Mr. President, I thought you were one of the good guys. I thought you respected women, and knew that the power and freedom to make reproductive decisions should be protected and celebrated.

Awesome. As if we aren’t paranoid enough already about getting pregnant, Pfizer recalled over 1 million birth control packets on Tuesday. Hi, stop having sex immediately! Thanks.

Ice Cream Flavors for College Students
Recently Ben & Jerry’s released an ice cream flavor called “Schweddy Balls”, based off a Saturday Night Live sketch. I thought it was hilarious. Parents thought it was awful.

He Said/She Said: The Abortion Issue
Abortion is not something I like to think about all the time. In my mind, if I’m careful enough, it’s not something I really need to worry about.
