Fake Clinics Lie in the Name of God
I walked into a fake clinic in Arbutus, Maryland on a late Friday afternoon with a vile of urine (that was not mine) in my purse that would indicate I was pregnant. There were children, children’s toys, and a rack of baby clothing of various sizes in the waiting room. This fake clinic is a […]

The Future is Feminist. The Future is the ERA.
If you haven’t heard yet, Virginia made history last month by becoming the 38th state to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment—marking a watershed moment of progress in the 97-year fight to add protections on the basis of sex to the U.S. Constitution.
