: About Me

My real name is Joyce Andrews. I and Samuel Clemons decided to use a pen name for the same reason; if the writing was no good we didn't want anyone to know who really wrote it.

I joined Helium about one year before I got up enough courage to even begin to write. No lack of confidence here. I did enjoy writing when I was in school, and while my teachers kept telling me I had talent I never really believed them. I always considered writing, just never believed anything I could write would be good enough to actually be read. I started writing after I moved in with my oldest daughter and her family, as a way of filling up my spare time.

Helium is trying it's best to prove me wrong. While I am not in any way getting rich, I am satisfied with the results of my writing. I am looking forward to a long and enlightening relationship with Helium. If any of my work should be picked up by a publisher, I, like Mark Twain, will be pleasantly surprised and anxious to advance to the next level.

According to the Mayo Clinic the morning after pill and the abortion pill are two different pills. The morning after pill is designed to keep a woman from getting pregnant and will not work if she is already pregnant. Therefore there should be no dilemma for the pharmacist to face. He is not helping the woman end a pregnancy by giving her the morning after pill. There is no question as to whether the fetus is mature enough to be considered a living person because there is no fetus. A pharmacist does not have all the facts concerning why a patient is asking for the morning after pill. He do...
