President Barack Obama is seeking to refocus economic relations between
the U.S. and Mexico, even as fresh questions about security cooperation
threaten to cast a shadow over the president's visit to the southern
neighbor.Obama also will use his three-day trip, which begins Thursday and
includes a stop in Costa Rica, to highlight the immigration overhaul moving
through Capitol Hill, both for an audience in Latin America and for
those back home in the U.S.The president is scheduled to arrive Thursday
afternoon in Mexico City for meetings with President Enrique Pena Nieto
and members of Mexico's business community.Since taking office in December,
Pena Nieto has moved to end the widespread access it gave U.S.
security agencies helping fight drug trafficking and organized crime. The
changes mark a dramatic shift from the policies of Pena Nieto's predecessor,
Felipe Calderon, who was lauded by the U.S. for boosting cooperation between
the two countries as he led an aggressive attack on Mexico's drug
cartels.The White House has tried to downplay a potential rift, with officials
emphasizing Mexico has kept the U.S. informed about the changes. Obama on
Tuesday said he would wait to hear directly from his Mexican counterpart
before assessing the changes.Despite the intense focus on security issues,
Obama advisers say the president will try to show that the ties
between the two countries are broader than the drug wars that defined
the relationshi
a year later, neither side in the contraception
debate was happy with the FDA's surprise twist, which many perceived as
an attempt to find a palatable middle ground between imposing an age
limit of 17 and imposing no limit at all.Any over-the-counter access marks
a long-awaited change, but it's not enough, said Dr. Cora Breuner of
the American Academy of Pediatrics, which supports nonprescription sale
of the morning-after pill for all ages."We still have the major issue,
which is our teen pregnancy rate is still too high," Breuner said.Even
though few young girls likely would use Plan B, which costs about
$50 for a single pill, "we know that it is safe for
those under 15," she said.Most 17- to 19-year-olds are sexually active,
and 30 percent of 15- and 16-year-olds have had sex, according to
a study published last month by the journal Pediatrics. Sex is much
rarer among younger teens. Likewise, older teens have a higher pregnancy
rate, but that study also counted more than 110,000 pregnancies among 15-
and 16-year-olds in 2008 alone.Contraception advocates see a double standard.
No one is carded when buying a condom, but under the FDA's
decision they would have to prove their age when buying a pill
to prevent pregnancy if that condom breaks."This isn't a compromise. This
is wrong," said Cynthia Pearson of the National Women's Health Network.Social
conservatives were outraged by the FDA's move to lower the age limits
for Plan B -- as w
