Is there any kind of campaign going on to get better maternity leave here in the US? I understand that the defunding of PP is a big issue, but I would really like for more feminists to make maternity leave a top priority on the agenda!
Right on Nancy Goldstein! The NY gay marriage bill is a big step, but thanking and congratulating the lawmakers who supported the bill is ridiculous. People shouldn’t need to express gratitude for the law respecting their basic human rights.
