It dispels the common idea that abortion and contraceptive rights began with 20th-century feminism. Using beautifully designed postcards featuring facts about historic forms of contraception and abortion, the campaign is both supporting women's health clinics across the country and educating people of all generations. What did the ancient Egyptians do for birth control? Why did abortion become common and accepted among middle-class New Yorkers in the mid-1800s? What herbs were used to carefully induce abortion in Europe during the Crusades? For examples of the colorful postcards, interesting historical timelines, and more, see www.4000yearsforchoice.com Dr. Milton Diamond, Sexual Scientist Milton Diamond is a professor of biology and Director of the Pacific Center for Sex and Society at the University of Hawaii Medical School. During his half-century long career, Dr. Diamond has pioneered research in a variety of sexual fields, including sexual orientation, studies of twins, fetishes, and pornography. Dr. Diamond consults with governments across the globe, including places as diverse as Cuba, Gaza, Mongolia, and Japan. Later this year he's even speaking at Tennessee State University. Dr. Diamond is arguably the world's expert on the effects of pornography on various societies. For decades, he has been publishing data showing that in country after country, when the availability of pornography increases, the rates of sexual violence and childhood sexual exploitation decrease.

Dr. Paul Joannides, Psychoanalyst and Author A confession: I had trouble taking Dr. Joannides' masterpiece seriously for a long time because of its title: "The Guide to Getting It On." Then I had trouble taking it seriously because it was so wildly popular among college students. My prejudice was confirmed when Oprah Magazine called it "warm, friendly, liberating, thorough, and potentially sex-life-changing." Then I checked it out more carefully. And I listened to what serious people said about it. Oh, now I get it: It's really wonderful. Friendly, easy to use, and amazingly comprehensive. No wonder it's in its 6th edition.
