[Today’s guest author is anonymous.] 1972 – Prior to Roe v Wade I marched to the Minnesota State Capitol with other young women from my high school with a sign reading “Keep the State Out of My Vagina!” A 15-year-old friend had a legal abortion arranged in New York by her family. If I had […]
Today’s post is my guest author Heather C. Postcards: Are easier for congressional aids to review and tally, Add a visual message to your prose, Are cheaper than sending a letter, and Have a larger impact than an email. Legislators assume that for every letter or postcard they receive from a constituent, there are at […]
Today’s post is by Andrew Scherer I’ve thought a lot about what makes anyone a “person.” Perhaps “personhood” has only ever been a label that humanity has used as a linguistic gate-keeping device in order to justify oppression, cruelty, and the killing of people they do not like and want to eliminate.

This viral video about fetuses being parasites is honestly the perfect example of what happens when you give a first year undergrad a small bit of technical knowledge and a camera. (I’m not saying she is a first year undergrad – just […]
[Today’s guest article is by an anonymous author.] It’s been strange watching various reactions to Dobbs overturning Roe. Both pro-lifers and pro-choicers have insisted that society should focus on the reality of women no longer having abortion to use as a solution to crisis pregnancy. They worry whether we are properly equipped for their needs. […]
No one ever thought things could get this wild. With the recent leakage of the Supreme Court’s draft opinion in the Dobbs case, pro-choice activists have taken to the streets in protest of the possible overturning of Roe v. Wade. While most of the protests have been peaceful, a number of pro-choice people have grown […]
Roe is on the rocks. If the draft majority opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson obtained by Politico holds, the landmark ruling declaring there to be a constitutional right to elective abortion will be, as former Vice President Mike Pence once put it, thrown in “the ash heap of history.” Ignoring the reality that there is […]
