Hugely impactful book #ourbodiesourselves — for me & the young women I grew up with…. So much important information about our bodies and health that we would never had known about without this essential Bible.

Actual books maybe best for research for woman. Does anyone know if searching using “incognito” is actually safe? #OurBodiesOurselves

Photo of Amy Agigian, Our Bodies Ourselves executive director, with the quote: “It is wonderful to be finally, fully integrating Our Bodies Ourselves into the Center for Women’s Health & Human Rights at Suffolk. This has been our dream since we started our official collaboration almost five years ago. It will enable Our Bodies Ourselves to reach its highest potential to educate and empower diverse women and gender-expansive people in Boston and all over the world. In this historical moment, it’s needed more than ever.”

Our Bodies Ourselves, First published in 1970, it contains information related to many aspects of women's health and sexuality, including: sexual health, sexual orientation, gender identity, birth control, abortion, pregnancy and childbirth, violence and abuse, and menopause.

The most recent edition of Our Bodies Ourselves was released in 2011. A lot has happened and changed. We need a new edition of this extremely important book! #OurBodiesOurselves #Book #Healthcare #Women #Important #Necessary #Feminism #LGBTQIA+ #Psychology #Safety

I’m honored to be quoted in this new Vox article by Anna North, about the origins and meanings of the latest vile misogynistic slogan. www.vox.com/politics/384...

Texas residents Amanda and Josh Zurawski, who have become powerful surrogates for Harris on the campaign trail, also shared their story. At 18 weeks pregnant, Amanda Zurawski began to suffer complications and needed an abortion. There was no chance the foetus would survive, but doctors refused to terminate the pregnancy until she eventually developed sepsis, days later. "I was finally close enough to death to deserve healthcare in Texas," Amanda Zurawski said.

Todd Ivey, a reproductive health specialist in Houston, addressed the crowd surrounded by a team of doctors and medical professionals in white lab coats. He emphasized the challenges of administering care to patients when it could mean risking arrest. Since the Texas law took effect the state's infant mortality has risen. "This is a healthcare crisis," he said. This is unacceptable and it is cruel."
