Hi, this is Pierre Lehu, Dr. Ruth Westheimer's “Minister of Communications” since 1981. I believe the information Dr. Ruth communicated here was too important to fade away so I intend to continue to pass on information on X that I believe her followers would want to know about.

Ever noticed a typo right after you hit Send? Annoying, isn't it. But nothing compared to the awful feeling that comes after having a man send a shot of sperm into a woman's vagina when he promised to withhold it. Condoms can't prevent typos but they can keep you safe during sex

I've been pushing the use of contraceptives for a long, long time and one of the main reasons is to prevent unintended pregnancies that lead to abortions. But abortions must remain legal and I' so glad voters all across the country stood up for a woman's right to choose.
