I was in the 8th grade the first time I heard this song that addresses many of the intersecting issues (race, gender and class) that surround reproductive justice in America. My friend Nicole played it in class that year and it was one of the first times I remember really understanding the power that music [...]

You may have seen news reports last week about a physician in Philadelphia who was arrested and charged with several counts of murder (along with a laundry list of other charges) after a search of his abortion clinic found the remains of babies and fetuses and evidence that he had been responsible for the death of [...]
Singing our Truth #2: Brick

I love this song. Everytime I hear it I think about a particular teenage couple that I counseled several years ago. Which leads us to the how universal all the complex feelings surrounding these decisions can be. But I’ll let Ben Folds speak for himself about that: “People ask me what this song’s about… I was asked [...]
Singing Our Truth #1: Amendment

Music is a really amazing way to communicate—feelings, ideas, stories and of course, politics. This weekend I went to see Ani DiFranco play at the Keswick theatre. I’ve been an Ani fan since high school and I’ll never forget the first time I saw her live; I was overwhelmed by being in a space with [...]
De-stigmatization through TV

I’m not sure that my title makes sense, but it seems to me if something is mainstream and common enough to be advertised on TV, it’s time for us as a society to reconsider whether or not there should be stigma attached to it. Maybe advertising on TV is the key to making abortion “seem” to [...]
Save a life, be ex-communicated by the church.

To me, the most amazing thing about being a human, gifted with conciousness and the ability to reason is that we have the capacity to make complex decisions. Whether you believe that ability is the gift of a higher power or an evolutionary quirk, this is the thing that distinguishes us from all other creatures [...]

There was a lot of talk leading up to the Superbowl last night about an ad sponsored by Focus on the Family, an anti-choice organization, that would air during the game. The ad would feature Heisman Trophy winning Tim Tebow and his mother discussing her decision (or choice, if you prefer) to continue her pregnancy against her physician’s advice. Talking [...]
Law & Order?

I thought about writing my own post about Friday’s terrible and inaccurate portrayal of the murder of Dr. George Tiller, but Charlotte Taft, of the Abortion Care Network, has already said it all for me: Dr. George Tiller Murdered Again Abortion Providers Angry at Law & Order episode When the Independent Abortion providers who make [...]
