But yes, an argument could be made that the availability of contraceptive devices worldwide has led to more sexual freedom that has tragic consequences in sub-Saharan Africa.

The U.S. should expand the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).

Organic milk is not safer than regular milk.

The use of Bisphenol A in plastic bottles does not pose a risk to human health.

The U.S. government should not provide universal healthcare.
