I wrote Rape & Superpowers [contains discussion of rape and victim blaming] in response to a recent terrible advice column.
In lighter posting, I’m also starting a series imagining the super adventures my dogs must have while I’m away at work.
Tori’s last post ..Easy & Ego
I put together a page of reputable US-Centric links to studies on abortion rates around the world, women’s mental health after abortion, women’s mental health after giving up children for adoption, and stories of judicial and medical over-reach in ignoring the health and safety of pregnant women (and/or their existing children) in favor of the putative health and safety of what could someday be called in-utero Americans.
The links are all ones that I used in a debate on the anti-Choice laws that are being passed like popcorn in Virginia.
And, not to be too braggy about it, but one of the commenters on the other side of the debate, basically admitted that he was sticking his fingers in his ears and singing, “la,la,la, I can’t hear you!” So I won the entire internet.
Thanks, liz, I’ve found myself collecting abortion factoids and this is very handy!
