So welcome to our blog! We'll have multiple bloggers blogging about their bloggish interests, so get ready for a bloggerama.
I am a junior health science major at Truman with a focus on community and public health programs (i.e., sex ed). Coming to a conservative school, I was disheartened by the lack of pro-choice movements until I found Vox, a vehicle in which I could hand out free condoms galore and watch facial expressions of (and therefore judge) people walking by our table full of sexual health information. And hooee, now that we have a blog, just watch out world; you're gonna get pro-choiced from all sides.
Just to remind ourselves how much we need factual sex education, check out this Missouri government recommendation from 2006.

And a grassroots network was born...
Yo! I must admit this is pretty exciting stuff. We, Students for Reproductive Choice, are officially a part of the cyberspace grassroots network, blogging our way closer to reproductive freedom and choice.
Students for Reproductive Choice formed fortuitously as an offshoot of Truman State University's VOX: Voices for Planned Parenthood group. In VOX, we focus on promotion of good reproductive health habits. We sponsored a Gardasil night at our Tri-Rivers Planned Parenthood clinic in Kirksville, Missouri, we hand out "health packs" on campus, and in the past have held VOX talks on issues such as women in the media.
Students for Reproductive Choice was born after a desire to adopt a more political voice for choice, something that we could not do as VOX. We figured a good way to do this was to jump on the blogging bandwagon and start doing some work on the internet.
Keep in mind we are in the early phases of our blogging project but we hope to bring you a variety of Truman State University pro-choice voices speaking on a diverse range of reproductive health topics in the near future. Stay tuned and thanks for reading!
