Each week, I’ll be posting a list of the most news-worthy and/or inspirational, informative, well-written, thought-provoking, and/or unique posts of the week. While every post and every contributor is valuable to our community, these are the blogs that I feel are must-reads.
July 4- July 10
Judge calls for reform of Nigerian abortion law!!- by EVA_teepee
Why I chose this post:
Justice Ishaq Bello of Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court Tuesday in Abuja called for the reform of abortion law in Nigeria on grounds that laws should be pragmatic enough to reflect current realities.
A law about abortion that actually considers the needs of women? This is good news!
Why the Anti-Universal Healthcare Movement Will Always Be Ableist, Transphobic, and Anti-Feminist- by Jordan
Why I chose this post:
The title explains it all, no?
Forgive me, for I have sinned- by talknerdytome
Why I chose this post:
I could probably just about swallow this sickly sweet fairytale about how wonderful everybody thinks our bodies are, if on the next page they weren't telling us how to change it (and how we should change it if we wish to be happy and successful). Now, like I mentioned before, I do not buy these magazines anymore, so why should I care? I care because lots of young girls do buy them, and when I was 13-16 I believed everything that was written in these magazines.
Yes! Pointing out hypocrisy is so much fun.
Maternal and Child Health: the forgotten MDG targets- by Ephrem
Why I chose this post:
Ephrem writes about the upcoming summit of the African Union, ““Maternal, Infant and Child Health and development in Africa,” which will evaluate the progress of the Millennium Development Goals. He shares a lot of astounding facts about the current state of maternal and infant health. If this is a subject you don’t know much about, you owe it to yourself to read this post!
From Ohio? Help us speak out for the ACCESS ADAP Act- by Nikki
Why I chose this post:
Without access to these vital medications and services, people living with HIV and AIDS will no longer have access to the treatment they need to stay healthy. We can't let that happen!
If you live in Ohio, this is a great way for you to help your neighbors. They deserve, and desperately need, your activism.
Thank you to everyone who posted a blog this week! You are part of what makes this community great!
