Policies like the Hyde Amendment ensure that abortion is a right in name only for women who cannot afford them.
J. Marion Sims experimented on enslaved black women without their consent and without anesthesia. We’re joining BYP100 to call for the removal of his monuments in NY, SC & AL.
Add your name to demand the removal of all J. Marion Sims monuments.
We are not saints, we are not whores, we are women.
some needed motivation
Women - especially women of color - have always led the resistance.
Heads up: Trump is about to make it easier for your boss to refuse to cover your birth control.
Good news! Oregon just EXPANDED abortion access, taking a firm stand against Trump’s extreme agenda: http://bit.ly/2i79EmD
“The measure, called the Reproductive Health Equity Act, requires health insurers to provide birth control and abortions without charging a co-pay, and also allocates state funds to provide reproductive health care to non-citizens unable to access Medicaid.
The Pro-Choice Coalition of Oregon, which helped write the law, said that the new legislation will not only increase access to abortion, but also birth control and postpartum care for low-income women. It also adds that this is the first legislation in the States to comprehensively address systemic barriers to reproductive health care.

“Democratic candidates are perfectly welcome to refrain from terminating their own pregnancies. But to be anti-choice on a policy level is absolutely indefensible from an economic justice, racial justice, gender justice and human rights standpoint. And if the Democratic Party does not stand for any of those things, then what on earth is it?”
If your “path to victory” excludes bodily autonomy and reproductive freedom, it’s not really a victory.
Shrugging off the importance of bodily autonomy and human rights for half the population is NOT a moderate stance.
Just last week, Senator Dean Heller let down Nevadans across the state when he voted to take healthcare away from millions. We deserve leaders who will stand up for our rights - which is why we’re proud to endorse Jacky Rosen, who is the community leader, business woman, and the independent voice Nevadans deserve fighting for us in the U.S. Senate!
To those who marched, protested, called, faxed, and tweeted — to those who raised their voices to #SaveACA: THANK YOU.
