New Web site ranks states on reproductive, sexual rights

New York and New Mexico rank first [or worst]; Ohio and South Dakota tie for last [or best]


Iowa ranks 19, Minnesota ranks 29, Wisconsin ranks 31, Nebraska ranks 43 and North Dakota ranks 48

Mapping Our Rights: Navigating Discrimination Against Women, Men and Families” was launched at a May 31 press conference (listen here) at the Center for American Progress in Washington, D.C.

Complete with state-by-state rankings, “Mapping Our Rights” is an ideal tool for monitoring state policies. A resource that will help activists, journalists and researchers, it’s also for individuals who wants to know how their states — or a state they may relocate to — govern their bodies and relationships.

The site is a unique collaboration between Ipas, an international reproductive health and rights organization; the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force; and the SisterSong Women of Color Reproductive Health Collective. [snip]

Remember that this article favors unrestricted abortions and homosexual marriages when you read what they have to say.
