Calling On President Obama to Demonstrate His Respect for Women

November 30, 2011 by Guest Blogger Leave a Comment

by Amy Allina, Raising Women’s Voices for the Health Care We Need President Obama likes to talk about the fact that he lives in a household of strong women.  When he does it, he seems genuinely pleased and proud to be able to talk about his daughters, his wife and his mother-in-law in those terms.  […]

The Other 99%

November 30, 2011 by Guest Blogger Leave a Comment

by Cecile Richards, Planned Parenthood Action Fund, blogging on Huffington Post There’s not a lot we agree on in this country. And yet, there is one topic around which there is practically universal agreement: the right of women to access birth control. That’s right–99 percent of women in the U.S. who have been sexually active […]

The Catholic Church Wasn’t on My Ballot: What’s Next for President Obama and Birth Control

November 30, 2011 by Guest Blogger Leave a Comment

by Abigail Collazo, Fem 2.0 The Catholic Church and I have had a bit of a contentious relationship, to say the least. From its longtime suppression of women’s rights to its absurd defense of the Pope’s infallibility, well, it’s hardly the institution I look to for the be all and end all in moral direction. […]

What is So Wrong with Abstinence Education?

November 30, 2011 by Guest Blogger 1 Comment

by Kat Sabine, the Bitch in the house Over the last few years, my policy of truth in sexuality with my kids has received a lot of criticism from just about every corner.  Most surprisingly is the negativity from sex education activists who purport to support medically-accurate sex education.  We are in agreement that avoiding the conversation about […]

November 21, 2011 by Ella Weiner Leave a Comment

School is meant to be a safe place for students to learn and grow. Unfortunately sexual harassment between peers has become part of the everyday life of middle and high school students, as revealed by a study released by the American Association of University Women (AAUW). Nearly half, 48 percent, of surveyed students experienced some […]

Comprehensive Sex Ed: Why It Works

November 21, 2011 by Rosa Carnevali-Doan Leave a Comment

As a high school senior, when it comes to political debate between advocates of comprehensive sex education versus abstinence only education, the political is personal.  Having lawmakers decide whether or not students receive information on sex is a frightening reality to me. Abstinence-only education would pose American kids with the conundrum of choosing between being […]

Does China Have the Solution for the Population Crisis? Not Even Close

November 21, 2011 by Guest Blogger Leave a Comment

by Meghan Yee On October 31, the world population reached 7 billion. According to one Chinese demographer, however, if not for China’s one-child policy, the world population would have hit that number five years ago. China has the largest population on earth with 1.4 billion people. However, since 1979, the National Population and Family Planning […]

Diary of a Clinic Escort

November 21, 2011 by Guest Blogger Leave a Comment

“God is not mocked! You will swim forever in a lake of fire! You are a murderer!” This voice overpowered the passing Ft. Worth traffic as I escorted a patient into a women’s clinic on October 22 this year. I stood directly in between the patient and the man, doing everything I could to conceal […]
