I think young people are recognizing the power of institutions, and we have to really dismantle a lot of the stigma and shame, culturally, but we also have to change things in terms of how government and institutions deal with this.

The national policy of promoting abstinence-only programs is a $1.5 billion failure and teenage girls are paying the real price.

Nearly 100 years ago, when Planned Parenthood was founded, birth control was illegal.

Thanks to President Obama, being a woman will no longer be a pre-existing condition!

So why are we having to fight in 2012 against politicians who want to end access to birth control? It's like we woke up in a bad episode of 'Mad Men'.

I'm just so amazed by people who are willing to share things that, in the past, no one would have ever talked about. Folks in popular culture being willing to take on issues, I think that is such a key part of having a culture shift and an institutional shift.

This year women learned that if we aren't at the table, we're on the menu.
