I care about all the women and men who would lose quality health care if Planned Parenthood is defunded.

A radical anti-abortion rights group is releasing a series of heavily edited, blatantly misleading videos in an attempt to smear Planned Parenthood. The leadership of one of the groups consulting on the anti-Planned Parenthood videos includes a convicted felon who attempted to bomb an abortion clinic. And now, hackers have attacked Planned Parenthood's website and are releasing the staff's personal information. Republican presidential candidate Senator Rand Paul has vowed to use “all legislative vehicles” available to defund Planned Parenthood. And Republican leaders in Congress are rushing to schedule the first votes. More than 2.7 million people turn to Planned Parenthood's nonprofit clinics in the U.S. each year for affordable health care services, including cancer-prevention tests, well-woman visits, access to birth control, and abortion services. Make no mistake about it: Abortion rights and women's health are under attack. Tell Congress you stand with Planned Parenthood for women's health and rights.

I am a victim of domestic abuse. My brother has made a life for himself while physically abusing me and verbally abusing me as well. My life is not at all how I planned it as a small child and i want justice foe the years of pure hell that he put me through. my brother has a big house and a car and all these nice things yet he is an abusive jerk who still gets away with it. and holds my family hostage. many people like me have been through pure hell and have nothing to show for the torture our abusers put us through and pure abusers have money and cars and houses and good jobs that we don't have and we still are stuck. Let's take their jobs and car and houses from them.

Most offenders get a slap on the wrist for beating their partner, daughter in-law, etc. Most women are terrified to call the police out of fear that nothing will be done, or their abuser will be released the next day. I myself am a survivor of domestic violence; my ex father in-law hit me twice in the head with a steel skillet, causing a large bruise on my brain and a hair-line fracture in my skull. I now live with chronic vertigo and severe anxiety, among other things. My attacker received 37 days in jail as a repeat offender. Please stiffen the punishments on these people so their victims can sleep peacefully knowing their abuser can never hurt them again.

Republican leaders like Speaker John Boehner are calling for a formal investigation into Planned Parenthood after an edited video surfaced that falsely accused the organization of selling organs. This is the GOP's latest stunt to take away women's rights to their own health care needs. Women and the men who love them must stand up, or we will have no rights and neither will our daughters. We all need to fight for our reproductive rights and healthcare for all women.

Honor his victims: Remove Bill Cosby's star.

We need vindication for the victims.

The USA’s National Women’s team just won their THIRD World Cup, but FIFA is still treating our champions as second-class citizens. The high-profile Women’s World Cup final match shattered television records with over 25 million viewers -- making it the most watched soccer game in U.S. history.(1) Yet, our world champions are being paid FORTY TIMES LESS than their male counterparts did for LOSING the World Cup last year during the first round ($576 million vs. $15 million)!(2) FIFA, which generates billions in revenue, also forced women — but not the men — to play this year’s World Cup on artificial turf. This not only increased the risk of injury, but also increased temperatures on the field by 20-30 degrees. During tournament, field temperatures reached 120 degrees.(3) It is no secret that gender-pay disparity runs rampant in the United States with women making 78 cents per dollar to men.(4) And this blatant pay discrimination by FIFA may be the most extreme case yet. It is time for FIFA’s executives to take a stand for equal pay, stop underscoring our heroic female leaders, and provide them with the same awards and privileges as men. Join me to stand alongside women and men all across the globe to right this injustice and ensure that our champions and all women receive equal pay. 1. http://variety.com/2015/tv/news/womens-world-cup-carli-lloyd-usa-win-soccer-ratings-1201534249/ 2. http://www.politico.eu/article/world-cup-women-pay-gap-gender-equality/ 3. http://thinkprogress.org/sports/2015/07/06/3677105/fifa-will-pay-us-womens-championship-team-4-times-less-mens-teams-lost-first-round/ and http://www.sportingnews.com/soccer/story/2015-06-03/womens-world-cup-turf-war-fifa-canada-artificial-turf-natural-grass 4. http://www.newrepublic.com/article/121530/women-color-make-far-less-78-cents-mans-dollar

The U.S. Women's soccer team made history last night after winning the World Cup for the third time. Their prize? $2 million. Not bad until you learn that the men's teams were awarded $8 million--simply for losing in the first round. Why? Because according to FIFA's leadership, equal pay for women is "nonsense." This is outrageous, but with media coverage around the game growing, FIFA's gender pay discrimination is finally getting some attention. If enough of us stand up to FIFA while billions of people and international media are watching, we can force FIFA to start respecting women and end its discriminatory pay practice.

It's about time, she said.

Detroiters and metro-Detroiters, we on in the process of rebirth. We don't want anyone coming to our community with their darkness. Take that back to your hometown.

According to Equal Rights Advocates, a national civil rights organization based in San Francisco, a woman in California working full time made a median of 84 cents for every dollar a man earned. You might be wondering if that statistic is from 1965 or something... it's not. It's from 2013. Most people I've talked to have personally experienced the wage gap. A couple years ago, I was working in a cafe and found out that the inexperienced 19-year-old new guy made $10 an hour while I only made $8.50--even though I had 7 years of server and barista experience under my belt, including 6 months at this place. Even our country's most successful women have encountered this, including talented actors like Patricia Arquette, who won the Academy Award for Best Actress earlier this year and called for wage equality in her acceptance speech. A bill to close the wage gap that women face at work passed the Senate floor on a unanimous, bipartisan vote earlier this week. The measure would give California the toughest law in the nation to ensure that women are paid the same as men for performing jobs that are substantially similar. But the fight isn't over: The bill now goes to the state Assembly before heading to Governor Brown's desk. Show your support! Equal pay for equal work!
