"Factors include fear of losing a man, abusive relationships, lack of knowledge about a partner's sexual health and assumption of a partner's fertility," she said. Women must gain control of their fertility," Dr. Vanessa Collins said. "The challenge is to make sure that children are nurtured and can compete and contribute to the world.

Regarding the Dec. 22 commentary, "Health care? Look to Massachusetts," by Ezra Klein: This potentially important article was filled with false assumptions and misleading "facts." Klein states that "the plan is doing pretty well," and that the reforms have "even prospered," while ignoring that Massachusetts residents are increasingly gaming the system, purchasing insurance when they know they are going to use health care services, then dropping it when they no longer need it.

This is a simple test to screen for uterine or ovarian cancer. The pap smear does not do this. When I was diagnosed with stage 3C uterine cancer, my pap smear was normal. Althea Horner, Sierra Madre
