Italy OKs Abortion Pill, Vatican to Excommunicate Doctors
Over the objections of the Vatican, Italy recently approved the use of RU486, commonly known as the abortion pill.

If you have sex, you have to deal with birth control. It may not be the funnest part about being sexual, but it's definitely necessary if you want to prevent pregnancy and the transmission of STIs. You've got to have talks with your partner about it, you have to go to the gynecologist or pharmacy to get birth control, and then of course you have to master how to use it.
