, my church collected over $1 million for Katrina victims and sent hundreds of volunteers to the devasted area. What did you do?

We demolished all the water treatment and electrical power generation in Iraq within the first go-round and then proceeded to oversee the murder and torture of countless professionals — doctors, engineers, teachers and administrators — simply because they were members of the Baathist party, and now you have the gall to say that we attempted to minimize collateral damage?
Jake, is there no end to your self-deception? Have you no interest whatsosever in defending your own self-respect?
March 18th, 2007 at 7:59 pmIn case this post gets through, my “morality†does not include pulling a a full-term fetus out of a mother except for the head, puncturing the back of her skull, suctioning out her brains, and then collapsing her head. You got me there.
Comment by Jake
I’d like to see a link from a reputable medical site that shows the statistics of exactly how often that happens.
Maybe someone can ask Jake for that.
March 18th, 2007 at 8:00 pmI am bringing up a little incident to use as a refrence and learning thought for the troll jake…Not that I think it will do any good but it’s a thought and does work for a rational mind….jesus I forgot for a minute that troll’s don’t have rational thought.Oh well…
I went to Freddies and got in on a few sales the other day….I alway’s like to mess with the cashier’s while they are in tired mode to wake them up…LOL.. At the end of the transaction the girl said to me ” you have saved $26.75, today…I laughed and said to her, yes but I would have saved $78.23 if I had stayed home…..Both of us laughed..
The reason for this little example is both simple and rational, jake’s quote” We’ve done more in this war than ever before to keep collateral damage to a minimum”….Now jake think what we would have accomplished if we had looked for Benlauden only and stayed home where we belong.. If it is at all posible for you to wrap your over inflated mind around this think how much better our country and the world would be if bush had never taken the thrown….After all this I say to you, you are insane as bush and a lier, you back a murderer who infact did pay for an abortion and who has killed a million people….You sicken me…You are a disgusting black hearted little troll just like R2…Be gone

I voted for a president who would not have left all those people there, who would have worked harder to evacuate, and at the very least would have turned on the f#cking television and seen the hell those poor people were living through.
You believe in a guy who thinks government should only work for him and his cronies and that “armies of compassion” should take care of everything else.
And did you or did you not go to medical school?

Do you have any idea how seldom this happens. And when it does it is in the rare instances that the fetusis so disabled that if it is born live it will only live a very short time and suffer or that the mother will not survive if she continues carrying the fetus. Why would somebody who want to terminate a pregnancy wait to have that kind of abortion.
March 18th, 2007 at 8:24 pmAnd natural causes or not, spontaneous aborting a fetus is abortion. So your god must be an abortionist. If he isn’t why doesn’t he insure that every fertilized egg is implanted and carried to term.
As a woman who underwent 10 years of infertility treatment and many disappointments along the way I can’t believe you have the nerve to even involve yourself in these discussions.
And about your disappearing posts, yeah right.
Yes, very funny “God”. And here I thought George Burns was dead?

Anyone who is proud of this war, or who supports this war, is in favor of that shit happening to innocent babies.
I am ashamed of what this country has become.

Well Jake at last we finally agree on something. I’m glad you’ve finally seen the light. I really didn’t think there was any hope for you at all you miserable old coot.

Quick gather the other women – Jake just said God is a woman. Maybe he’ll actually have one other intelligent thing to say soon.

I wouldn’t hold my breath. Heh.
Isn’t it amazing that two women who have gone through infertility treatment (you-10 years, and me 5-years), and know what it’s like to really want a child, but we are able respect the right of others to choose? When are these wingnuts going to learn to mind their own business?

Or else it was that Sangria I had out with dinner.
My bad.

March 18th, 2007 at 9:30 pmJake, if you’re as churchgoing a man as you claim, you really need to start paying attention while you’re there.
Last I heard, you god does not hand out passes to Heaven based upon attendance.
March 18th, 2007 at 9:38 pm#116- That’s right, Jake. There’s a lot more to being right than trying to convince everyone else that you are. Sometimes… you just have to talk the talk and walk the walk. Oh, and Bush sucks, big time!

Why? Because you’re an immoral, lying, hypocrite? Not everyone that goes to church behaves so reprehensibly – unless they’re *CONS*.
March 18th, 2007 at 11:05 pmI used to go to church Jake, and it was the self-righteous hypocrites like you who finally made me see that going to church did not a good person make.

When are you going to realize that a woman’s uterus is just that – a woman’s!!! Men, and Republican’ts, and yes, even other women, have no right to tell a woman what she should do with her own body. Her Body – her Choice – end of discussion.
March 19th, 2007 at 12:00 pmThank GOD! It was completely unfair that the Office for Men’s Health was getting so much more funding them the Women’s office. I mean, how could the Bushie’s not see that people would see the injustice in this? It became very obvious they were backing men and not women when they attempted to cut funding for the women. I hope this clears the story. Thankfully TP and others were on top of it. It was unfair that men were receiving a bigger entitlement then women. I am assuming both Men and Women are now getting equal funding. Right?
March 19th, 2007 at 2:25 pmNo, Rogerx2, men have the benefit of almost all medical studies ever done. We girls have to take care of each other, since you men are so good at looking out for each other.
Deal with it.
