Morning After Pill [posted 11/6/98]
Question: I have read in several magazines that you can use a combination of Triphasil to get the "morning after" birth control effect. What is this combination?

Answer: Varies on whom you talk to between 4 - 6 taken as soon after sex as possible. It will usually produce some nausea and occasional vomiting.

Decision
Question: I have a question that needs to be answered by an expert for my class. It is about abortion and whose decision is it. The woman or society and why?

Answer: That has been argued for the last 80 years and like most philosophical questions depends on the assumptions one starts with. Currently, it is both. The woman's until a certain point of gestation and societies after that point. This will get more difficult as we are able to keep children/fetuses alive at earlier gestation points.
