    Medicaid, SNAP, Medicare, and the Big Beautiful Bill
    Jun 20 2025
    Medicaid, SNAP, and Medicare are some of our largest domestic benefits programs. Eligibility is not gender-specific. Yet someone they affect women differently. We don't know whether or not these programs will be changed in the final version of the Big Beautiful Bill, but we do know who uses them and why. Get your facts here.

    Embryos, Petri Dishes, IVF
    Jun 17 2025
    As part of our continuing series on 'when life begins - the surprising history of conception' we talk with Professor Emeritus Elizabeth Spahn about the surprising history of the scientific understanding of conception - when life begins. And, spoiler alert, how we all get started is not what we were taught in high school biology class. There is so much political talk about women having babies these days - whether they have too many or not enough - that is seemed essential to see how our society came to the current understandings. Plus..... there's a nightclub involved. Elizabeth Spahn: law review article State Bans on Abortion Throughout Pregnancy | Guttmacher Institute

    What's in a name? The SAVE Act
    May 19 2025

    85% of all American women change their names at the time of marriage. If passed, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act could disenfranchise these women because their current legal name does not match the name on their birth certificate. How could this be? Why would we want to do this? Note: the SAVE act has passed the US house and is moving to the Senate, so keep your eye on this one.
