Note: I edited the title because I thought it was misleading to just say "miscarriages", even if that's what it says in the article. Any empahsis in the article is from me.

Last week, the Utah House and Senate passed a bill that would make it a crime for a woman to have a miscarriage, and would in most instances make induced abortion a crime. The bill still needs the signature of the governor to be signed into law, but already it is causing concern across the United States.

Dan Patrick, R-Houston, respectively. They outline the changes in procedures doctors would have to go through when a woman opts to abort her child.

State Rep. John Adams (R-OH) has re-introduced radical legislation that would prevent a woman from having an abortion until she gets written consent from the biological father. As proposed, the bill triggers criminal penalties against women for “providing a false biological father.” Adams says the “first-degree misdemeanor” would be punishable with up to “six months” in jail and a “$1,000 fine.”

Practicum Pictures on Facebook
I've set up an album on Facebook for pictures I take at my practicum.
You can view the album even if you don't have a FB account. To view the album, click here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=613909&id=575805173&l=dc78eb52c0
** Caution: Some pictures may be a little unsettling due to their content (lots of STI, HIV, & Hep. C awareness). Please view at your own risk. I don't plan on uploading anything disturbing or upsetting, but just in case, since some people have different sensitivities.

Follow YouthCo on Twitter
YouthCo, the place where I'm doing my final practicum, has a Twitter account.
They are having their launch party this upcoming Saturday (Jan. 22) to celebrate the launch of their new community engagement campaign. They plan to focus on how many people think HIV and AIDS is "a thing of the past" because treatments and other help are available, and to try to get the gay community in Vancouver (and others) to either volunteer, donate, help spread the word, etc.

What's Wrong With Society?

What's wrong with today's world? What is wrong with today's society, where it's apparently "cool" for an 11 year old to wear adult-type make-up and get dressed up to look like a skanky reality TV "star" from the show Jersey Shore? Where were the parents, and why did they apparently ok this?

First Day Down
So yesterday's first day at YouthCo was a success!
It was a very quiet day, with only a few members coming in throughout the course of the day. Otherwise it was just the staff and I working on stuff. I was given a research project to start, so I spent my shift on my laptop working and listening to music. 8D Totally awesome way to spend my practicum hours, if you ask me.

Confirmed Final Practicum
First post of the new year - My final practicum has been confirmed for YouthCo HIV & Hep. C Community Outreach in Vancouver! I'm to start on the 11th and I'm very excited. :D
I'm going to look into getting my student loan repaid by the end of the month too, so I can reapply for another grant and bursaries in this semester.
