Confusing Health Story of the Day

Every day, there's a new health/science story that offers new info about cancer, drugs, obesity, etc. And, every day, we grow more confused about what to believe. We'll use this feature to highlight some of the confusing/contradictory articles. If we can provide some clarity we will. But don't hold your breath. Here is today's:

- "New federal guidelines ask all females capable of conceiving a baby to treat themselves -- and to be treated by the health care system -- as pre-pregnant, regardless of whether they plan to get pregnant anytime soon." Link

We're all for women taking care of themselves, but this decree feels oddly obvious and draconian. The government guidelines leave a lot of room for interpretation. Just who qualifies as 'pre-pregnant'? Teens? 42-year-olds. Is it similar to saying: 'Americans, you're all in a state of Pre-Death, so take care of yourselves."

I think your STUBY is ridiculous for Sean Preston. First the slip would and does happen to everyone. Your comments are just like everything else on the incident blown out of proportion. Get a life. The other is that the car eat incident is not ILLEGAL. No foul there either. Maybe if you got your facts right you would quit posting stupid crap like this.

Think that is strange, imagine the women and lawyers who show up in the health care system demanding health care for pregnancy just in case they can become pregnant. Pre-pregnant health care of pregnancy for a possible future of being pregnant. This type of problem was seen under the nobility legal system before Blackstone's Commentaries were written where the only way to get a case through is to lie, because the courts are corrupt where perverted weasels (often of noteworthy people) populate the system. Maybe Satan made them do it?
