You’re Beautiful
January 20, 2014
A few weeks ago we came across this beautiful video by Karen Walrond and shared it over on our Facebook Page. We liked it so much, we decided to post it here on the blog so it would be easier to find and where you can come back and watch it over and over. Because often it takes hearing a message over and over for the truth it contains to sink in.
We think you are beautiful!
hey you
(yes, you)
here’s something the media doesn’t want you to know:
you’re beautiful
it’s true.
and here are the top 10 ways to make sure everyone knows it:
- remember there are differences, but there are no flaws.
- there’s only one fashion rule: it if makes you feel awesome, wear it.
- be willing to be vulnerable, so you can also fully experience joy.
- control your own perspective. perspective is everything.
- another word for sexy? confident.
- breathe. deeply and every day.
- express yourself. often, kindly, and without apology.
- the adventure is in the attempt. embrace possibility.
- to remain youthful, never stop looking for the wonderful.
- and finally: create your own story. never let others create it for you.
because no matter what anyone says, there is an underlying truth:
you are different, and you’re beautiful
so
go
be
amazing
If your girlfriend is facing an unexpected pregnancy and considering the abortion pill, you're probably wondering about costs and whether insurance will cover it. Before considering the abortion pill, it’s vital that your girlfriend receives an ultrasound. We offer these at no cost with no insurance necessary. She can schedule a free, confidential appointment online at Collage. Can Your Insurance Cover Her? Health insurance covers the policyholder and enrolled dependents. A girlfriend typically isn't a covered dependent on your plan, which means your insurance generally won't pay for her medical care. The exception is if she's been added to your plan as a domestic partner and your employer allows that. Additionally, you may be able to extend insurance coverage to her after marriage if your policy allows this as a qualifying event. However, the chances of insurance covering an elective abortion are unlikely. What About Her Own Insurance in Nebraska? Under Nebraska law , standard health insurance plans in the state cannot cover elective abortion unless the insured purchases a separate abortion rider. Medicaid in Nebraska covers abortion only in limited circumstances. In most cases, the abortion pill in Nebraska will be an out-of-pocket cost. What She Should Know About the Drug The abortion pill uses two drugs. The first, mifepristone , blocks progesterone, a hormone required to sustain the pregnancy. The second, misoprostol , taken a day or two later, causes the uterus to contract and expel the pregnancy tissue. The FDA approves this drug regimen through 10 weeks of gestation. Nebraska law also requires that the abortion pill be prescribed and administered in person by a physician. Complications can include heavy bleeding, infection , incomplete abortion, and digestive system discomfort. If the drug does not fully end the pregnancy, a follow-up procedure might be required. Getting the Facts First A free ultrasound at Collage confirms your girlfriend’s gestational age, whether the pregnancy is in the uterus, and whether the pregnancy is progressing. An ectopic pregnancy (when the pregnancy implants outside the uterus) requires different medical treatment than abortion, and could be life-threatening if left untreated. An ultrasound can rule out this complication. Schedule a free, confidential appointment at Collage today.
