Last Longer | Vegan Sex Drive Shown in Steamy Scene

Vegans last longer. See the side by side proof here.

Sleeping with someone who eats meat? There may be more than one disappointment in store. Eating the saturated fat and cholesterol in meat can increase the risk of developing heart disease, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, and these can be dangerous to your love life. Why? Because they're all common causes of erectile dysfunction. Plant-based foods keep blood flowing to all the body's organs. The key to a hot love life and to lasting longer in the bedroom is to start with delicious vegan meals in the kitchen. 
43 Years After Roe v. Wade, Supreme Court to Hear Case Threatening Women's Right to Choose
Democracy Now!
http://democracynow.org - Friday marked the 43rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide. And just weeks from now, the Supreme Court is set to hear arguments in a case that could gut it. The case is called Whole Woman’s Health v. Cole. It challenges anti-choice restrictions passed by the Texas state Legislature in 2013, despite a people’s filibuster and a 13-hour stand by Texas State Senator Wendy Davis. Since the law passed, about half of the more than 40 abortion clinics in Texas have closed. If the court allows it to go into full effect, Texas could be left with about 10 abortion clinics. And it’s not just Texas that’s at stake. Since 2010, state legislatures across the country have enacted more than 280 restrictions on abortion. We are joined by two guests: Dawn Porter, director of the new documentary "Trapped," which looks at how abortion providers in Alabama and Texas are fighting to care for their patients
#OscarsSoWhite: Black Filmmakers Call Out Hollywood Racism, Exclusion as Calls for Boycott Grow
Democracy Now!
http://democracynow.org - A growing number of actors and filmmakers are pushing for a boycott of the Oscars after no actors of color were nominated for a second year in a row. The largely white male Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences responded by pledging to overhaul its voting requirements and to double membership of women and people of color by 2020. We discuss the boycott calls with two African-American filmmakers: Stanley Nelson, whose latest film is "The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution," and Dawn Porter, director of "Trapped," which just had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. "This reminds me of when baseball was segregated—the Negro Leagues," Porter says. "Does anyone really think that all of the talent that was in the sport was being recognized?"
"Trapped": New Film Follows the Providers Who Are Fighting to Keep Abortion Accessible in the South
Democracy Now!
http://democracynow.org - As the Supreme Court prepares to hear a landmark abortion case that could gut Roe v. Wade, we look at a startling new documentary, "Trapped." The film addresses TRAP laws—Targeted Regulation of Abortion Providers—and their impact on abortion providers in the South. We are joined by the film’s director, Dawn Porter, as well as two of its subjects: Dr. Willie Parker of Jackson Women’s Health, the last abortion clinic in Mississippi, and June Ayers, owner and director of Reproductive Health Services in Montgomery, Alabama, one of the few remaining abortion clinics in the state.
Wicked Jezebel Feminist! Users Witness Anti-Choice Abuse in Virtual Reality Film "Across the Line"
Democracy Now!
http://democracynow.org - Last week saw a series of anti-choice protests surrounding the 43rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade. In Washington, D.C., protesters bearing photos of fetuses descended on the construction site for a new Planned Parenthood clinic. The protests forced the charter school next door to close for two days. A new project at the Sundance Film Festival puts you in the shoes of a woman passing through the gauntlet of anti-choice protesters to reach an abortion clinic. "Across the Line" is a seven-minute immersive virtual reality experience that uses real audio of anti-choice protesters. We speak with the project’s co-creator, Nonny de la Peña, known as the "godmother of virtual reality," and with executive producer, Dawn Laguens, executive vice president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.
Should Charter Schools Be Allowed to Push Out Difficult Kids?
ReasonTV
Do charter schools—publicly funded schools that are freed from many state-and-local regulations—routinely push out difficult kids? Does this undermine their overall mission and purpose? Or is it a legitimate way to ensure a better education for more students?

In October, The New York Times broke the story that a principal at Success Academy, which is New York City's largest and most successful charter network, targeted a group of students to be pushed out of his school, maintaining a so-called Got-to-Go list. Success Academy's founder and CEO, Eva Moskowitz, responded that the episode was a one-time mistake. As soon as the Got-to-Go list came to her attention, Moskowitz says, she put a stop to the practice and disciplined the principal.

Last week, a group of parents filed a civil rights complaint with the U.S. Department of Education, accusing the school of edging out students with disabilities and denying them accommodations.
