Tubal Ligations Post Roe v Wade

Tubal ligations and permanent contraception, such as vasectomies, increased sharply in the US following the June 2022 Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe V Wade. Studies show that 70% to 100% surge in tubal ligation procedures among younger adults, particularly in states with abortion restrictions. 

Most of the requests come from states that have banned abortion or made abortion unattainable, with a short window for learning of pregnancy. The increase is most notable for childless women under the age of 30. Some doctors refuse to perform a tubal ligation on single woman citing that their future husband may want children or they're too young!

    I was not aware of this statistic and I find this very interesting. I find it mind blowing that their are doctors who are refusing this procedure because of what could happen. Not only are they assuming what may happen in the future, they are assuming what a MAN would want in the future. So doctors are now refusing procedures for women due to a made up reason that has to do with a man.

A Heated Rivalry or Wicked Misogyny?

Image
 As someone who may hold bias to the extent that I refuse to watch Heated Rivalry, I think it's important to state that I've seen a couple of episodes, and the show just isn't for me. I've also watched both the Wicked movies starring Cynthia Erivo and Arianna Grande. Now you are probably wondering what these two media films have in common. Well, nothing to be exact, and I think that's the preface we must state first.  This isn't about the series/movies, it's about the co-stars, but first, here's a little context you may need to understand where I am coming from. Arianna Grande plays in the musical adaptation of Wicked and Wicked for Good, directed by Jon M. Chu. She takes on the role of playing Galina (Galinda the Good), she is a very privileged and self-absorbed young woman who attends Shiz University and ends up facing an internal battle of being for the people or wanting her personal desire to keep her bond with Elphaba. Elphaba Thropp (The Wicked Wit...

Intro/Post-Grad Plans!

Hi everyone, My name is Emily Webb, and I’m from Frederick, Maryland. I am a senior majoring in Digital Culture & Design with a double minor in Graphic Design and Social Media. I am currently finishing up my applications for Master of Arts in Teaching (MAT) programs in Technology Education or Art Education. My goal is to become a secondary teacher for digital arts courses. I am excited about combining my love for digital media with teaching and helping students develop both creative and technical skills. Outside of school, I enjoy crafting with my Cricut. I love designing projects and bringing them to life by pressing my designs onto clothes and other items. Creating something tangible from a digital idea is really rewarding. I’m looking forward to connecting with all of you, sharing ideas, and learning from your experiences this semester!  If you’re a senior, what are your post-grad plans (I know, the dreaded question), and if you’re not, what are you hoping to do after gradua...
