- "Kay Johnson was excellent. I'll look forward to what MCH does next. I would like to see some focus of the area of natural ness for working with reproduction. (Fertility Awareness Based Methods as an example) and on nutrition, the latest info, re conception and general women's health. It is time to bring forth a new health paradigm and stop relying of the BCP as the answer to everything reproductive. How can we support the fabulous beauty and precious entity of reproduction??"
