Well, the Search Request Roundup doesn't! The Household Products Database is a good starting point for health information about a particular product. You can browse by categories of products, product names, or search for what you're interested in. There are several records for different Roundup products (browse the R's), and they all seem to indicate that Glyphosate (a main ingredient) is not thought to be a carcinogen. Information on known hazards of the product (such as eye irritation) is provided.
The National Cervical Cancer Coalition has a section of their website for cervical cancer survivors, and it includes stories about the disease contributed by survivors. The most recent stories are on this page, but you may want to click on the years (listed in the lower right) for additional and older contributions.
The American Cancer Society also hosts a website called The Cancer Survivors Network, which includes stories and artwork as well as personal web pages from survivors. Users can search by cancer type to view only cervical cancer survivors' stories and materials. A free registration is required to view other's pages.
The National Abortion Rights Action League (a pro-choice organization) has a state bill tracker on its website. Simply choose your state, and you will be able to view a list of pro-choice and anti-abortion bills, with the bill number, brief summary, sponsor name, date it was introduced, last action, and last action date.
The American College of Nurse-Midwifery provides a pretty good list of graduate programs in nurse-midwifery (including the program at Vanderbilt), and has a brief list of freestanding institutions. This website provides a list of education programs for direct-entry midwifery, including a Tennessee program at The Farm. For midwifery programs in other countries, you can find a lot by doing a Google search for "midwifery training" or "midwifery schools".
Nope, can't help you on that one.
