SPECIAL VALENTINE'S ISSUE
ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT
OPINION
If your valentine canceled because of the weather, come hang out with the American Observer. We return for the spring with a special Valentine's Day issue that looks at the serious side of love, including inter-office dating, HPV vaccinations and the morning-after pill.
Co-worker romances might be considered taboo, but they are remarkably common. Some medical experts question the effectiveness of vaccinating against HPV, a common sexually transmitted disease that can cause cancer. And pharmacists in some states are refusing to sell the emergency contraceptive Plan B, known as the morning-after pill, on religious grounds.
