The Affordable Care Act otherwise known as "Obamacare" was upheld today in the United States Supreme Court. Chief Justice John Roberts was the majority vote but no hell hasn't frozen over.
Of course, some concerns still remain- especially for low income women. Head over to Womens E News for more on that story.

Remember the Ladies
I had been working on a post about the Michigan "Vagina Incident" in which a state senator was barred from speaking the rest of the day after referencing her vagina. I'm not going to finish that post- at least not right now.
Today I will bring you a smorgasbord of reports on various issues and you can pick and choose what you're interested in.
First I bring you an update on Sandra Fluke- Yup, shes the one deemed a "slut" and a "prostitute" by beloved cultural commentator Rush Limbaugh. He also said that if Ms. Fluke wanted "us" to pay for her birth control then she should post videos so that "we" could watch. Charming man.
So what is Sandra Flukeup to these days after spiraling into the spotlight?
I mentioned earlier in the month that Anita Sarkeesian (of Feminist Frequency)was wrapping up a kick ass first time kickstarter project on the portrayal of women in video games. So how did it work out in the end? Just the beginning!
The Third (you gotta start somewhere) Annual Forbes Top 100 Websites For Women is out and it's pretty interesting. See the blogs out there that cater to the every women- the mom, the career minded, the athletes and,of course - the feminists.

Feminist Frequency
Anita Sarkeesian, founder of the Feminist Frequency is wrapping up her Kickstarter campaign to raise funds for a video series on the representation of women in the Gaming World.
Anita's website kicks ass for a variety of reasons but the thing I love the most is how she is able to discuss pop culture issues in an intelligent, well thought out and fully informed manner. She doesn't talk down to anyone and will touch on many sides of an issue without wandering from her original point. She is a great role model to young women and a brilliant representation of Feminism.
So head over to her Kickstarter campaign or if it's too late for that go ahead and bookmark her website asap.

Suicide
