Planned Parenthood is excited to be launching our new Tumblr that’s all about sexual and reproductive health – bodies, birth control, relationship issues, “is it normal for this to do this?” type things. In the coming weeks and months we’ll be sharing what we know, answering questions, and just… tumblring. 

We hope you like it! And we hope it helps.

Welcome to the neighborhood!

I love that the Barack Obama tumblr reblogged this.

"Social media brought me here. Tumblr brought me here."

Tina and Angie chatting it up at the Women in the World summit at New York’s Lincoln Center, following a panel between Madeleine Albright and Charlie Rose.

Favorite (of many) quotes from the Charlie/Madeleine panel, about the price of war:

Charlie: “But Madeleine: Why aren’t there more women in power?”

Madeleine (who is sassy and amazing): “Men!”

Q: Why do you like to wear a bikini?

A: Husbands are scarce. You know of a better way for me to beat the   competition?

Newsweek July 22, 1963

Did this appear in the issue featuring the great debate over Mini v. Midi-skirts?  

"All of us have stories of being told, outright, ‘We don’t hire women’ or ‘We have our woman.’"

And the gap widens as men and women climb educational ranks. In short, education is valuable, but it’s most lucrative if you’re male.
