  • Matt McGorry on Fasting, His Current Workout Obsession, and His First Shirtless Scene in ‘Orange Is the New Black’

    You probably recognize Matt McGorry as Officer John Bennett on Netflix’s Orange Is the New Black or Asher Millstone on ABC’s How to Get Away With Murder. But what you may not realize is that the talented McGorry was a professional bodybuilder before snagging those roles. McGorry tells Yahoo Health that his diet and fitness regimen aren’t exactly the same now as they were during his bodybuilding days, but we love the levelheaded mindset he has toward healthy living: He’s a fan of intermittent fasting, but he’s not maniacal about it.

  • Why Women Do (and Don’t) Choose Fetal Tissue Donation After Abortion

    Fetal tissue donation has been making headlines after an anti-abortion group began releasing undercover videos targeting Planned Parenthood — the third of which was released yesterday. The videos have ignited fierce debate on a practice unknown to most as little as a month ago: the fact that many women receiving abortions are given the choice to donate their fetal tissue to medical research — research that has been conducted over decades and has given us many lifesaving vaccines and disease treatments. We’ve heard from many experts on both sides of this debate, but we’ve yet to hear from women who have actually made this decision for themselves. Yahoo Health spoke with three women who shared their very personal decisions to donate their fetal tissue to research. For additional candid responses about why some chose to donate, or not donate, fetal tissue after having their abortions, we teamed up with Whisper, the free app that allows users to share their secrets anonymously.
