then, fall tv shows a new side of men and women. behind the headlines: more of our interview with former governor jennifer granholm. she and her husband discuss switching traditional roles. hello, i'm bonnie erbe. welcome to "to the contrary," a discussion of news and social trends from diverse perspectives. i'm pleased to be back after ur months, re on th later. first, theconomy and anti-abortion legislation. while the economy sat poised in a double dip recession and young people sat in protest on wall street and cities across the country, the republican controlled house of representatives this week passed a bill that allows hospitals to deny women an abortion even when their life is in danger. meanwhile, state legislatures across the country are considering almost 200 bills narrowing abortion rights. one in mississippi proposes granting "psonhood" to fertilized eggs. this contravenes the logic of republican presidential hopefuls, except for michele bachmann, who have stayed away from the abortion issue. we wondered whether congres

[applause] >> that is just the beginning of our conversation. >> good afternoon. it is an honor to hear you. i was hoping that you could tell us a little bit about the experience of getting the voicemail message a year ago. virginia thomas, clarence thomas' wife left a voicemail on your machine, i think asking for an olive branch but basically asking for your apology. what was it like to hear it? how does it sit with you a year later? >> i will be honest. i did not know that it was her. i thought it was a prank. my first description of it was that it was bizarre. either way if it was a prank or her. as you know, it became a news story

it's a street where men force young girls to sell their bodies for cash. >> a lot of men early in the are going to work. some will stop and buy a prostitute and then when they're done they just go to work. so a lot of them tell the guys at work, hey, guess what i did on the way to work kind of thing. so it spreads, you know, word of mouth. >> five nights a week as the light of day fades debbie hoffman of oakland pd's see care unit heads out to the track on a mission to seek and find the forgotten girls who sacrifice their health and welfare to pleasure johns for the brutal men who control them. >> hey, honey. can i talk to you for a second? >> it may take months or years but for a decade hoffman's been there trying to save one life at a time by simply letting them know she cares. >> okay, honey. take care. >> hoffman says parents who believe it will never happen to their daughters should listen closely to the story of 19-year-old britney. >> on every corner you go to you will see a pimp. pimps will drive down the street in vans, jump out, and snatch girls up and throw them in the car.

half the men over 50 in this country-- that's 30 million men suffering from an enlarged prostate? barbara, that's right. every man has a prostate, and as surely as their hair is going to turn gray, that prostate is going to enlarge. and by the age of 70, 80% of men will have problems. as men age, testosterone, the male hormone, is converted to dihydrotestosterone, a much more potent variety, and it stimulates the prostate cells to grow and multiply and the prostate to enlarge. what kind of problems does that cause? and virtually every man is going to face this? every man has a prostate. and if a man lives long enough, they're going to experience symptoms. let's back up just a minute. what is the prostate, and why the problem? the only function of the prostate is it provides fluid to transport the sperm. but, just like in real estate, location is everything. and the problem is the location of the prostate. here's the prostate, located just below the bladder which is where the urine accumulates and then flows through this tube called the urethra. the prostate surrounds the urethra.

most men don't read them." as for his wife, madoff said after his some's suicide last december, ruth told him, quote, let me go. he says they are is not seen or talked to each other since and he added, "ruth doesn't hate me. she has no one. it's not fair to her." she told him he had it easier in prison saying you are sheltered in there, no one is judging you. and he said that ruth is under an allowance until the final settlement. she shops in the gap and lives modestly. about his victims, madoff said, quote, "i understand why clients hate me. the gravy train is over. i can live with that. the average person thinks i robbed widows and orphans. i made wealthy people wealthier and he says he takes full responsibility for his crimes but added, nobody put a gun to my head. i never planned to do anything wrong. things just got out of hand. i don't believe i'm a bad guy or a stupid. >> not a bad guy, barbara. fascinating. i heard him speak in court when he was sentenced and what struck me was there was a toughness, a

. - one in 6 american men will get prostate cancer, a disease that kills more than 30,000 men a year. it's the second leading cancer killer after lung cancer. the good news is the emergence of the psa blood test in the late 1980's that has led to great progress in diagnosing and treating the disease. nonetheless, many american men and their doctors are now confused about the disease, confused about who should be tested and when, confused about appropriate treatments if diagnosed. conflicting studies have called into question whether the psa test actually saves lives. and the vast number of new cases every year has led to charges of overdiagnosis and overtreatment. we'll try to cut through some of the confusion by speaking with two leading prostate cancer specialists. but first, more on the complicated picture of diagnosing and treating the disease. - since we last talked, you've retired, right? - mark kleckner's father died of prostate cancer at the age of 60. when mark was diagnosed at 46, he ran into a wall of confusion. - i immediately came to realize there isn't one specific proto

our medical research dollars need to be sure that we are equally investing in when men as men. our tax systems have to ensure that we do not either deliberately or inadvertently discriminate against women. and women should be given the same opportunities to be productive and contributing members of society. but big and bold ideas, i think are called for in our world today, because a lot of what we are doing is not in achieving the outcomes that we are seeking. there is a stimulative and rebel affect that kicks in when women have greater access to jobs and the economic fortunes of their families, their communities, and their countries. many people say that there are all kinds of benefits that will flow from this, but i want to be somewhat modest in our goals. yes, i do think it will produce more food and more educational opportunity and more financial stability for more families around the world, and that will have a dividend across the full spectrum of society. but our declaration will be meaningless if we do not put our will and effort behind it. i think this summit just might

the report found 95% percent of men with p.s.a.-detected cancer who are followed for 12 years do not die from that cancer, even without treatment. >> the p.s.a. test may seem like a simple blood test. the issue is what happens afterwards. >> reporter: dr. michael barry is the president of the non- profit foundation for informed medical decision making and a primary care physician at massachusetts general hospital in boston. the risks include infections like dyroff's and treatments that can leave men incontinent or impotent. >> many men of course would say that in order to beat prostate cancer it's worth putting up with those side effects. unfortunately, we know that many of those men would have been treated for cancers not destined to cause future problems. but we can't tell which ones and sometimes any man whose been treated would think he was the one who's life has been saved by this task and the side effects would be worthwhile. >> reporter: more than 217,000 american men were diagnosed with the disease last year. 32,000 died fr

for men who do have signs, for men men there are indications they have prostate cancer they should be getting tested. this is the general, routine, don't think about it, go out and get a p.s.a.positive test. >> brown: one of the issues here i guess is prostate cancer develops very slowly, right? >> yeah, that is is-- that's a very important point is that prostate cancer, it's a very common cancer, but in a lot of men, they don't know they have it, and if they never were tested for it they might never find out they had it, or it would grow so slowly they would end up dying of something else. we can't identify which men need treatment and which don't, so if you go in and find you have prostate cancer, most people will get treated and could lead to all sort of complications. it could even cause death death, which outweigh the benefits of p.s.a. testing. >> brown: the p.s.a. testing has been debated for a long time and these new recommendations are extremely controversial. >> there has been a very strong reaction to this. this is the same panel that in 200caused a firestorm when they rais

this caused hardship for married men and their families. under the articles of the confederation, the half-baked constitution the converse pittard together while fighting the war all the states had to agree to major measures like taxation. at one point in 1782, 12 states had agreed to a tax on imports but tiny rhode island, a first of parting with a boehler it made from its booming trade with the west indies and year both voted no, and that was it. no taxes. a dismayed general washington can only reiterate what he had been saying for some time. i see one head turning into 13. he had done everything in his power from writing your nist letters backing of the budget to approving a dispatch team to rhode island to talk to a house adjourns in to the agreement got nowhere. he was practically run out of rhode island. in congress on the new rival the generals x eight alexander hamilton wrote to governor george clinton of new york warning and the country was about to collapse. hamilton recommended offering the soldiers and officers of the continenta

more than 35,000 men participated.e received just vitamin "e," some received selenium, and some received both. in 2008, the first results were in. none of it prevented cancer and everyone was told to stop taking the vitamins. then a disturbing trend emerged in one group. >> men who took vitamin "e" alone were at a 17% increased risk of developing prostate cancer. >> reporter: that comes to 16 more cases of prostate cancer a year for every 10,000 men taking vitamin "e" alone. 68-year-old ralph sanderson took vitamin "e" in the study. so far, his prostate is fine and he's philosophical about the experience. >> i was just disappointed that the results were what they were but, no, i don't regret my participation at all. >> reporter: the typical vitamin "e" dosage in multivitamins is about a tenth or less of the 400 units used in the study. still, millions of men taking any vitamin "e" are now faced with a decision. >> there really is not any evidence that taking vitamin "e" or selenium are beneficial for general health. th

that you are not in competition with the men.ou don't have to deal with some of the stereotypes that go on that the men should be the leaders and the men should be elected and it helps you feel strong and powerful as a woman. >> and it depends on age group at what point you know, some studies show that for everything that i read on this, the research is all over the place but it seems that girls do succeed more in single sex classrooms or schools more so than boys. and the reason for just what we said because it builds a certain amount of camaraderie and theyhe feel comfortable in areas of math and science there's no competition with the boys. but i think it depends on the age group that you do this. i mean it might be valuable classrooms maybe necessarily over entire schools but certain classrooms during elementary school to get the foundation so kids start learning what they need to learn. and as they develop the social skills then the integration aspect and the cultural aspects can come into valuable but it should be an option
