...course, most women take estrogen (Premarin is the most popular brand) for just a few years through menopause. Nothing in the latest studies suggests that they should stop.

Unfortunately, over the years, hormone-replacement therapy increases the risk of breast cancer.

In 1985, a South Carolina hospital decided it would take any necessary measures to ensure the health of an unborn child - including running a drug test on the mother, and reporting those results to the police. Women whose tests were positive could choose to be arrested for providing drugs to a minor or undergo drug addiction treatment. Now, the Court will decide the merit of a case brought...
