Question by : What would you think about only letting women vote on women’s health issues?
I think that it would be a great idea to only allow women to vote on bills that effect women’s health. The way I look at it is if you are a man pregnancy is something you will never have any idea about and men should not have the right to make a decision for a woman. And yes if you can think of an issue that only effects men I would be glad to give you the floor and say only men can vote on the issue but I couldn’t think of one.

But then it gets complicated because what only affects men and women? Pregnancy could affect men in some way. Pregnancy doesn’t affect men at all according what about the emotional impact of being a father? To you that is taking all responsibility away from men for being parents etc.

These kind of rules would halt the genders progress towards equality.

If your Medicaid Program does not limit which health plans you have to chose you might be able to use it at any office that takes medicaid. It’s always a good idea to contact them before scheduling your first appointment and find out if they accept your insurance plan.

On Thursday, Oct.13, Christiana Care hosted more than 300 women at the first ever Girls’ Night Out event at the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center.

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Attendees at this free event took advantage of lectures on breast-cancer diagnosis and prevention, and the role that genetics plays in cancer prevention. The lectures featured experts from the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center, including Diana Dickson-Witmer, M.D., associate medical director of the Breast Center, radiologist Jacqueline Napoletano, M.D., and genetic counselor Chandra Somerman.

Girls’ Night Out attracted a diverse crowd of women of all ages, races and ethnicities from throughout the area, including New Castle, Kent and Sussex Counties, Southeastern Pennsylvania, Southern New Jersey and Cecil County, Md.

“I have a sister-in-law who had breast cancer,” said Wilma Whittington, a Girls’ Night Out attendee. “I came so I can spread the word to my family and friends about the importance of taking care of yourself and prevention.”

Christiana Care staff provided free bone-density and blood-pressure screenings for 186 attendees, while Breast Center staff led tours of their new offices and performed mammograms for 40 women. The inaugural event also featured healthy food demonstrations, a photo booth and giveaways provided throughout the evening.

Event organizers partnered with the Avon Foundation for Women and Susan G. Komen for the Cure to help promote the event and provide on-site education and resources.

The event was a collaboration of several departments within Christiana Care, including Women’s Health Services, Community Outreach & Education, the Breast Center, Imaging, Center for Heart & Vascular Health, Preventive Medicine & Rehabilitation Institute’s Food & Nutrition Services, and the Helen F. Graham Cancer Center.

Heart disease is the #1 killer of women. Experts from Stanford’s Women’s Heart Health Clinic urge all women to know their numbers, listen to their bodies, and spread awareness about women’s heart disease.
