Check out the Ninth Carnival of Feminists over at Mind the Gap for some great feminist reads. Pasted below are just a very few snippets from the many terrific selections found at Mind the Gap.
"Natalie from 'Philobiblion' reports on the The International Planned Parenthood Federation's estimate that 19 million women worldwide will have an unsafe abortion in 2006."
"'Abortion Clinic Days' considers the intersection between medicine and politics in relation to the prescription of Accutane, a drug which cures cystic acne, but causes severe birth defects if the user becomes pregnant."
"Rad Geek looks at the Abortion debate in Australia."
"'The Bad Feminist' argues that abortion is not always the most important life and death struggle for feminism and it should not necessarily be our highest priority."
"'Red State Feminist' addresses Stay at Home Moms and Housewives."
"Kactus, from 'Super Babymama', brings out the racism and classism inherent in media scare stories about "bad" welfare mothers."
And there is so much more! Thanks to the women at Mind the Gap for bringing us this veritable feminist treasure. Be sure to pay them a visit.
