Yahoo is profiting from ads that mislead and lie to women, and it has to stop. As you read this, women are searching for "abortion clinics" on Yahoo. But the majority of the ads they'll get are for anti-choice crisis pregnancy centers (CPCs) and groups that oppose abortion. In reality, CPCs are predatory organizations that lure women in to tell them dangerous lies--that they will get cancer or become suicidal if they get an abortion--or even to dissuade them from using birth control. Google just took down a slew of deceptive CPC ads. Yahoo has advertising policies to prevent this kind of deception, and they need to enforce them. Billions of people use Yahoo each month, and if Yahoo does nothing, the tens of thousands of women who search for abortion counseling will be subjected to lies and deception.

Tomorrow, the California Assembly Health Committee will consider an abortion ban that stigmatizes our community and could lead to racial profiling of Asian American & Pacific Islander (AAPI) women in the doctors office. We’re outraged that this is happening in the state with the highest number of AAPIs, and during the first week of Asian American Heritage Month no less. Tell California lawmakers to reject AB2336. AB 2336 is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. As with similar bans spreading across the country, the people behind AB 2336 consistently vote against women’s rights- including reproductive rights, equal pay, and freedom from gender-based violence. They say this “sex selective abortion ban” is about gender equality, but it’s really about banning abortion. They’re doing it under the pretense of equality to pass it through without a fight. Worse, AB 2336 stereotypes the AAPI community. Without conclusive evidence, anti-choice politicians are saying Asian immigrants are bringing backward values to the U.S. and practicing sex-selection because they prefer boy children. They’re relying on what is happening in India and China, and on anti-immigrant sentiment, to try and pass this bill on the backs of AAPI women. If this bill passes, doctors in California may scrutinize AAPI women’s health decisions in ways other women wouldn’t be subject to. They may even decide not to provide us abortion care, out of fear of going to jail and paying heavy fines. This is unacceptable. Tell California lawmakers to vote NO on AB 2336.

Louisiana HB1274 (which was HB348) forces women to be kept on life support as human incubators. Instead of honoring her wishes (even in a living will), family wishes, and medical advice, this bill says the government can decide for you. There is no exception for suffering, no accounting for a severely impaired fetus, and no explanation of who will pay for this unwanted care.

As a lifelong Flyers' fan I have seen......seasons ending far too soon, free agency players let go by the wayside, excellent players traded away to other teams only to go on and contribute & win Stanley Cups! Let's not forget the players past their prime acquired & those many contracts with far too much time & money written into them! We are the loyalest fan base in the NHL & deserve more than "next year"! Paul Holmgren has had 8 seasons as a GM and gotten us nowhere. Hexy is back, give him & your fans a chance!

Through studying the trends of young relationships I have found the issue of objectification of women is altering the way relationships are developing today. I believe that pornography teaches young adults to objectify women. When it is accessed at a very early age, and becomes a teenager's first exposure to sex, their view of sex and relationships can become horribly skewed. I don't want to see young adults begin treating women as an object because of pornography, when Internet providers have the ability to restrict this.

If you've watched CNN, NBC or FOX in the last week you will have been exposed to yet another case of breathtaking sexism in the mainstream media.

Even though it's against California law, Pier 1 forces pregnant workers to do eight weeks of light duty before making them take months-long unpaid leave.

As colleges and universities across the country face rising outrage over how they deal with sexual assault, this latest case is a textbook example of how successful athletes are protected at the cost of their victims.

So many women today face discrimination on a daily basis--whether in the workplace, at home, in their personal lives, or in any other domain--that goes largely unnoticed by society but that we must work to stop. CEDAW outlines provisions key to ending discrimination against women and to protecting women's equality and fair treatment. It is a United Nations resolution that the United States has not ratified but that cities around the county, such as San Francisco, are acting on and adopting.

“The price of a college education should not include a 1 in 5 chance of being sexually assaulted." Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Claire McCaskill are tired of colleges ignoring sexual assault, flouting survivor protection laws, and blaming victims for their rape. They have a plan to enforce the Clery Act, which requires colleges to disclose assaults on and off-campus, bolster Title IX protections that provide staff for survivors, and expand the Violence Against Women Act to better protect students. But they need appropriations subcommittee chairman Sen. Tom Harkin to sign on for the money needed for the Department of Education and Office of Civil Rights to get it done — and if we don't speak up, college assaults will continue to be an everyday horror ignored by millions. Will you call on the chairman to put an end to college sexual assaults?

In modern society, many women are still not treated as equals to men. They are quite often subject to severe sexism, violence, and lack of education in Latin American communities.

Women are largely absent from the top levels of corporate management, only 7 out of 100 of the highest earning CEOs in America are women! The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Office has recently issued some strong and detailed recommendations for removing barriers for equal pay and improve the status for women in the workplace. The Paycheck Fairness Act was a good beginning to the fight for equality, don't let this issue be set aside so easily. Tell the White House and Congress that this bill needs to be re-introduced and then passed!
