1) Stories: Do you have experiences with abortion, adoption, or a relevant story about parenting? Do you have a story about Planned Parenthood or a health clinic that helped you? Did you have a negative experience with a crisis pregnancy center? Is there a relevant story available online that you want me to post or look at? Are you a fellow trans* person who has an experience to share in regards to abortion or feeling erased in the repro rights/feminism community [I’d love some of these, I haven’t really had much luck finding any!] Do you have a story about an illegal abortion? Or a story about reproductive coercion and birth control sabotage? Are you a doctor, nurse, or med student with a story about reproductive health? Are you an abortion provider, or training to be one? I think personal accounts help counter the fetus focus fallacy so many antis concentrate on, and give a voice to the abstract notion of reproductive rights.
2) Cartoons, prochoice memes, sarcastic stuff.
3) New studies, reports, research, statistics, etc. Can be news articles talking about them or abstracts/pdfs of the study itself.
4) Political news or updates, new legislation being proposed, new abortion/reproductive health restrictions. Charts, graphs, maps, etc.
5) Also resources like abortion funds, helpful information, free coupons for Plan B or other products, petitions, charities, etc.
6) This is unequivocally a prochoice blog, so if you submit antichoice propaganda I will either delete it or debunk it if I have time. If you are prochoice and want me to debunk antichoice propaganda for you, make sure to leave a note with the submission.
7) My view of prochoice is holistic in the sense that it should encompass more than abortion. Abortion is the right under constant attack so I understand why that tends to be the focus, but all of the following topics are welcome here (not exhaustive):
abortion, adoption (choosing adoption or being adopted), adoption reform, parenting, childbirth choices (home birth, VBACs, choosing c-section, forced c-section, midwives, etc), family planning, comprehensive sex education, reproductive rights globally, forced sterilization, the right for young child free people to be sterilized, historical documents relating to reproductive rights, the history of abortion/pregnancy/medicine, feminism, consent/rape/rape culture, trans* issues, GSM issues, race/class/gender issues, making the prochoice movement more inclusive, exposing CPCs, antichoice violence and propaganda, reproductive coercion and birth control sabotage, conscience clauses, reproductive rights being muddled with religion, and doulas (for pregnancy or abortion).
