Illinois Court Hands Down Ruling On Plan B

After a 2005 mandate requiring all pharmacies supply the controversial contraceptive and a 2011 challenge to the law, an Illinois appellate court has made a ruling about the drug's distribution.

It is something that everyone who has turned on a TV or read a newspaper in the past few years is aware of: the power struggle between women’s rights to contraceptives and those who say that it infringes on their religious beliefs. In most cases, the argument was directed at Barack Obama and his health care reform which ignited a debate over whether or not employers had to provide health care that supplied birth control to their employees despite it being against their religious beliefs. Realistic Dildos are an ideal sex toys for you to have fun.

Recently, however, the fight took place on a state, rather than federal, level. In 2005, governor Rod Blagojevich (yes, THAT Blagojevich. But let’s not allow the political failings and corruption of a particular politician overshadow what was a good policy) mandated that all pharmacies in the state of Illinois be required to supply Plan B. The drug could legally be accessed without prescription by all those under 17, and anyone under 17 with a prescription. Despite the legality of the drug, many pharmacies across the nation have expressed resistance against supplying the drug. Illinois was no exception.

In 2011, an Illinois judge filed an injunction. The argument was basically that there had been no evidence that the medication had ever been denied on religious grounds and that the law was by nature impartial because it targeted religious objectors. An appellate court handed down their ruling: they agreed with the judge. They decided that the Illinois Health Care Right of Conscience Act protected those pharmacists who didn’t want to supply the drug.

While many in the state applauded the defense of their religious freedoms, “This decision is a great victory for religious freedom," Mark Rienzi remarked after the Illinois appellate court’s decision was reported. Rienzi is a senior counselor for the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. The Becket Fund's website (becketfund.org) proclaims: “The Becket Fund for Religious Liberty is a non-profit, public-interest legal and educational institute that protects the free expression of all faiths. The Becket Fund exists to vindicate a simple but frequently neglected principle: that because the religious impulse is natural to human beings, religious expression is natural to human culture.” The Becket Fund lists their “Top 10 Victories” and among them are upholding the constitutionality of the phrase “under god” in the Pledge of Allegiance. The foundation's main premise is to go from court to court and reverse rulings and laws that they feel are unjust considering civilian's religious freedoms. They are a sort of religious American Civil Liberties Union.

But for every person who was overjoyed at the news, there were as many who were dismayed as what they saw as a big loss for women’s reproductive rights and freedoms. "We are dismayed that the court expressly refused to consider the interests of women who are seeking lawful prescription medication and essentially held that the religious practice of individuals trumps women's health care," Ed Yohnka, spokesperson of the ACLU, remarked following hearing the news of the Illinois court’s ruling. "We think the court could not be more wrong."

The Becket Fund has also reported that similar rulings have come out of Washington state.

I Never Say I Need Him

Countdown – less than three months until Jake and I get hitched! The invitations are in production now and should be here in two weeks. This is really happening! But, this isn’t about that. It’s actually just a quick something that Jake said to me the other day that I wanted to get your take on. Ben Wa Balls and Ben Wah Balls are one of the oldest types of women's sex toys.

Jake said that while he tells me sometimes (not frequently, but not infrequently either) how important it is that I support his decisions. Bullet Vibrator and Bullet Eggs are small size sex toys and resemble bullet and egg Whenever he is stressed about something, he always asks if he has my support. Sometimes this is emotional, like when he was scared to leave his job to start his own company. Sometimes it is financial – now that he doesn’t make a salary, sometimes he can’t predict his income and isn’t sure he’ll get paid by a client in time to pay one of our bills. Whatever he asks for, I always give it, of course!

But…he says that I never really tell him that I need his support.

Which I don’t think is strictly true – I ask his advice about things all the time, or tell him that I need a hug after a rough day. When I moved to his city to live with him and had no job, I was a complete basket case and needed both financial and emotional support for about three months until I started working. But then, that was four years ago.

Lately, he’s right. I don’t really come to him for support very often (maybe a tenth as often as he comes to me). I have a job that I do well, where everyone loves me, and for that I receive a predictable paycheck and fantastic benefits. The woman who had my job before me had it over 30 years, so it’s a stable job as well. I have a budget that enables me to pay all my bills (though it’s a stretch sometime). Meanwhile, he is winding down his involvement with the startup that he left his job for and starting another (one of the partners in the first startup was too difficult to work with, but it was her company originally so it’s complicated). He is owed thousands of dollars in backpay that his clients either haven’t gotten around to giving him or are trying to get him to write off.

In short, he has taken a lot of risks in the past year, and I have been holding steady. Which was the agreement – that we both shouldn’t change our whole lives up at once, and that if there was something adventurous I wanted to do/change about my life, I could do so once he was steady-as-she-goes with his new business. But does this dynamic affect his perception of himself as a man and provider?

On the one hand, I feel kind of like it’s important for a woman to make her man feel needed. On the other hand, he is so busy/stressed with his new company that I would feel bad putting an emotional burden on him when it’s not even necessary. I honestly don’t have any stress in my life right now, and he has TONS of it. In fact, it’s so unequal that I feel guilty, like I can’t even mention how stable and happy everything is on my end. Plus, every time I have asked him recently to help me with something (usually a wedding-related task, these days), it ends up taking five times longer and being half as good than it would have if I’d just done it myself.

What’s a girl to do? Insight into the male psyche appreciated!

PicoBong Honi Bullet Vibrator Review


The PicoBong Honi Bullet Vibrator is a fun version of a classic bullet vibrator. Some women may find it’s not strong enough, while others will like playing with it during masturbation or with a partner.

Bullet vibrators are among the “must have” sex toys for both women and couples. They’re versatile, small, discreet and you can pretty much take them anywhere and put them anywhere. Many bullet vibrators of the past were attached to a remote control with a cord, and there are some still designed that way, but newer bullet vibes are cordless and wireless. Such is the case with the PicoBong Honi – it’s a wireless, cordless bullet vibrator that is perfect for use alone or with a partner.

The PicoBong Honi is cute, modern and cordless. The silicone covering is smooth and silky, and feels great when used with a water based lubricant. The bullet can go on either the outside and stimulate the clitoris, or be placed inside and stimulate the g-spot – such as during oral sex with a partner. It can even be used on the nipples, scrotum or anywhere else you please! It’s exceptionally versatile, small and discreet.

Unfortunately, the PicoBong Honi only takes one AAA battery – and as a result, the vibrations are actually quite weak, especially when compared to other bullet style vibrators. For some women, especially those new to sex toys, this product may be enough to take them over the edge – but it’s not going to satisfy all women. Many women will find that the vibrations are nice and will definitely turn them on, but the highest setting doesn’t do much more than simply create the desire for more intense, harder vibrations. This may be a good toy for foreplay, but during masturbation, you may want to select something a little stronger.

The PicoBong Honi Bullet Vibrator is definitely a cute toy, but it really doesn’t hit the mark as far as vibrations go. With only one AAA battery to power the bullet, it can fall short of “orgasmic” for many women. However, it can make a fun toy to play with when you’re with a partner, or to use during foreplay to “awaken” the nerves in preparation for sex or another sex toy that is more powerful. It technically can be inserted since there is a loop to hang on to when you need to remove it, but the vibrations aren’t any better inside than they are outside. If you’re a beginner, this may just work for you but if you’re not, you’re better off getting another bullet with more vibration power.

The Full PicoBong Honi Review

The PicoBong Honi comes in three colors – black, pink and teal. It’s good for both women and couples, and can be a lot of fun when used on the nipples, clitoris, scrotum or inside the vagina. It’s cordless and requires only one AAA battery. The different vibration levels and patterns are controlled by simply pushing the plus or minus sign that is embedded in the PicoBong logo.

The bullet has a loop attached to it that makes it easier to hold, and easier to get out of the vagina if you decide to use it for g-spot stimulation. The soft, silky silicone covering feels nice on the body, but cannot be used with silicone lubricant or the material will start to degrade. Use only with water based lubricant.

Unfortunately, as cute as the PicoBong Honi Bullet Vibrator is, it falls short in the performance department. There are a number of stronger bullet vibrators out there – even cordless ones – and even though the Honi looks great, it just doesn’t deliver as far as vibrations go. The vibrations are weak and even the highest setting will leave you wanting more. It may do the job for some women, but it won’t for most, especially for women who are more experienced with sex,Male Masturbators and sex toys.

The PicoBong Honi is, however, hypoallergenic and body safe – it’s made only with silicone and hard plastic, so there are no phthalates here. It’s small enough to fit in your purse or pocket, and it is fairly quiet – most likely because the vibrations aren’t all that strong. You could even use it in the same room as someone (say, under a blanket) and they wouldn’t be able to hear you. It’s also waterproof, so you can take it in the tub, shower, pool or bath. However, these positive features may not be enough to outweigh the one glaring negative – that it’s just not strong enough to take you all the way to orgasm-land. You’ll likely be left turned on without being able to go over the edge when using this product.

Overall, if you like the look of the PicoBong Honi and aren’t concerned with strong vibrations (or don’t need them to reach climax), then this product may be a good choice for you. If you’re looking for stronger, more intense clitoral or g-spot vibrations, another bullet vibrator like the LELO Mia may be a better option for you.
