IT’S NOBODY’S BUSINESS TO TELL SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL(IZED) VIOLENCE HOW TO DEAL WITH THAT VIOLENCE. EVEN IF THEY’RE POP STARS. EVEN IF YOU’RE FRIENDS WITH SOMEONE IN LE TIGRE.
MEDIA, YOU GOTTA STOP CONSISTENTLY DEPLOYING NARRATIVES IN WHICH RIHANNA’S AGENCY IN THIS SITUATION IS ERASED. STOP PORTRAYING RIHANNA AS PASSIVE, STUPID, NAIVE, WRONGHEADED, AND/OR MORALLY REPREHENSIBLE.

Jezebel: How to Help a Friend Through an Abortion →
Sometimes people have abortions and they are cool with it, and that’s okay. Sometimes people have abortions and they are robo-upset about it, and that’s okay too. Sometimes even girls who are adamantly pro-choice and feel really strongly about abortion rights and have worked for years at high profile pro-choice organizations can feel a little crappy after their abortion. And that is...

My qt pie aunt was super concerned that
the scarf she got me for Xmas was “too bridge-and-tunnel.”
Being home for christmas is: watching the not-that-funny pop up video redux series on Vh1 at 2am — episode entitled “modern metal”— and learning that the lead singer of korn was abused as a child and it inspired his music, so now what do I do with this knowledge?

How can we, as a community of reproductive health professionals and advocates, parlay this story (and others like it) into a comprehensive discussion of abortion access and women living in poverty? This NYT article touches on the many, many things that can impede access to abortion care for low income women of color (kudos!) but also refers to “the widespread availability of safe, legal...
