Among 35 major national print publications, including The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, men had 81 percent of the quotes in stories about abortion, the research group said Thursday, while women had 12 percent, and organizations had 7 percent.
In stories about birth control, men scored 75 percent of the quotes, with women getting 19 percent and organizations getting 6 percent. Stories about Planned Parenthood had a similar ratio, with men getting 67 percent, women getting 26 percent, and organizations getting 7 percent.
Women fared a bit better in stories about women’s rights, getting 31 percent of the quotes compared with 52 percent for men and 17 percent for organizations.

How sad. This makes me really sad.

Here are two:
- Rubric: The rubric is an essential tool for maintaining transparency for students at Manor. Teachers carefully design rubrics to define all the desired learning outcomes for a project, including which state standards students are expected to master and how performance will be measured for each outcome. The rubric sets the standard for each project and is presented at the start so that students have clear goals to work toward.
- Group contract: Individual accountability is a critical component of successful PBL, and Manor students use group contracts to document expectations for each team member. Each project team writes a contract that clearly defines everyone’s roles, responsibilities, and contributions to the project, and students are held to it. Students can be fired if they do not fulfill their part of the contract and must complete the project on their own, although this rarely happens at Manor.

Which is why I’m pro-life
What about the right to food? The right to shelter? The right to not have your freedom restricted to pad the dividends of the Prison-Industrial Complex? The right to make informed choices about contraception, pregnancy, and birth without being subject to domestic terrorism? The right to opt out of parenthood if you know you are unprepared, unfit, dangerous, or simply not ready? The right to an education that nurtures your particular strengths and skills? The right to safe, clean, legal abortion?
These people aren’t advocating for “life.” They are advocating a political strategy that stigmatizes a legal medical procedure in order to punish those they see as sexually transgressive with either death or the financial instability that follows from a lack of reproductive choice. This will never be about life and it will always be about a longing for despotic control of people’s lives by starving them of reproductive freedom.
JUST SO WE’RE CLEAR.
I just love how the people pictured are privileged white seemingly upper-middle-class white women. Who are white.
