Suppressing birth control information (for girls), scaremongering about masturbation (for boys), it’s the kind of sex ed that Anthony Comstock stood for until his dying day (in 1915)

The ‘pro-life’ movement cannot argue that it cares about people with disabilities when it comes to abortion and then do absolutely nothing to improve the lives of people with disabilities. Read more: reproaction.org/center-disab... #DisabilityJustice
