For the last couple of weeks, I have tried in vain to enter your $10k Holiday Shopping Sweeps.
I really don't know to contact reguarding this matter. Maybe you can help me or advise me.
Each time I click on the submit entry to type in the word, nothing pops up. You or your staff needs to try it for yourselves to see what I mean. Thank you, Marie

Imagine this scenario: You go to an ob/gyn because you have a suspicious finding on a mammogram. Added to that hell, you come home one day to find a copy of American Baby magazine in your mailbox - with an enclosed invoice, of course. I've filed a complaint with the FTC.

This magazine is sent solely based on a visit to a physician's office? This happened once before, and I did track down the culprit, but cannot recall how the magazine is notified. Doesn't matter - it is wrong, and damaging.

I am certain that many women are sent the magazine who will never want to, nor be able to reproduce.

Moreover, it confirms my growing sense that there are no specialist doctors for women. There are baby doctors and surgeons.
