Happy post-Derby recuperation, and here’s a [very distilled] round-up from the interim.
An economic analysis of the relationship between pre-marital sex and its destigmatization.
Study from the National Campaignt to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy finds unprecedented vast ignorance about reproduction and contraception among American youth. Thanks, abstinence-only and sex-negativity!
What an anti-teen sexting bill ought to look like. Take heed, Kentucky legislators.
ROCK’s been endorsing this stupid effort by the Family Foundation of Kentucky to make all strippers keep distance from clients and wear pasties.
More investigation into the fundies with too much power in this country, from Rachel Maddow:

Well, what do you know? Strip clubs are safer than churches! At least in Australia.
Next Saturday is the day before Mother’s Day, and that means we ought to help EMW out. [And, you know, call our moms and such.] The protesters continue to get coverage, especially after anti-choice starlet Lila Rose leaked a heavily-edited two-year-old attack video about EMW. [See Planned Parenthood's response to such attacks here.]
Meanwhile, a ten-year-old Mexican girl is being refused an abortion. Maybe this will be the tipping point for Mexican abortion rights–we can only hope.
A woman live-tweeted her abortion.
Abortion and contraception aren’t new–they have a 4000 year history!
Pro-Choice Public Education Project: education about abortion-related SCOTUS cases.
Gallup finds that education “trumps” gender in predicting abortion rights support.
Now this is the sort of class homophobes can proudly claim: after a Mississippi lesbian student, Constance McMillen, asked to take her girlfriend to the prom [while dressed in a tux, *gasp*], the school canceled the whole prom. You can picture how much this pleased the rest of the students. After the school was forced to hold the prom, however, McMillen and her date and some disabled students were the only ones who attended. It was a decoy prom. The real prom had been held elsewhere, and kept secret from McMillen and the others.
Well, at least DC passed a resolution against the Uganda kill-the-gays bill.
More science shows that the Pill won’t kill us.
What does porn for women really look like?
A bunch of fundies got Morrison’s Song of Solomon banned from a school. ROCK frequently endorses this tactic–what did you read in school that someone objects to?
A cornucopia of climaxes: the language of orgasm.
Also, we’re updating, adding, and tweaking throughout the site. We’re also planning some new post features. Stay tuned!
