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 […]

May 11, 2012
HuffPost Women has a new campaign called “The Moment I Knew I Was a Woman, Not a Girl” in which users submit videos chronicling their exile from Girlville.

Fat-shaming is a hate crime
June 16, 2011
There have been too many stories about fat-shaming this past week for me to ignore it as just bad judgement by a few people. Exhibit A: Tough Love Jezebel reported yesterday on the ugly fat-shaming that came out of Gwyneth Paltrow’s mouth while talking to Ross Mathews: As you may know, Ross Mathews, the late […]
