Hi friends
We've outgrown this 800-pixel wide website and we're moving to new digs.While we pack up our things (i.e. articles and videos and stuff), we're shutting down commenting and new registrations on the current site.
Our new site is up and running at GOOD.is/.
Yours,
GOOD
How the campaign is doing:

...or countries that protect women's rights, including reproductive choice, tend to be more affluent...
...and the phrase "abortion permitted with no restrictions" is very misleading. Most countries, including many states in the US, place significant restrictions on when and how an abortion can be performed. Additionally, unofficial but very real restrictions to access (87% of US counties have no abortion provider, most US women and girls do not have sufficient finances to access abortion within allowed time periods) put this choice well out of the reach of many women and girls.
