Women stock up on abortion pills, especially when there is news about restrictions

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:11:15 GMT

Thousands of women stocked up on abortion pills just in case they needed them, new research shows, with demand peaking in the past couple years at times when it looked like the medications might become harder to get.Medication abortion accounts for more than half of all abortions in the U.S., and typically involves two drugs: mifepristone and misoprostol. A research letter published Tuesday in JAMA Internal Medicine looked at requests for these pills from people who weren’t pregnant and sought them through Aid Access, a European online telemedicine service that prescribes them for future and immediate use.Aid Access received about 48,400 requests from across the U.S. for so-called “advance provision” from September 2021 through April 2023. Requests were highest right after news leaked in May 2022 that the Supreme Court would overturn Roe v. Wade — but before the formal announcement that June, researchers found.Nationally, the average number of daily requests shot up n...

Making a cooking resolution? These recipes will get you started.

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:11:15 GMT

If abiding by resolutions were as easy as setting them, perfection would be attainable and the self-improvement section of the bookstore would be cobweb city.

Ask Amy: Parents worry about son’s SEAL plan

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:11:15 GMT

Dear Amy: My wife and I have a son who is 22 years old.He will be graduating from an excellent college with a bachelor’s degree in economics.He’s a smart and physically fit young man who has great potential.He plans to join the Navy after he graduates, and his goal is to train to become a Navy SEAL.He wants to “make a difference” in the world and is very gung-ho with defending/serving the United States.Although his intentions are admirable, we are aware that becoming a Navy SEAL is extremely difficult and that the process pushes applicants beyond their physical limits.He is, of course, aware of the rigors of SEAL training and is preparing himself for it.We are extremely concerned about our son being sent into combat.
