First World Feminism
What's the point of this website?

A fair question. Two quick answers:

1. Those of us lucky enough to live in the most progressive parts of the world tend to focus on how good we have it, and yet we still haven’t achieved true gender equality.

2. I’m over trying to pitch women’s magazines. If the story isn’t about slimmer thighs for summer, they’re just not interested.

This stuff is important, I’ll try not to make it too dry.

Important (From NARAL)

It’s a terrifying thought: being pregnant and facing a serious illness or injury.

What if your doctor told you that the situation was so serious that continuing your pregnancy would place your life at risk? It would be tragic, but you’d probably want the very best health care, to have all of your options available, and to be treated as quickly as possible.

Now imagine being rushed to the emergency room – and the hospital refuses to provide the emergency abortion care you need to save your life.

The anti-choice majority in the U.S. House of Representatives recently voted to give hospitals this “right” – to refuse to provide lifesaving abortion care to women who will die without it. Don’t let the U.S. Senate do the same.

Urge your senators to oppose the “Let Women Die Bill”
