Abortions are illegal in El Salvador, and birth control is hard to come by. The irony, which seems lost on El Salvador, is that the same government that denies women control over their reproductive health is now asking those same women to control their reproductive health until 2018.

Naked is one thing, unprotected is another. Find free condoms and lube near you.

Find free condoms anywhere!! This is one of the most useful links I’ve ever found.

Abortion carries so much stigma in the US (and worldwide!) that we don’t even talk about it enough to dispel myths. While abortion may seem like a distant concept to some, in reality, 1 in 3 women in the US have had one. gk

Ads for erectile dysfunction, breast augmentation, no problem. Where are the ads for an essential women’s service?

I’m flipping through channels on a quiet Wednesday evening. My child is sleeping and my partner is reading and I am searching for a way to shut off my brain and turn on my lazy. Of course, in my search for good old-fashioned trash television, I’m viewing a series of seemingly unending ads.

I see an ad for cheeseburgers. A woman’s breasts are being used to sell a double-stacked mound of beef, dripping with condiments and garnished with over-fried sides.

I see three separate ads on three separate channels for products used to treat erectile dysfunction. A couple sitting in bathtubs, holding hands. A man and a woman smile at one another, not-so-subtle implications flying all over the place.

I see an ad for breast augmentation at a local surgical clinic. I can make my body that much more desirable if I only give them a call and shell out a few thousand dollars.

There’s an ad for depression medication and an ad for the newest line of mascara and another two ads for hair dye.

And while I am attempting to relax and turn my brain off, instead it shifts into overdrive. Why is it that I never see an ad for abortion services?

We use women’s bodies in ads, but somehow advertising abortion services is taboo. What’s the deal?
