FRC: Ryan Bill Increases Abortion While Claiming to 'Reduce Need' for Abortion
...on-on-demand. "Whatever Rep. Ryan's intent, his proposal is fraught with funding for abortion providers and provisions that further encourage promiscuous sex and discourage parental involvement," Perkins concluded. ...Stigma clings stubbornly to women living with HIV/AIDS
... pregnant from even just one act of unprotected sex, they feel that they would have to do something extraordinary to contract HIV, like be excessively promiscuous or be involved with people the likes of whom they don't think they would encounter in their everyday world. Brown said, I take seven pills daily t...Stopping a receptor called 'nogo' boosts the synapses
..., Ph.D., associate professor in the Department of Biomedical Genetics, who led the study. The nogo receptor seems to play a role. The receptor is a promiscuous molecule that hooks up with several other molecules which prevent the growth of neurons in the spinal cord. For most of this decade, scientists have w...Scientists solve structure of gene regulator that plays key role in cancer
...0/CBP contains a binding pocket that is suitable for associating with a wide range of substrates the molecules it binds with and makes p300/CBP more promiscuous than other HATs, Marmorstein says. In addition, p300/CBP uses a novel hit-and-run chemical mechanism to convert its substrates to the resulting pro...Drug slows prostate tumor growth by keeping vitamin A active

...aight men or women. "Just because gay men continue to have much higher levels of HIV, we can't jump to the conclusion that that means that they are promiscuous or that prevention messages aren't working," said lead researcher Steven Goodreau, an assistant professor of anthropology.

...e more sperm, and even rape their partners, says Shackelford. According to Shackelford and co-author Aaron T. Goetz, this does not mean that women are promiscuous by nature, but it is evidence that humans are not naturally a monogamous species.

...needed during weekends or public holidays. Critics have not taken this suggestion very well. On the contrary they feel such a move would promote promiscuous behavior. Norman Wells, the director of the Family Education Trust, said: "This is a very irresponsible move. The original medical assessment report ...The more promiscuous the female, the speedier the sperm
Female promiscuity appears to have triggered changes in the type of sperm a male produces, according to new research on fish from central Africa. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the USA, examines how competition for reproduction influences the sp...In promiscuous antelopes, the 'battle of the sexes' gets flipped
In some promiscuous species, sexual conflict runs in reverse, reveals a new study published online on November 29th in Current Biology, a publication of Cell Press. Among African topi antelopes, females are the ones who aggressively pursue their mates, while males play hard to get. The classica...Conaway Lab identifies novel mechanism for regulation of gene expression
...addition, it provides new insights into how deubiquitinating enzymes can be regulated the ability to regulate these enzymes is very important because promiscuous removal of ubiquitin marks could lead to a failure to regulate properly the activities or levels of key enzymes and proteins in cells." ...Australian frog species chooses not to put eggs in 1 basket

This level o...ces our understanding of female promiscuity by being the first to show that promiscuous females can safeguard against choosing fathers that provide poor homes for ...A common aquatic animal's genome can capture foreign DNA
... CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Long viewed as straitlaced spinsters, sexless freshwater invertebrate animals known as bdelloid rotifers may actually be far more promiscuous than anyone had imagined: Scientists at Harvard University have found that the genomes of these common creatures are chock-full of DNA from plants, fu...Variety is the spice of life: too many males, too little time...
... Female Australian painted dragon lizards are polyandrous, that is, they mate with as many males as they can safely get access to. This promiscuous behaviour is often found in species where male quality is dubious and there are high levels of infertility in the male population.

...ms in the oviducts that control sperm transport, binding and activation for fertilization.
