POPSBig (but healthy) baby denied health insurance We as a culture have gone completely insane on the issue of obesity. See my recent clips about how research shows obesity has NO EFFECT on longevity. What does? Being fit and active . It doesn't matter if you're shaped like an apple, a pear, or a string bean - get yourself moving!

POPSToddler pretending to breastfeed shocks dozens! When are we going to grow up? Breast feeding is as natural as giving birth. How hard is it to understand that breastfeeding is about nourishing a child, not exhibitionism? We're still hung up on this? Really?

POPS"Hey Facebook, breast feeding is not obscene". though i do not understand why woman would like to publish photos of them breastfeeding, i most certainly do not agree a dumb to the letter policy that facebook is following. The web should stay open for different ways of expression even if some does not fully fall under ones description of tastefulness

POPSGood job making that baby By Maggie Mason from MightyGirl. BNM says: With the latest crop of celebrity babies, the magazine covers are loaded with "how I lost the baby weight" stories. The outright disdain and loathing that Hollywood has for body fat is sad. You can't even create an entire human being without someone curling their lip at your glorious birthing hips, your nourishing thighs, your comforting breasts, your full joyful face. My body is more than my size. My body is amazing.

POPSMaternity Leave for Students Thankfully Colorado rejected federal "abstinence only" money. I've worked with populations where teenage motherhood is endemic, and I was constantly struck by how many of the girls and women never graduated high school. When education is not seen as important, the next generation follows suit, and the next thing you know, you're a grandmother at 30. It is imperative that all of our kids, and especially our most vulnerable kids, get comprehensive sex ed, have access to safe and accesible abortion, and support if they do get pregnant and give birth to make sure they graduate high school and can go on to college. In this way cycles are broken.
