IUI, IVF for lesbians

The sad reality is that despite all the small advances made by gays and lesbians, they are openly discriminated in all walks of life. Homophobia is actually on the rise, largely driven by Republican politics and hatred created by many Christian groups.

The case of Guadalupe "Lupita" Benítez highlights how the name of Jesus Christ can be used by so-called Christians to find an excuse to discriminate. That is exactly what these so-called doctors Christine Brody and Douglas Fenton were doing. They belong to the same category of Christians who supposedly value life but strongly support death penalty. Similarly, they want to protect the institution of marriage but are fighting strongly against gay marriage laws.

The decision by California Supreme Court means that hopefully doctors will stop telling you why you cannot be a mom and do what their job is, that is, to dispense medicine. I wouldn't be surprised if something did not go right because the pharmacists already have the right to deny you your legally prescribed medication because their so-called God tells them not to.

While the last thing on a couple's mind when they are trying to become parents (particularly after 40 when each day matters) is a lawsuit but if you have to do it, it is worth it. Lupita's fight paid off. She is now a happy mom.

Exotic jewelry from Morgan Soule; the Morgan Jean collection

Imagine being inspired while riding through the ancient city of Petra on horseback, soaking in the Dead Sea in Israel, and snorkeling the Molokini crater in Maui? If everything went well, I would have probably compiled a poetry collection. Just kidding. Jewelry designer Morgan Soule went through these experiences and she ended up creating hand-made necklaces and earrings for the fashion savvy woman.

Some of the collections that she has developed are:

Chatuchak Clusters: From items available at Chatuchak Weekend Market in Bangkok, Thailand. The flea market is the largest of its kind, covering over 35 acres with 15,000 shops and over 200,000 visitors each day!

Swami’s: Located along the historical Highway 101 in Morgan’s surfer hometown in Southern California—you’ll find Swami’s Beach. With world-class waves and beautiful bluff top views, Swami’s is a local treasure.

Ka Jok See Rocker - The trendy nightlife and restaurant destination in Phuket, Thailand.

Molokini - Named after a popular tropical snorkeling destination in Hawaii.

Angkor - Named after the Angkor Wat Temples in Cambodia, these jewelry pieces are made in simple to intricate designs, much like the temples which range from single towers made of bricks to vast stone temple complexes.
