But of all the major changes that have taken place since the 60's, one is hardy visible at all; the change that has taken place in the Pill. In 1960, the Pill contained as much as 150 mgs of the hormone estrogen. Today, it's down to 35 mg s/day. It's a fraction of the original dosage. Yet, today's Pill is as effective as yesterday's. In fact, it still the most effective birth control available other than sterilization. But is the Pill right for you? You should see your doctor to help you answer that. If the answer is yes, then the ultimate decision is yours. And it's important that you learn all you can about oral contraceptives. First and foremost, what are the risks? Does the Pill cause cancer? Will it make you less fertile? Do you need to take a rest from it? These are just a few questions that have surrounded the Pill since 1960. Questions which must be addressed by you and your physician. What about the Pill and breast cancer? Although there are conflicting reports concerning this issue, the Centers for Disease Control reported that women who took the Pill, even for 15 years, ran no higher risk of breast cancer than women who used the CDC also reported that ovaries in substantially less common among women who use oral contraceptives. The Pill has been shown to have other health benefits as well. Pill users are less likely to develop pelvic inflammatory disease (tubal infections), benign breast disease and urinary incontinence than to mention menstrual cramps. But if the Pill is so effective at preventing pregnancy, can it later prevent you from having a baby when you're ready to have one? Studies in the Pill have Now that you know what the risks aren't, you should know what the risks are. For example, if you are taking the Pill, you should not smoke. Especially if you are over 35. Cigarette smoking is known to increase the risk of serious and possibly life-threatening adverse effects on the heart and blood vessels from Pill use. What's more, women with certain conditions or medical histories should not use the Pill. One piece of advice you may have heard if you're on the Pill is that you should take an occasional rest from it. Yet there no medical basis for this advice. Furthermore, a rest could turn out to be anything but restful, since switching to a less effective form of birth control increases your chances for unplanned pregnancy. indicate that if you were fertile before you took the Pill, taking it will not affect your ability to have children later. Some women may experience a short period of readjustment after discontinuing the Pill. Even so, most women usually become pregnant soon. Taking the Pill is easy. Deciding whether or not to take it isn't. That's why it's so important for you to make an informed decision. Continuing with this discussion, birth control methods. Seek out reliable sources. Talk to your doctor. Even if you are already on the Pill, you should see your doctor at least once a year. And read the patient information regularly. You've already taken a step in the dropped considerably. right direction. Just think, since you right reading this, there's a good chance your knowledge level about the Pill has increased.

They have well known political risks, so traditionally have been used only in the closing stages of a campaign, and only when a candidate is holding onto a shirt and narrowing lead or getting caught up in the campaign. This year, the campaign book is The ad is not alone — indeed, there are many political spots with almost no campaign support from the nation. But it would be the product of an incumbent senator who by all accounts enjoys a double-digit election tradition called campaign wisdom. The Associated Press WASHINGTON — In probably the most slashing attack so far among the 15 Senate races across the country, Republican candidate Lautenberg calls opponent Pete Dawks "a hypocrite" and concludes that he has never there, say anything to get elected. be written, and University of Virginia political scientist Larry Sahabo has a name for the new strain of negative advertising. "They're infectious ads." Sahara "They try to infect the opposition from incumbents attacking challengers before they have a chance to win." In addition, he says, there no longer are news from biographical ads early in a campaign, to positive issue-oriented ads, to negative spots in the late fall. "Negatives are employed now as standard equipment," says Sabato, noting that Lauteren went straight to the labor department on the air after Labor Day. Tom Mason, spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, said "I don't know how you do it." The name of the stuff that is now there "out now."
