Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt has the potential to ensure a woman’s right to choose — or give abortion opponents more power than ever. It’s not news that abortion rights are under attack in America. Although seven in 10 Americans support a woman’s right to choose, anti-abortion legislators, lobbyists and extremists will stop at nothing — not a shooting spree, […]

I’ve long believed, as do so many others, that the forced birther movement, which claims to be about “saving lives”, is little more than a subterfuge for their real aim: controlling women. Why else would they go after contraception time and time again? Why else would they want to defund Planned Parenthood that prevents more unwanted pregnancies and abortions than […]

Come celebrate women, have some fun and take action to vote out anti-women candidates in November. It’s going to be a heck of a bash — and Michigan is going to make some noise about elected officials who are bad news for women on Saturday, Sept. 27 from 2-5 p.m. at the The Park Bar in Detroit. The goal is […]

An all-star lineup of speakers and entertainers will engage and energize women’s advocates and voters at free event. On Saturday, September 27, Lady Parts Justice is hosting a nationwide celebration of women, with official events and house parties in every state.

Are you sick of watching politicians trample all over women’s reproductive rights and the choices they make about their bodies? Do you want to elect officials who actually think women should be treated equally and with […]

Groups with firmly held beliefs don’t want the rest of us making their healthcare choices. Why do they think they can control ours? A Michigan woman being denied care at a Catholic hospital while having a miscarriage because of the dictates of bishops. Another in Texas being kept on life support against her wishes and those of her family because […]

If you don’t want 4 percent of Michigan’s voters making decisions for everyone, it’s time to speak out. Right to Life of Michigan has garnered enough signatures to force through an initiative that would forbid insurers from offering abortion coverage unless women buy a separate rider in advance — even in the case of rape, incest or a threat to […]

Students and community groups amplified the real voices of women to put people before rhetoric in the conversation on abortion in the United States. Having an abortion is never an easy decision.
