Everything You Need to Know About the Texas Abortion Ban

Back in May, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill that would ban abortions after six weeks beginning September 1. It has now officially been made into a law. While the Texas law does offer exceptions for medical emergencies, this ban on abortion includes pregnancies that are the result of incest and/or rape. At a basic level, it might seem like the most extreme part of this law is just how little time a person has to get an abortion, as many don’t know they are even pregnant by six weeks, but t

We All Have Unconscious Bias — Even You

The first time my now-husband Spencer challenged me on (what I thought was) a harmless comment, I was blindsided. The next time he did it, I was annoyed.
