Plan B: A Welcome "Miscarriage" of Justice
According to the New York Times, a federal judge ruled yesterday that Plan B (levonorgestrel), will be made available over the counter to women who are seventeen or older. The judge, Edward R. Korman, a Reagan-appointee, stated that there had been “political considerations, delays and implausible justifications” on the part of the F.D.A. The NYT [...]

Midwifery: Keeping Ya' Mama From Getting Cut For 5 Million Years
Don’t get me wrong. I love electronic culture. It gives me access to everyone else who has access to it, which is a lot of people. But it’s not everyone. And because of the necessarily exclusive nature of it, what gets lost is the full community experience. This is, for many, a digital age, and [...]

You Have the Right to Fewer Choices.
Right. So I said I’d take a break, and I haven’t slept in a while, but this bears repeating: They’re passing a TRAP law in Wisconsin (curtsy to Pandagon ).

Empathy Belly: Great with Child?

Catherine Price writes “Here’s something that sounds like a joke, but isn’t: the Empathy Belly. “It’s a pregnancy simulator designed to “enable men, women, teenage boys and girls to experience over 20 symptoms and effects of pregnancy.” (The Empathy Belly is not to be confused with the [...]

Every (Male) Sperm Is Sacred.
. . .That’s pretty close to the text of a new bill introduced to the Ohio legislature by Republican John Adams, who suggests that women who are trying to get an abortion should have to get written permission from their fetus’ fathers in order to abort. Yep, that’s right. The Record Courier reports that the [...]
