RH Reality Check's reader survey results are in! Thanks to the tremendous feedback, we're building on our successes and rising to the challenges. Read on...
I was born in a city where women died because there was no access to legal and safe abortion. Last week the Supreme Court of Mexico changed all of that, upholding the rights of women to make decisions about their own health and lives.
Gov. Palin, have you thought about what would happen if you succeeded in getting your position -- that fetuses have a right to life -- established as the law of the land?
Of the twenty-five states that have turned down Title V abstinence-only funds, 80% have taken their leave because of principled stands that abstinence-only does not work.
Religious right wing organizations have more empathy for Bristol Palin's pregnancy than they know what to do with. But empathy is nowhere to be found in their judgmental policy agendas for the rest of American teens.
The truth of adolescent sexuality lies somewhere between the abstinence/childbearing catch-22 of the Republican party platform and the racy shock value of the teen soap Gossip Girl.
The far-right controls John McCain's VP selection, the GOP Platform, and now is trying to have it both ways on abortion as they use Sarah Palin to appeal to conservatives, and Cindy McCain to confuse pro-choice voters. They want to control you.
The John McCain campaign says this is a just a private family matter. Sen. Barack Obama says candidates' families, especially children, are off limits. But when family matters relate directly to policy matters, they are fair for discussion.
All Jim Wallis needs to know about you is that you have a womb that's got a zygote in it, and the "right" decision -- to carry your pregnancy to term -- is made.
Sexuality education in Colombia has failed to reduce teen motherhood -- and a new study finds the curriculum's failure to address cultural stereotypes of male and female behavior is partly to blame.
Feminism is about women being seen as competent moral agents, not restricting the options and conditions women have to make the choice that is best for them. Feminists for Life and the policies of Sarah Palin miss the mark.
STD rates are up among older adults. And our reaction -- surprise, confusion -- suggests that we need to examine our attitudes towards sexuality at any age.
Sarah Palin is a proud member of Feminists for Life, so what does that mean to the feminists who've been fighting for women's rights since before being feminist was cool?
The joy of announcing her first grand-daughter-to-be highlights the failures of Alaska's abstinence-only-until-marriage programs. Other Governors rejected federal funds. Palin accepted them and McCain will keep dishing them out. But the programs, obviously, don't work.
The Daily Show's Samantha Bee can't quite find the right word, and neither can delegates to the GOP convention. If they can't say it, it's fair to suggest they won't uphold it.
Palin slashed funding for special needs kids, Florida school district suspends ab-only program, US teen pregnancy rate much higher than other developed nations.
