  BlogHer - Health & Wellness — Authority: 145

• Guest Post: Mothering and Disability

  
  Feministing — Authority: 729
  For me, to be a woman with a disability, cerebral palsy, means to journey outside of the ramifications of femininity and fertility. The sexualization of the handicapped body is taboo. My sex life cannot be normal, it must exist for others as: a fetish, an impossibility or, at best, a co-habitation with another ...

  unrepentant old hippie — Authority: 478
  That more than a few conservativ e knuckledraggers view females as the baby-making equivalent of those bread machines that pop out perfect little loaves on demand is not a new concept, and often makes great fodder for parody and satire.  But occasionally one of these boneheads will belch out a quote of such brain ...

  Majority Post — Authority: 534

• Indian Health and Abortion Rights: A Dose of Hope Laced with Poison Pills

  
  RaceWire — Authority: 612
  Though it has lurked on the sidelines in the national health care debate, Indian Health Services is one instructive example of a government-run health system that, for all its faults, serves as a fraying lifeline for impoverished communities devastated by just about everything from diabetes to teen suicide.

• It’s Not OK to Hold My Reproductive Rights Hostage to Pass Health Care Reform

  
  Firedoglake — Authority: 748
  November 7, 2009 should have been a day for me to celebrate. After months of organizing phone banks to call our reps and dealing with Tea Party insanity , the House finally passed a health care reform bill that would cover 96 percent of Americans , and even included a reasonably strong public option. I should have ...

• Stop Stupak: Volunteer to Phone Bank

  
  Firedoglake — Authority: 748
  The anti-choice brigade have set up a big tent in the Democratic party.

It’s time to let them know that they need to abandon Stupak and get with the ...

  Feminist Philosophers — Authority: 521
  As we’ve noted before , the Stupak amendment passed by the house would have devastating consequences for women’s access to abortion in the US.

  The Feminist Texican — Authority: 472
  Excellent read - NY Magazine: Just how pro-choice is America, really? NARAL’s Nancy Keenan likes to say that abortion’s biggest defenders right now are a “menopausal militia”—a rueful, inspired little joke. These baby-boomers, whose young adulthoods were defined by the fight over the right to choose, ...
