...addition to the physical risks, critics cite the more insidious psychological ramifications, whether women get the surgery or not. "Before" and "after" photos that juxtapose normal, healthy bodies alongside surgically streamlined ones - readily available online - promote the impression that so-called aberrations are abnormal, when in reality genitals are as diverse as faces or fingerprints. The focus on a quick fix, which is epitomized by the search for a female Viagra, is an oversimplification that puts even more pressure on women's sex lives, says New View's Tiefer...
Consider the debate over abortion. The majority of those who are pro-life come from a religious background, and often simply cite God and the sacred nature of all creatures in their arguments against abortion. For the secular contingent, these arguments are meaningless, and thus unpersuasive.

...professors have virtually no impact on the political views and ideology of their students.” The conclusive results of all three studies will hopefully lay to rest the baseless whines thrown up by conservatives whenever the youth vote is not going their way. Conservatives cite the liberal majority amongst ’60s-generation university professors today as evidence for their case, failing to differentiate correlation from causation. According to research, not only do most people form their political views by age 15, but also students are more affected by the media and their peers than by their...
