Last week was quite a week! In the reproductive rights and health world:
- Jessica Valenti has a great piece on how the virginity movement is trying to re-brand itself.
- Megan at Jezebel has a piece up on Jezebel about whether the porn industry should start using condoms, and how that affects our images of sex.
- Lynn Harris has a fantastic piece over at RH Reality Check on how intimate partner violence can include forced pregnancies.
- Planned Parenthood is talked about in this Salon article on the Senate resolution condemning violence against women’s healthcare providers.
- Joe Biden appoints advocate Lynn Rosenthal to be the first-ever White House Advisor on Violence Against Women.
And of course, in non reproductive health news, Michael Jackson passed away on Friday. Sociological Images has a great gallery of the singer’s impact all over the world that’s definitely worth checking out.
That’s all we’ve got for now, although some great photos of us at Pride this weekend will be forthcoming. What did you read about this weekend?
