A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that 54.4% of pelvic exams and 71.9% of Pap smears conducted in teen girls in the U.S. are potentially unnecessary and may expose women to preventable harm.[i]
While it’s clear that pelvic exams are an important screening procedure for cervical cancer, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and the American Cancer Society both recommend that these screenings do not take place before the age of 21 unless a patient has symptoms of cervical cancer.[ii],[iii]
Yet many gynecologists continue to perform these exams at yearly wellness exams in asymptomatic patients, despite increased reports of anxiety, pain and feelings of disempowerment in women who undergo these examinations.

That vid was sickening.
I wonder what other atrocities are going on while they would have us focused on the take-down hoax. They keep dishin’ all manner of perversion and intrusion, heightened schemes robbing us blind, killing our culture, or at least trying to, for I have to believe we will prevail. Yet, I’m thinking of yesterday’s headline, a little quiet headline about hundreds of Mexican vehicles being allowed to cross our border to “go shopping.” What the hell kind of insanity is this?!! Seems we’re only “contagious” when and where they say we are.
I wish it was the eve of December 24th, with all the particular feelings that come with that particular eve. I’m focusing there, focusing on victory. A Lexington/Concord moment first, and then Christmas Eve.
