When a woman can no longer control her own reproductive system because of someone else’s religious beliefs, it is no longer freedom of religion.  It is the infringement of religion onto human freedom.

We victim blame for a reason.
the-womanifesto: We like to blame rape victims for what happened to them for a simple reason. We’re afraid. We’ve been raised to think that if you are good, good things will happen to you. Do your chores, get an allowance. Get all As, get a pizza party. And then if you do something bad, bad things will happen. Fail a class, you’re grounded. You get the idea. We’re so brainwashed by this idea...

"Freedom of religion."
I have heard this “freedom of religion” line brought in to defend multiple different legislative pushes to curtail access to contraception. They always say the same thing, “It’s not about birth control. It’s about religious freedom.”  So, I’ve decided to engage this as if people really are worried about religious freedom. Their argument goes: My having...

Dear feminist tumblr Texan friends
I’ve been feeling recently like there is a dearth of feminist organizing in Texas. It is possible that this is because I just moved home and I’m looking in all the wrong places. Don’t get me wrong, I’m  volunteering with PPGC and on Annie’s List listserv and going to Young Leaders of PPGC things, but I feel like what I’m missing is a network of feminist social...

David Frum: Why the Birth Control Issue Stings →
theworldisconfused: Right now, hundreds of thousands of young Americans are using birth control to delay pregnancies they want, but feel they cannot currently afford. If this poll is correct, almost one-third of young Americans have delayed starting a family because of the bad economy. Think about how last night’s debate sounded from the point of view of such people. They are starting their...
