Links We Love: Monday Edition | The Feronia Project

Good morning, Feronians! This morning, we’re sharing our links we found this weekend that you might have missed.

Good news from Mississippi: many counties are switching from an abstinence-only sex education curriculum to an abstinence-plus sex education curriculum – which includes discussion of contraception.
A good round-up from Glamour of what the Affordable Care Act means for women.
Continuing on the Affordable Care Act, a great round-up from LearnVest about how much you might save financially on the new Affordable Care Act provisions.
Interesting story from Jezebel on the rise of ambivalence in having children…but the real question: is there really such a thing as ambivalence in having children?
And you may not have missed this one, but there’s a controversy brewing in New York: formula will be under lock-and-key in New York City starting next month in order to promote breastfeeding. It is raising some eyebrows, as one might imagine. (And expect a post about it on the Feronia Project very soon!)

Comment Policy

All comments are moderated by The Feronia Project before they are posted. By registering with our site you agree to keep your comments within our posting guidelines. Ultimately all comments are approved at the discretion of the moderators at The Feronia Project. We’ve borrowed the six guiding principles below from Greenpeace because they really got it right (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right?)

1. The Feronia Project welcomes all users to join our community and to comment and treats all members of the community equally.

2. We want The Feronia Project to be home to open, transparent conversations in which people connect, discuss, share ideas, and debate the issues. Site your source if you are contradicting a statement made by the author.

3. We are also committed to maintaining a non-toxic atmosphere. We do not allow profanity, hate speech, nor do we allow speech that advocates or supports hatred or unlawful violence. Likewise, threats of violence or threats to anyone or any group's personal safety are not acceptable. We also do not allow false claims or misleading implications that any individual or group perpetuates hate or unlawful violence.

4. In order to preserve a functional and civil conversation, we do not allow trolls, trollish behavior, or stalking. We do not allow speech that is solely intended to provoke other users, to cause disorder or confusion, or to inhibit regular, on-topic conversation. In this area especially, we defer to the flags left by our users in the context of our growing community reputation system.

5. Be respectful of the blog author and community members by staying on topic with your comments.

6. Members of The Feronia Project deserve to be free from spam, and we do not allow posting the same comment multiple times within one thread or on multiple threads. We also flag and delete all comments containing business solicitations or other advertising of personal interests, blogs, or websites.
