The Roe v. Wade anniversary is tomorrow, celebrating 38 years of mobility toward reproductive choice. "Stupak on Steroids" is trying to diminish the rights of pregnant rape and incest victims, and increase health insurance costs if policies include abortion coverage, of which 87% currently do. Petition and more information.
An equally disturbing realization about women and girl who aren't receiving education in lesser developed countries like Malawi: Time-consuming household chores take time away from studying. If families can't afford fees or supplies, girls are pulled out of school. Other girls are forced into an early marriage -- ending their educational opportunities. Hopefully, through voter submissions and petition signings, the UN will continue its progress on expanding worldwide education for all genders. Petition and more information.
For some young women, cheerleading means popularity. For others, humility. A high school girl, having recently reported being raped by a schoolmate, was threatened to cheer for her rapist at a high school game, or she'd be kicked off the squad. The young woman should be issued an apology and her case should be dealt with sensitively by officials. Petition and more information.
