Pregnancy Test Commercials--

Okay, I hate pregnancy test commercials--specifically the new ones for First Response which seems to be telling you without saying it outright, that they can determine whether or not you're fertile. It's bad enough that there are a lot of women out there who are fairly uneducated about the way the body works to prepare to get pregnant, but now we're adding fuel to the fire and telling them that a simple pee on a stick test can determine whether or not you can get pregnant. How about we start educating girls properly -- and earlier -- so that they know what their body is doing? I know a lot of people think that girls simply need to know about abstinence, but that solves nothing. I plan to tell my daughter how her body works...what a miracle conception is -- and all the various ways that families are created. I hope you will too. And while we're at it, lets make sure boys know what's going on too. Men are still often the last one tested when looking and fertility issues, and yet they're 50% of the equation.
