Feministing: Georgia Right to Life Using Racialized Gender Narratives to Garner Support - You see, THOSE DAMN ABORTION FREAKS ARE THE REAL RACISTS! Obviously, giving black women the ability to control their bodies is eugenics.

RaceWire: Race and LGBT Health: Coloring in the Gaps - "To the extent that communities of color have developed movements around health care equity—advocating for more clinics in underserved areas, for example, or demanding better language access for immigrants—LGBT people of color face the dual political hurdles of alienation from their own racial and ethnic communities, and from a mainstream LGBT rights movement that orients its public image toward middle-class whites."

Feministing: 40 Days for Anti-Choice Harassment - "Today marks the start of "40 Days for Life," a campaign of escalated harassment outside targeted reproductive health clinics." Religion - once again - becomes a weapon against the freedom of women.

The Feminist Texican: On Gender, Rape, and Media Narratives - Discussing the media treatment of a rape case in NYC involving a man and several NYPD officers. Potentially triggering, and maddening.

ReadWriteStart - Why We Need Tech Events For Women - "In a tech community that often identifies as a meritocracy, we asked three event organizers why the industry needs female-centric events."
