Government Removes Women's Health Information
It appears that accurate women's health information on government sites has been quietly disappearing (via feministing.com).
My first reaction was to write a post about my outrage and disappointment at this news. But you know what, never mind that. Why waste time and energy stating the obvious. Instead, I can do something more constructive--post a list of useful sites with women's health information. As it happens, I'm compiling just such a list for my book, so I have a ton of good links:
Professional Medical Associations
American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG)
Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG)
American Medical Women's Association (AMWA)
Association of Reproductive Health Professionals (ARHP)
Faculty of Family Planning & Reproductive Health Care
National Association of Nurse Practitioners in Women's Health (NPWH)
American Academy of Family Physicians
American College of Physicians - Internal Medicine - Doctors for Adults
American Psychiatric Association
American Medical Association Home Page (AMA)
The National Medical Association
Non-Governmental Organizations
Planned Parenthood Federation of America
International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF)
Marie Stopes International
The Alan Guttmacher Institute
National Women's Health Resource Center (NWHRC)
Black Women's Health Imperative
The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation
So, there you have it. Some useful links, and I'll post more soon. If this type of data will no longer be available on government sites, no problem. It will be available here!
