So, I realize that generally this post is full of specific information or advice around having safer sex, but this month I seem to be without a good question. Instead I thought I’d try to spark a discussion about one of the hardest aspects of sexual actions to identify, name, or teach: Decision Making.
Pro-choice activists have been up in arms lately about not only the Stupak-Pitts amendment, but the increasingly violent framework in which the abortion debate has been situated. Interestingly enough, the climate seems to be quite the opposite in South Korea. Unlike in the United States, where doctors have been threatened daily and even killed for [...]
I revisited Choice this week and found myself having trouble deciding which story to choose until I came across Kate Maloy’s A Normal Woman. With all the goings on with the Tiller murder, this story got me thinking on how if the right would just listen to women and maybe investigate a little bit as [...]
I just have to rant for a second. Hang in there, OK?
“Feminism” does not exist as a singular ideology that always looks at any given subject in any particular way. Rather than reduce an analysis down to a universal conclusion, by and large, feminists hope to inject topics with larger perspectives that may [...]
I picked up this wonderful book the other day at the library called Choices. I fell in love with it right away as it is emblazoned with a pregnancy test on the cover. It is a collection of true stories about the kinds of choices women make, or should be able to make, concerning reproduction [...]

So if you went to college and took a lit class, chances are you were forced to read a lot of things you didn’t want to, like Hemingway. I, for one, am not a fan of his with the exception of his short story Hills Like White Elephants. I remember where I was when I [...]
As if women didn’t have enough threats to their right to choose in this country, Oklahoma is doing its part to make sure women slowly but surely are demonized and criminalized for their right to choose to have an abortion.
If you live in Oklahoma, i officially extend my condolences.
H.B 1595 is a new provision on [...]
I had the pleasure of participating in a conference call with Catholics for Choice yesterday morning to hear about the release of a recent poll the organization conducted about Catholic voters and their opinions on health care reform and reproductive health care coverage.
923 Catholic voters, selected randomly, participated in the poll, and 84% of participants [...]
As I have said before–real reproductive choice includes the right of women to have and raise their children out of poverty. There are, of course, a number of obstacles to this, from the wage gap to higher rates of poverty among women, access to affordable medical care (including reproductive health care and birth control), [...]
