Live-Tweet Rundown: Today’s Sham Hearing about Birth Control Coverage

Published: February 16, 2012

We’ve all seen the picture. We know what’s wrong. It’s obvious. So obvious, in fact that it’s unbelievable that the Majority members of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform didn’t see a problem with having a panel of five men to talk about birth control coverage! Even after the President announced implementation that […]

A Message about Birth Control from the 71%

Published: November 17, 2011

Growing up a New Yorker, I was fortunate enough to live in a state that mandated insurance plans cover birth control. Growing up the daughter of a nurse who was employed by a Catholic hospital, I was not fortunate enough to ever actually reap the benefits of this policy. My mother is not a Catholic […]

In Maine, Secretary of State Charlie Summers’ job it is to protect the voting rights of Maine residents, and yet he supports the legislation obviously suppressing that right.

Part of the #HERvotes blog carnival.

School for Young Mothers is Disposable for Detroit

Published: June 10, 2011

Yesterday morning I wrote a story for our daily Feminist News site about the closing of Catherine Ferguson Academy. It turned out to be difficult for me to keep my language neutral in any way or maintain journalistic integrity; hence I must now blog about it because I’m pissed off. I originally heard about this […]
