Urge President-Elect Obama to Restore Women’s Reproductive Freedom

Last month, as a holiday gift to American women, George Bush issued a dangerous and out of touch regulation part of a string of regulations known as the now famous “midnight regulations” that would allow everyone from a woman’s doctor, or even her doctor’s receptionist to deny women birth control and routine birth control services.

This new regulation is a tremendous leap backward for women’s reproductive and sexual health and denies women access to reproductive health care. Insurance companies would have the power to deny claims for birth control pills, hospitals could refuse emergency contraception to rape survivors and federally-funded clinics could refuse to give their patients advice or information about birth control.

98% of women in this country take birth control at some point in their lives. This regulation could affect any of us, no matter where we live, and we cannot afford to wait until it does. That is why we must urge President-Elect Obama to restore women’s reproductive freedom and reverse this regulation once he gets into office.

Sex-Positivity

I'm passionate about sex-positivity and believe every sexual being should have the freedom to explore their sexuality safely and without condemnation. I even lost my ad network after my refusal to censor myself after reviewing feminist porn.

So if you're in the market for sex toys, porn, books, etc. take a look at the retailers below, all of which are feminist-friendly.

Out Campaign

The OUT Campaign allows individuals to let others know they are not alone. It can also be a nice way of opening a conversation and help to demolish the negative stereotypes of atheists. Let the world know that we are not about to go away and that we are not going to allow those that would condemn us to push us into the shadows.
