Surviving “going viral,” or, how I launched a national conversation about abortion
Is this what it feels like when you decide to “Say Yes” in life? I am exhausted. I am touched. I am amazed. I am horrified. I am in awe. Last week I did the same thing I do every week (several times a week): I wrote a blog post. Same as I ever do. […]

In anticipation of the 40th anniversary of Roe v Wade on Jan. 22, I have written a series of posts over on The Sin City Siren. What is the state of Roe today? What is our legacy? These questions and more are examined in the links below. 40 Years of Roe: Choice in a Post-choice […]
How feticide laws turn women into gestational slaves
January 8, 2013
Anti-choice advocates have a friend in feticide laws. Akin to personhood laws, as far as I can tell, there is no upside to feticide laws. The supposed intent of such laws is to add a charge of murder to anyone who kills a fetus through violence. However, these laws are often really about criminalizing the […]

The Feminist Bill of Rights
July 16, 2012
Over on The Sin City Siren, I wrote out a Feminist Bill of Rights (loosely based on the actual Bill of Rights) in honor of Independence Day. Please, to enjoy… If the First Amendment guarantees us the freedoms of speech, assembly, religion, and to petition our government, then surely the Feminist First Amendment guarantees the […]
My so-called vegan life
May 1, 2012
I’m not exactly sure what day I became a vegan, but it was around this time last year that I realized I was a vegan. An accidental vegan, for sure, because I never intended it to happen. I use the term less as a badge of my identity and more as a short-hand for what […]
Throwing like a girl: 40 years of Title IX
February 1, 2012
In honor of the 40th anniversary of Title IX, today is National Women and Girls in Sports Day. Wow… 40 years. And what a legacy! While it’s true that Title IX is best known for the legal requirement that academic spending benefit girls and boys equally — which has most notably opened the door to […]

January 29, 2012
Whenever I’m sick I give myself license to watch whatever trashy TV I want. And since my toddler started daycare, well… I’ve had a lot of colds lately! And with all this bed rest, has come a lot more time in the world of reality TV. It’s my guilty pleasure! While watching Kourtney & Kim […]
