Saturday Link Love: Domestic Violence, Baby Hope, and Bad Girls

Saturday Link Love is a feature where I collect and post links to various articles I’ve come upon over the past week. Feel free to share any interesting articles you’ve come along as well! The more the merrier.

Rob Porter’s History of Domestic Abuse Wasn’t a Secret. It’s Just That No One Cared. on Slate–“The cops, the FBI, and the White House chief of staff all knew, and he still continued to rise through the ranks of our government’s highest office.”

Baby Hope’s Birth Mother Has a Name, on New York Times—“Think of the posters often brandished at anti-abortion marches and rallies, with the image of a fetus in utero, floating free, like an astronaut, with the umbilical cord, untethered, trailing off into the darkness.”

Someone edited Ram’s Martin Luther King commercial with what King actually said about car ads, on Vox—“Over the years, people have been taught and remembered King’s words of peaceful protest, unity, and service. But they by and large have forgotten more controversial aspects of his political protest — particularly his message about economic justice and the destructiveness of poverty.”

Study: “Bad Girls” More Likely to Say “No” to Sex, on Skepchick—“Women with sexual agency were much more likely to say “no” instead of going along with an undesired activity just to please their partner.”
