So reads the headline in the Globe today and it turns out it’s a column by Margaret Wente.
Certainly, ignorance can be bliss, but in that case, should you really be writing columns? And parts of the argumentation are hogwash, too.

Andrea, if your article is published, please give us a link to it. I read Wente’s article and find it hard to believe that she doesn’t know about the links between oral contraception and breast cancer. She needs to listen to Dr. Angela Lanfranchi.
Oh sorry, I just noticed that you did put a link to it. thanks and good for you. Continue to speak up for women, Andrea.
