Pictures Of Aborted Babies On Planned Parenthood Doors

Pictures of Aborted Babies on the "Morning After Pill."

Hey folks,

"Hey there Pete. I know that you stopped smoking. At least I think you did. But you have always been as smoking advocate. I'm just wondering what you think of this."

I do not know if I would call myself a Smoking Advocate. I am all about FREEDOM. It's Legal. The Government makes a Boat Load of money on the Taxes. It is a product for Adults. If you chose to smoke, then it's YOUR choice. It's called Freedom.

There is NO, til this very day, NO, absolute Proof that second Hand Smoke caused ANYTHING but annoyance to others. I know, I know. They have told the lie so often most just accept it as fact. Is it bad for you? Yup. Should you refrain from it? Yup. If you never start, should you never start? Yup. Is it hard to quit? Of course.

Smoking is bad for you. It DOES cause sickness and disease in some people. It is a Crapshoot. A Gamble. Like playing Russian Roulette. Does it mean that if you smoke you WILL die of some hideous, and horrifying disease? No. But there is a better chance of it than if you do not smoke.

That's not good enough for the Liberal busybodies out there. Those that think that they know better than you what is best for you. No. They NOW want to put obscene pictures on Pacts of Cigarettes. Here is the Link: AOL Health - Feds Want Corpses, Rotting Teeth on Cigarette Packages

(Nov. 10) -- Images of corpses, rotting teeth and diseased lungs will take up half the space on a pack of cigarettes, under federal proposals unveiled today.

The graphic new labels are designed to scare smokers into quitting by showing what can happen to them. The warnings are required under a law passed last year that gave the Food and Drug Administration the power to regulate tobacco products.

The FDA is proposing a new requirement that cigarette packs carry larger, graphic warning labels to cover half of the package -- both front and back. Click through to see some examples of the labels.

The proposed warnings can be seen on the FDA website. Among the most brutal: a corpse with a toe tag; stained, rotten teeth in a mouth with a gaping sore; babies surrounded by cigarette smoke; and a set of diseased, blackened lungs shown next to a pair of healthy, pink ones.

"Today marks an important milestone in protecting our children and the health of the American public," said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

OK, so they want to put these picture on Packs of cigarettes to show what MIGHT happen to you if you smoke. To Show the reality of Smoking. OK. Then LETS show the reality of another CHOICE. Abortion.

Yup. I'll be all for the warning photos on Cigarettes, that depict what COULD happen to you if you smoke too much, as long as they start posting pictures of Aborted babies, on the doors of Planned Parenthood. What about on the "Morning After Pill?" This is not what COULD happen. This is WHAT DOES HAPPEN. This is the end result of THAT choice. You want to deal with Reality. Then LETS deal with Reality.

Yes it is true that some who smoke will get sick. I know. Believe me. But it is NOT true that EVERYONE who smokes will get sick. Look at someone like George Burns. My Friend Vera. Others out there. These folks smoked their whole lives and lived into their 90s and into their 100s. Yet, some people that have NEVER Smoked, still die of Cancer. Like I said, it a Crapshoot.

However, if a Woman goes into Planned Parenthood, and says I no longer want this Baby, well, the end result IS the Death and Destruction of the LIFE. I know, some think showing the pictures are hideous and outrageous. Why? THAT is dealing in Reality. That IS what happens. That IS the end result of that choice. So what's the problem?

OH. I see. It's only offensive if you do something to offend Liberals. Smokers are too stupid to know that it's bad for them. People are too stupid to know what they should and shouldn't eat. You are too stupid to know what kind of light bulbs to put in your house. Too stupid to know what kind of Car to drive, and what temperature to keep your home. But those who willing seek to MURDER their own Child? Well, they need not see those hideous pictures. "No, no, no. That is just propaganda and an attempt to brainwash some poor innocent Woman into keeping her Child. That's just wrong. You should be ashamed of yourself for even suggesting such a thing." {Sigh}No that is showing Reality.

You're all for it for Smokers. Why not for Murdered Babies? THAT would be showing Reality.

Public Service Announcement, Kid Drug Recall

Health And Science For Sunday 050210

FDA Provides Consumer Advice Following Recall of Products for Infants and Children

SILVER SPRING, Md., May 1 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Working in consultation with the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), McNeil Consumer Healthcare is implementing a voluntary recall of infant and children's liquid products due to manufacturing deficiencies which may affect quality, purity or potency. Following McNeil's recall announcement on Friday evening, the FDA is providing additional advice to consumers.

"We want to be certain that consumers discontinue using these products and that they know what to do if they have concerns about a specific product," said Commissioner of Food and Drugs Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D.

"While the potential for serious health problems is remote, Americans deserve medications that are safe, effective and of the highest quality. We are investigating the products and facilities associated with this recall and will provide updates as we learn more."

What products are affected by this recall?

The products include certain liquid infant's and children's Tylenol®, Motrin®, Zyrtec®, and Benadryl® products. For a complete list of recalled products, please see the recall notice:

http://www.mcneilproductrecall.com/page.jhtml?id=/include/new_recall.inc

Why were these products recalled?

McNeil Consumer Healthcare is initiating this voluntary recall because some of these products may not meet required quality standards. As a precautionary measure, parents and caregivers should not administer these products to their children. Some of the products included in the recall may contain a higher concentration of active ingredient than specified; others contain inactive ingredients that may not meet internal testing requirements; and others may contain tiny particles. While the potential for serious medical events is remote, FDA advises consumers who have purchased these recalled products to discontinue use.

What can I use instead of the recalled products?

There are a number of other products on the market, including generic versions of the recalled products, which are intended for use in infants and children and are not affected by the recall. FDA recommends that you check the labeling of these products. If you have any questions, you should discuss this with your pharmacist or other health care professional. FDA does not anticipate that there will be a shortage of alternative products.

Can I give my child adult strength Tylenol® or Motrin® products that are not being recalled?

No. Consumers should not give drug products to infants and children that are not intended for those age groups. This could result in serious harm.

What should I do if I have some of the medication at home?

FDA recommends that consumers stop using these products.

For further instructions, see McNeil's website at:

www.mcneilproductrecall.com

I gave my child some of the medication. What do I do? Is my child at risk?

According to the information the FDA has received at this time, the potential for serious medical problems is remote. If your child exhibits any unexpected symptoms after use of any of the recalled products, contact your health care professional.

If I think my child may be having an adverse reaction to one of the products involved in this recall, who should I notify?

Adverse reactions or quality problems experienced with the use of these products may be reported to FDA's MedWatch Adverse Event Reporting program either online, by regular mail, or by fax, using the contact information at the bottom of this sheet. The agency asks health care professionals and consumers to report any adverse reactions to the FDA's MedWatch Program by fax at 1-800-FDA-0178, by mail at MedWatch, FDA, 5600 Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20852-9787, or on the MedWatch website at www.fda.gov/medwatch.

Caffeine and Alcohol

Health and Science 111509

Hey folks,

You all know I love Coffee. I drink about three pots a day. Yes. Pots. I have been know to indulge in adult beverages from time to time. Not daily, but during get together and an occasional couple of beers at BBQs or Friends houses.

If I feel that I've had enough, unusually about three beers or a couple of adult beverages, I switch to coffee. So I should be all for these decaffeinated Alcoholic drinks. Right? No. Not really. All you get with these are an awake Drunk. But that is not the only problems with these new drinks. According to Health Day - FDA Questions Safety of Caffeinated Alcoholic Drinks Companies asked to show proof of safety and lawfulness of selling such beverages By Steven Reinberg HealthDay Reporter

FRIDAY, Nov. 13 (HealthDay News) -- Federal health officials said Friday that they plan to look into the safety and legality of making and selling popular alcohol drinks that contain caffeine.

Prompted by a request from several states' attorneys general, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has given 30 manufacturers of such drinks 30 days to show the agency why their products are safe and under what authority they think they can sell those products.

"The agency has asked manufacturers of caffeinated alcoholic beverages to provide FDA with the data necessary to demonstrate that caffeine can be safely and lawfully added to alcoholic beverages," FDA Principal Deputy Commissioner Dr. Joshua Sharfstein said during a morning teleconference.

"The agency is not aware of the basis upon which manufacturers have concluded that the use of caffeine added to alcoholic beverages is 'generally recognized as safe,'" he added.

These high-octane drinks are popular on college campuses, with previous research suggesting up to 26 percent of students consume the beverages, according to an FDA news release.

Yeah I know, Collage Campuses? You will ALWAYS find Alcohol on Collage Campuses, in many different forms. That is just part of the Collage experience. Right, wrong, or in different, this will never stop.

Currently, the FDA has approved caffeine only as an addition to soft drinks, Sharfstein noted. The U.S. Treasury Department's Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau oversees the manufacture of alcoholic beverages, but that agency only requires that alcoholic beverages contain ingredients that satisfy FDA requirements, the FDA news release noted.

Concerns about these drinks was raised after companies such as Miller and Anheuser-Busch began selling such products, drinks that were graced with names that included "Spykes" and "Sparks." Attorneys general in several states sued the companies, and last year both companies agreed to stop selling these products, Sharfstein said.

The letter from the attorneys general to the FDA was spearhead by the state of Connecticut, Utah and Guam and signed by 16 others, Sharfstein said.

Quoting from the letter, he said that "the consumption of caffeinated alcoholic beverages has been associated with increased risk of serious injury to oneself and others as a result of driving while intoxicated, sexual assault and other dangerous behavior."

Not sticking up for these drinks, but uh, Alcohol WITHOUT Caffeine cause "serious injury to oneself and others as a result of driving while intoxicated, sexual assault and other dangerous behavior." My main concern is that because it DOES contain Caffeine, with is overrated to begin with as a stimuli, some may think that it WILL help them stay alert while drinking. Other than than, I'm concerned with the safety issues with the Drinks themselves. Then again, I do agree with this.

The concern is that caffeine stimulates people to drink more, Sharfstein said.

"Being wide awake and drunk at the same time increases the risk of engaging in several forms of violent or other high-risk physical behaviors that can cause injury," he said, quoting the letter from the attorneys general.

{Laughing} So it prevents you from passing out sooner. Which of course would put an end to whatever you were or were planing to do. Good point. {smile}

Companies receiving FDA's letter include United Brands of Los Angeles, the maker of "Joose," which combines malt liquor with caffeine, and Mix Master Beverage Co. of Stateline, Nev., which makes a product called "24/7," Sharfstein said.

You know, truthfully, I have never tried any of these. If they taste anything like those Nonalcoholic Energy Drinks that my Niece likes some much, you can keep them. Tastes like cough syrup to me. I've tried several different ones, I hate all of them.

Truth is folks, as long as you are not an Alcoholic, of age, and drink responsibly, there is nothing wrong with an Adult Beverage from time to time. Many studies show that drinking a glass of Red Wine daily is EXTREMELY beneficial health wise. But Caffeine added or not, to much Alcohol is NOT a good thing. So be careful out there.
