Male Contraception???

[live4today]

What a heavenly idea, don't you think?

How many men reading this would take a shot or pill as a birth control method since it is OBVIOUS that the condom isn't being utilized to control "unwanted pregnancies", and they'll never be 100% "leakproof" anyway.

Any nurses know the most recent studies on the male contraceptive meds?

No, my husband does not need them, but we have son-in-laws and other male relatives that might. Not to mention the male patients we care for that may inquire as to such once the pill or shot becomes a "hit" among men. Just something we nurses should be abreast on, don't you think?

Deb - yep. I know people give her a hard time but I started listening to her on a regular basis and really, she doesn't sound all that different than us. We are frustrated by people's stupid life choices all the time and can get rather strident here too.

I especially like her choice of supporting children in foster care. She has this "My Stuff" organization which supplies bags filled with things foster kids can call their own. They get shuffled around so much. Blankets, toiletries, books, etc. And she is a big adoption proponent.

At work yesterday, a friend of mine was telling me about an ongoing situation with a woman who delivered a baby girl last year. Both mom and babe tested positive for meth. We turned them into CPS. Nothing happened. Since then, I've seen this girl under the influence of something, with her other kids UNRESTRAINED in her car, driving 80 on a rural road. I turned her in. Nothing happened. It has been raining here the last few days. This friend lives next door to this woman and said her baby was out in the yard in a diaper standing in the rain and toddled toward the road. When the baby was brought back into the house by a neighbor, the mom and her "friends" were passed out. So, Dr. Laura's advice would have been either don't be so selfish to keep making babies or give this poor child a chance by giving her up for adoption. Of course, I'm mad at CPS.

And since when did political correctness stop you teeituptom?:)

Come on, tell us how you really feel.
