Pronatalism, a Conversation with Nandita Bajaj and Michele Goodwin Shoshanna Ehlich interviews Nandita Bajaj and Michele Goodwin about pronatalism.

“This notion among pronatalists that there are certain communities that seem to be dying out: Now, that’s not actually the case… In the United States, you see this as being very much racialized, being packaged in white nationalism.” Read/listen to @michelebgoodwin.bsky.social‘s full analysis.

Prince Andrew's Arrest Across the pond in Britain, justice and accountability is a serious matter

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647.

The President is lying to the public:

1) For the past century, the federal government has been responsible for the Potomac Interceptor – not Maryland. The sewage pipe is on federal land.

Special Episode: Remembering the Late Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Transcript: Michele Goodwin: Welcome to On the Issues with Michele Goodwin at Ms. Magazine, a platform where we report, we rebel, and we tell it just like it is. And on this show, History Matters,

A special tribute in celebration of the life of Reverend Jesse L. Jackson, Sr. May he rest in power. msmagazine.com/podcast/spec...

Yes he was handsome. But give some credit to the meticulous attention his wife Anna Murray Douglass paid to his care, his home, & the presentation of his garments. It was Anna, a free woman who he met in Baltimore, who out of her meager savings gave FD the money for his train ride to escape.

‘A real tragedy’: Woman dies after being denied health care because she was pregnant A pregnant woman who was not seeking an abortion, was denied health care for her heart condition because she was pregnant and doctors did not want to risk harming the pregnancy. She died as a result. Her name was Ciji Graham and Pro Publica journalist Lizzie Presser reported on her story. “I think one of the things that's really disturbing in her medical records is that neither of the cardiologists that Graham saw spoke to her about her pregnancy and the risks of continuing it without getting the heart care that she needed,” she said. “And that silence around pregnancy, and its risks, that's being normalized by these bans is deeply, deeply concerning.” Georgetown law professor Michele Goodwin emphasizes that this is one of many tragedies that have taken place as a result of abortion bans. “We have these reproductive health care deserts throughout the United States, and we see the kind of suffering that's being reported, and then so much more that doesn't end up getting reported, that just simply gets lost in the mix of things,” she said. “And that's the real tragedy.”

“That silence around pregnancy, and its risks, that's being normalized by these [abortion] bans is deeply, deeply concerning,” said Pro Publica reporter Lizzie Presser. @michelebgoodwin.bsky.social adds, “It's really horrific what we see coming out of Dobbs.” #velshi

Faculty Director @michelebgoodwin.bsky.social offers her reflections on 2025:

Listening to the oral arguments of TWO anti-abortion cases at SCOTUS that made our heads explode. Luckily, Georgetown Law Professor Dr. @MicheleBGoodwin.bsky.social put us back together by expertly explaining the punches fake clinics were trying to pull in court to weasel out of ANY oversight.
