Hi Steph,
I’ve heard that some people use “natural family planning” as birth control. What does that mean? Does it really work?
I definitely hear you on the skepticism – fertility awareness, as it’s called, takes a lot of discipline that most (myself included) just don’t have. If it weren’t for my two co-workers that swear by [...]
I recently tried to tackle Cynthia Gorney’s book Articles of Faith: A Frontline History of the Abortion Wars. I will admit that I had quite a bit of trouble getting through it.

“I demand the independence of woman, her right to support herself; to live for herself; to love whomever she pleases, or as many as she pleases. I demand freedom for both sexes, freedom of action, freedom in love and freedom in motherhood.” –Emma Goldman

This is part three of my review of Gloria Feldt’s The War on Choice. Yesterday I talked about her analysis of sex education legislation. And on Tuesday I looked at “The State of the Uterus.”
In “Exporting Extremism,” Feldt documents the way right wing ideology permeated American foreign policy during the Bush [...]
