But is abortion really being treated like any other women’s health service? In rural areas, it can be hard to find a GP who will prescribe abortion services and sometimes there aren’t any local pharmacists who stock the medication needed for early medi...

An impressive cast provides memorable performances, include standout moments by Jack Black, Denis Leary, Will Patton, Michael Shannon, Holly Hunter, and Dennis Hopper.

2018-08-2015 minEmbodied Living Yoga26: Pranayama and Breath of FireThis episode discusses Pranayama and what this practice has to do with our Words and Emotions.
