Birth control now available in New York without prescription – Gothamist

New York pharmacists can now dispense birth control without a prescription to anyone in New York, according to an order signed by the state’s health commissioner on Tuesday.

The order was part of a broad push last year by Gov. Kathy Hochul and leaders in the state Legislature to expand reproductive health care in the face of winnowing access elsewhere in the country.

The U.S. crime rate is still dropping, FBI data shows

The new fourth-quarter numbers showed a 13% decline in murder in 2023 from 2022, a 6% decline in reported violent crime and a 4% decline in reported property crime. That’s based on data from around 13,000 law enforcement agencies, policing about 82% of the U.S. population, that provided the FBI with data through December.

“It suggests that when we get the final data in October, we will have seen likely the largest one-year decline in murder that has ever been recorded,” said Jeff Asher, a former CIA analyst who now studies crime trends.

Arte – Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

” A arte é um caminho, dentre tantos que, cria sentido a vida. Há quem diga que ela imita. Eu, porém, creio que sem a presença da arte, não suportaríamos a realidade como ela é. Então, a arte, certamente faz com a gente seja capaz de reinventar as coisas. Veja, os Sofistas eram excelentes professores; eles falam em público com uma precisão tremenda – só isso, os tornavam convincentes. Então, eu diria que o ser humano por meio da arte, ele cria, ensina, defende e acima de tudo, impressiona. A arte é uma linguagem que se movimenta em formas, sons e gestos.
