Art?
April 18th, 2008 · No Comments
I am all about freedom of expression as well as reproductive justice in general, but the following so-called “art” piece makes me cringe… This “art” makes trivial both the birth and termination processes real women go through… I am sad to see this right now… especially in a time where a woman’s right to choose […]

So yesterday was April Fool’s Day and I pulled quite the hilarious joke on my two best male friends. I told each of them that I made out with the other guy and let’s just say that they totally fell for it. Well, one did. One of my female friends actually pranked […]
