Show Your Support for HR 2892 The Family Building Act

Should Sex Education Include Lessons on Infertility?

Most of the time education in middle school, if you are lucky enough to have sex education, focuses on NOT getting pregnant. Rarely does it broach the subject of infertility. Unless, of course, a certain woman’s infertility or secondary infertility quite possibly changes the course of history.
An article in yesterday’s Guardian thinks that should change.

“Oops, I forgot to have a baby!”

Somebody buy me this. Please.
I stumbled across this site, utterly by accident and now I want everything they have in stock.
What’s even better than the bumper sticker? It’s description:
Barren. We love that phrase! Dripping with piteous condescension, really.
The Oops I Forgot to Have a Baby Store caters primarily to those living childfree, by choice […]

Freebie Friday - Win a Pregnancy and Ovulation Test Strip Value Pack

Pee! Pee! Pee! (Sorry about that Beavis moment) But for some reason, us ladies trying to make babies without no drama love peeing on sticks. We can’t help it.
