Via @UniteWomen.org The most common argument heard in support of the 20 week ‪#‎abortion‬ ban is "a woman should know by then if she wants an abortion". Fact: Around 1% of all abortions are performed after 20 weeks and almost all of those are due to the health of the fetus or mother. Consider that standard testing for the viability of a fetus is done at 20 weeks. Nicole Stewart's story is extremely common. Share this with those who do not seem to understand why a woman would decide to get an abortion after 20 weeks. “The main reason I have told my story is that I don’t think a majority of people understand why a woman would want to or need to have an abortion after 20 weeks,” she said. “That’s really all I care about getting out there — that this is not an irresponsible decision. It’s not a decision against life. It’s a decision that is medically driven and really should be between a doctor, her patient and the husband — period.” ‪#‎ReproRights

"... they set her up in a cheap hotel room and told her she’d have to earn her keep. She was a prostitute here, and a portion of the money she made was given back to the drug network.” “In searching her room, we found items to indicate that they were beginning to advertise her on websites as a prostitute,” he said. “That’s textbook human trafficking"

If you’re a woman, chances are you’ve a) spent time fidgeting in a long line waiting to use a public toilet, b) delayed a bodily function because you don’t want to or haven’t the time to waste standing in line to use a public toilet, c) considered sneaking into a men’s room—illegal in some places, or d) cursed loudly because of all of the above.

How many of us have needed a helping hand, from time to time!? I know I have. I also know that I have received gift cards, that usually have a small, almost inconsequential, amount of money left on them, after I have used them. What if we took that leftover amount, that we really can't use, and lend a helping hand?

" This year’s news has been demoralizing for American women. If we want 2015 to be any different, maybe instead of drawing up the same old New Year’s resolutions, we should start by imagining a different America altogether. What would this country look like if we insisted on everything feminists ever demanded or dreamed of?"

2014 has been a year of feminist insurrection against male violence: a year of mounting refusal to be silent, refusal to let our lives and torments be erased or dismissed. It has not been a harmonious time, but harmony is often purchased by suppressing those with something to say. It was loud, discordant, and maybe transformative, because important things were said – not necessarily new, but said more emphatically, by more of us, and heard as never before.

Fetal homicide laws are supposed to offer pregnant women extra protection from domestic violence and other attacks. For example, a drunk driver who kills a pregnant woman can be charged with two murders in the 38 states that have fetal homicide laws on the books. But these laws are increasingly used against pregnant women by criminalizing them for having a miscarriage or by placing the "rights" of the fetus above the rights of the mother, much like the anti-choice personhood laws that have proliferated in recent years. Join us in calling on the DOJ to take action to ensure that fetal homicide laws are never used against the mothers they are supposed to protect!

The Winter Solstice, December 21, is an astronomical phenomenon which marks the longest night of the year. It has inspired countless ancient solstice rituals, bringing people together to celebrate the turning point in the Earth’s journey around the sun and the birth of a new year. Sacred rituals and ceremonies mark the occasion with goodwill, forgiveness and love. At Stonehenge and other places, huge stones were placed together to frame the setting sun on the day of the Winter Solstice. As the sun shines down its life giving rays, we may also be a light in this world, bringing wisdom, love, and peace, helping the world to be a better place. Without light, there would be no life... Be that light. The Winter Solstice is one of the most universally celebrated events.
