“In honor of Dr. George Tiller, who often wore a button that simply read, “Trust Women,” this year’s Blog for Choice Day question is: What does Trust Women mean to you?”
because googling “roe v wade anniversary 2010″, “pro choice” and even “pro roe v wade” will get you nothing but “March for Life” sites and pro-life articles, i have decided to post a few links to some good articles here.
- Dr. Tiller talks about why he is an abortion provider
- some brilliant undergrads from MIT talk about why they are pro-choice
- The Feminist Women’s Health Center comes up with an answer to “What does pro-choice mean to you?”
- Sarah Palin is a notorious one of the pro-lifers who have co-opted feminist ideas and twisted them around to support the pro-life argument. this is infuriating because it’s not only intellectually dishonest, but it hurts women. before i fly off the handle and go on an epic rant, i’ll just give you the link to an article that picks Palin’s argument apart.
- pushing back against abstinence-only education–the Pro-Choice Public Education Project. PEP does a great job not only of educating young women about their sexual health and reproductive options (rights!), but also addresses the racial and socioeconomic aspects of the fight that are absolutely inextricable from the debate.
- here’s some FACTUAL information on abortion from Princeton Pro-Choice Vox–they also have a great page on contraceptive information.
- my personal post about reproductive rights. unfortunately, i think it’s my best work yet.
- NARAL Pro-Choice America. woot!
- National Abortion Federation. love ‘em.
- and, of course, Planned Parenthood! (FYI, a google bomb is in order, because in teh Googul, this link doesn’t turn up until page FOUR!)
- and for all the Christians out there–you CAN be pro-choice! it DOES fit with your theology! i totally mean it!
- if only all abortions could be this easy! and the women who got them were more concerned about Oasis getting their fan letter!
- here’s a somewhat less Roe-related post, but it has to do with giving birth and choosing it. so i’ll include it.
and be on the lookout for pro-life sites and orgs masquerading as pro-choice. if they were so confident in their morals and their argument, why would they have to be so coercive! and furthermore, from what i remember from my Catholic education, to “God” all sins are equal, none is worse than another, so isn’t bearing false witness the same as an abortion? just sayin’.
Happy Roe v. Wade Anniversary!

I am at least 15 out of 38 of these delectable Devil-Loving types of people. What's with the IST'S as opposed to ISTS? Not the point of this post, but I'm just saying.... Sport's Nut's?
Several weeks ago on Fuckbook, I posted the following quote as my Fuckbook status:
“I call myself a feminist. Isn’t that what you call someone who fights for women’s rights?” ~Dalai Lama
I got some little “Like This” thumbs-up signs and the following comments:
Yeah, more people would be willing to acknowledge/label themselves as feminists if more would be aware of its actual meaning and purpose… Sadly it’s a horribly misinterpreted and distorted term.

Remember glow worms, 80's kids? Kinda like that!
No joke, this is Ruppy the Puppy. And she is the world’s first transgenic dog. She was created by cloning fibroblast cells that express a red fluorescent gene produced by sea anemones.
New Scientist has the full article, and more pictures (of her non-glowing…she’s fucking adorable. I want her for a nightlight and friendly companion).
While the practice of cloning these pups is sort of useless, it still tells me that science is cool. And that I want a glow-in-the-dark puppy. Who will buy this for me?

As you can imagine, she’s still not done.
We hired this girl at my job. Initially, we all thought she was about 30. Turns out, she’s 21. Smoker…Poster Child for Anti-Smoking Campaigns. She had a decent resume, and got the Filing job. The job is a bit monotonous, but it’s not rocket science. Do you know your alphabet? Good. She’s been working at my firm for one month. What’s my beef? Keep reading…. (more…)

So, Wednesday night I went to dinner with a friend of mine. This girl used to be roommates with me and .m. in college. She is pretty much the antithesis of Pinky Links philosophy (anti-feminist, not interested in politics or current events, nestles comfortably in the patriarchy surrounding her, etc). We call her “Charlotte” from Sex and the City. She lives in a parallel 1950′s universe at all times. (Now that you have some background, I will move on.) (more…)

Look at all the contraception! Please. Just pick one. Even better, pick two! Or more!
I totally just yoinked this website from Missbehave’s Blog!
Anyways, the website is called Why the F*** Do You Have a Kid?
I cannot tell you how much I adore this website. .m., myself, and jb have had many an inappropriate conversation regarding the decision to have and keep a baby. Sometimes I see people in their thirties…and wonder if it’s too late to abort. For real. Teenagers are unfortunate to begin with. Teenagers with offspring, well, this website absolutely sums it up.
