Issue 3 Thumbs Up

Rom-Coms

It’s always a great idea to watch romantic comedies, but it’s even more perfect when ‘tis the season.
For some reason, rom-coms with the number 10 in the title are works of art. For a ‘90s-style high school love story with the Heath Ledger, “10 Things I Hate About You” (1999) is the perfect watch. For a truly funny love story, you must watch “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” (2003).
For a slow-burn that really tugs at the heartstrings, “Love, Rosie” (2014) is an underrated must watch. “When Harry Met Sally” (1989) also portrays the will-they-won’t-they trope starring iconic Meg Ryan amidst the backdrop of New York City.

Valentine’s Day Playlist

Now that Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to listen to some songs that celebrate love and connection.
Some classic songs to show the people that you appreciate, whether they’re your significant other or a good friend, are “I Live For You” by George Harrison, and the “My Blue Heaven” cover by The Smashing Pumpkins, “Fade Into You” by Mazzy Star or “Everlong” by the Foo Fighters or.
But maybe you’re feeling bitter this Valentine’s Day because of a recent break up.
In this case, some songs to check out are “Crazy On You” by Heart, “You’re So Vain” by Carly Simon and “Violets for Roses” by Lana Del Rey.

Access to Abortion Pills

On January 3, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved retail pharmacies to carry and sell Mifepristone, one of the common pills prescribed by physicians used to terminate pregnancies under 10 weeks.
According to Reuters, “Previously, Mifepristone had to be dispensed by an authorized clinic or through certain specialty mail-order pharmacies, a process that could take days or even weeks if a clinic is busy.”
A patient will still need a prescription to access the pill, as it is not available over the counter.
However, access to Mifepristone will be much easier to obtain.
