____ in the City

You've heard about Sex in the City....

Well what about Safe in the City?

Plan B is NOT an abortive pill!

I just want it to be known that no, Plan B (or the morning after pill) is NOT an abortive pill. It is a super charged hormone pill that prevents fertilization from occurring.

After learning about Midwest Teen Sex Show's Nikol and her experience trying to get the drug, I really wanted to just get that out there.

PLAN B IS NOT ABORTIVE!

So get those sticks out of your asses, patronizing pharmacists and right wing nutjobs, and treat women with some fuggin' respect before I beat you stupider than you already are.

Obama + Planned Parenthood = <3

I just read on Feministing that Planned Parenthood has officially endorsed Obama.

Watch their president, Cecile Richards, announce their endorsement, and Obama accept the endorsement... HERE.

I have previously mentioned my affinity for Obama.

I have also mentioned my affinity for Planned Parenthood.

I think it is important that we remember that Planned Parenthood does not only offer abortion procedures.

As a young woman they have given me free condoms, a prescription for affordable oral contraceptives, emergency contraception, and they have tested my partner and I for sexually transmitted diseases at a fraction of the cost of a normal physician.

They, most likely, have saved me from facing an unintended pregnancy. Because of their presence in this community I have never been faced with the decision of abortion.

I am glad to see that they have endorsed Obama. A lot is riding on this election, including the next nomination for the Supreme Court.

McCain has sworn to do everything in his power to overthrow Roe v. Wade. I am glad that Planned Parenthood is speaking out in favor of the better candidate, one who trusts women with their own bodies.
