Ten Women\u2019s Health Heroes Who Inspired Us In 2013<\/a><\/h1>\n

BY\u00a0TARA CULP-RESSLER<\/a>\"\"<\/a> ON\u00a0DECEMBER 19, 2013 AT 10:00 AM<\/p>\n

This past year included an overwhelming number of\u00a0attacks<\/a>\u00a0on reproductive health and freedom, including some of the\u00a0harshest abortion bans<\/a>\u00a0this country has seen since\u00a0Roe v. Wade<\/em>. However \u2014 despite the persistent attempts to silence, shame, and police women and their bodies \u2014 there is one positive benefit resulting from the ongoing\u00a0War on Women<\/a>. It gave rise to several champions who didn\u2019t back down from fighting for the issues that matter. Here are ten people who inspired us in 2013:<\/p>\n

Lucy Flores<\/h3>\n

In April, Nevada Assemblywoman Lucy Flores (D) took to the floor to advocate for overhauling her state\u2019s abstinence-only education policy. In order to explain her support for the issue, Flores\u00a0shared her own personal story<\/a>\u00a0of receiving inadequate sex ed as a teen. Flores explained she accidentally got pregnant when she was 16 years old and decided to have an abortion. She said she didn\u2019t regret her choice, but she did want other young women in Nevada to be more educated about how to prevent pregnancy. \u201cWe prevent this by giving them the information and the resources that they need, so they don\u2019t have to go to their dad and say, \u2018I need $200 for an abortion,\u2019 \u201d Flores\u00a0noted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the\u00a0shame and stigma<\/a>\u00a0that surrounds abortion, it\u2019s still rare for public figures to talk openly about their decision to end a pregnancy, and Flores\u2019 decision to share her story was very brave. The lawmaker received hate mail and death threats \u2014 as well as an outpouring of support from women\u2019s health advocates, who rallied behind her with the #FierceFlores<\/a>\u00a0hashtag.<\/p>\n

The Nevada legislature ended up\u00a0approving the comprehensive sex ed legislation<\/a>, and Flores is reportedly\u00a0considering a run<\/a>\u00a0for Lieutenant Governor.<\/p>\n

Daisy Coleman<\/h3>\n

In October, the Kansas City Star published a\u00a0remarkable investigative piece<\/a>\u00a0about a sexual assault case in Maryville, MO involving a high school football player and a young victim \u2014 one that bore some striking resemblances to the infamous\u00a0rape case in Steubenville<\/a>. But there was one notable difference. Although victims of sexual assault typically remain anonymous in the media, the Maryville victim, Daisy Coleman, wanted to share her story publicly. She allowed the Kansas City Star to use her real name, and later appeared on CNN with her mother to recount the details surrounding her sexual assault.<\/p>\n

Thanks to a pervasive\u00a0rape culture<\/a>\u00a0that tends to place the blame for sexual assault squarely on the shoulders of the victim, the individuals who speak up about being raped are typicallyharassed and shamed<\/a>. Coleman experienced that, too \u2014 even before she started talking to the media, she was bullied and ultimately\u00a0driven out of her small town<\/a>. But she refused to be silenced.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince this happened, I\u2019ve been in hospitals too many times to count. I\u2019ve found it impossible to love at times. I\u2019ve gained and lost friends. I no longer dance or compete in pageants. I\u2019m different now, and I can\u2019t ever go back to the person I once was,\u201d Coleman, who was just 14 at the time of her assault,\u00a0wrote in a powerful op-ed<\/a>\u00a0in October. \u201cThat one night took it all away from me. I\u2019m nothing more than just human, but I also refuse to be a victim of cruelty any longer. This is why I am saying my name. This is why I am not shutting up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rev. William Barber<\/h3>\n

Rev. William J. Barber II, the president of the NAACP in North Carolina, spearheaded thebiggest progressive protests<\/a>\u00a0of the past year. Barber partnered with other clergy, progressive activists, and grassroots leaders to lead thousands of people in weekly \u201cMoral Monday<\/a>\u201d rallies against North Carolina\u2019s far-right legislature. They demanded economic and racial justice, access to health care and education, and voting rights. And they rallied againstproposed abortion restrictions<\/a>\u00a0in the state, pointing out that lawmakers were wasting their time attacking women\u2019s health while leaving important policy priorities undone.<\/p>\n

In July, dozens of women\u2019s health activists \u2014 including the\u00a0president<\/a>\u00a0of the Planned Parenthood affiliate in North Carolina \u2014\u00a0got arrested<\/a>\u00a0in an act of civil disobedience against a proposed abortion bill at a Moral Monday protest. At that time, those activists brought the total number of activists arrested for protesting the state\u2019s GOP-controlled legislature up tomore than 700<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we started Moral Mondays and the first group went to jail, the women were at the front line,\u201d Barber\u00a0explained in an interview<\/a>\u00a0over the summer. \u201cThe sisters are here, the sisters have been here and the sisters are here to stay.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wendy Davis<\/h3>\n
\"wendyCREDIT: AP PHOTO\/LM OTERO<\/div>\n

State Rep. Wendy Davis (D-TX) rose to national prominence after working to defeat a stringent package of abortion restrictions in the Texas legislature. Davis\u00a0filibustered the legislation<\/a>\u00a0for over 11 hours without sitting down, taking a drink of water, leaving to go to the bathroom, or straying off topic. Thousands of people from across the country tuned in to watch, and spread messages of support under the #StandWithWendy<\/a>\u00a0hashtag. The pink sneakers she wore that night on the floor have\u00a0become iconic<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Davis certainly did not work alone \u2014 her efforts were supported by\u00a0thousands of pro-choice activists<\/a>\u00a0who protested at the capitol for weeks, and ultimately helped delay the legislation with a \u201cpeople\u2019s filibuster<\/a>\u201d \u2014 but she did become the nationally-recognized face of the backlash against Texas\u2019 harsh bill. Thanks in no small part to the momentum that began with her filibuster this summer, Davis is\u00a0currently running for governor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sarah Slamen<\/h3>\n
\"sarahCREDIT: MSNBC<\/div>\n

Sarah Slamen was one of the thousands of Texas who rallied at the capitol this summer with Wendy Davis. During a hearing on the anti-abortion legislation in the middle of July, Slamendelivered an impassioned speech<\/a>\u00a0against the measure. \u201cThank you for every hateful statement degrading women and girls to sex objects, and brood mares, and bald eagles, and leather wallets, like your eloquent pro-life supporters have done today. Thank you for being you, Texas legislature,\u201d Slamen told the Republican lawmakers in the room. \u201cYou have radicalized hundreds of thousands of us.\u201d<\/p>\n

State troopers removed Slamen from the room while she was in the middle of speaking \u2014 a silencing tactic that ultimately backfired, since her testimony went viral. Later that month, she\u00a0appeared on MSNBC<\/a>\u00a0to deliver the rest of her speech that got cut off.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m privileged as a white woman from a middle-class background to be able to have attended all of those hearings,\u201d Slamen\u00a0pointed out<\/a>\u00a0during her TV appearance. \u201cWomen with two and three jobs, the 20 percent of women who might be living in the rural communities of Texas who can\u2019t get to the capitol, caregivers, they can\u2019t get to the hearings and stand up for their rights, and it\u2019s obvious that all the Republicans on that committee don\u2019t care about the right to their health care either. So someone had to say something.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gwen Moore<\/h3>\n
\"gwenCREDIT: AP PHOTO\/J. SCOTT APPLEWHITE<\/div>\n

Rep. Gwen Moore (D-WI) has been a longstanding\u00a0champion<\/a>\u00a0of reproductive freedom during her time in office, and made national headlines last year for\u00a0disclosing the details of her own sexual assault<\/a>\u00a0while advocating for the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). She\u2019s also repeatedly blasted anti-choice activists for\u00a0attempting to use race as a wedge<\/a>\u00a0in the abortion debate.<\/p>\n

This year, Moore has continued to\u00a0sponsor legislation<\/a>\u00a0to advance women\u2019s health, and she\u2019s had no patience for opponents of reproductive health and autonomy. After the House of Representatives passed a national\u00a020-week abortion ban<\/a>\u00a0in June, Moore\u00a0took to the floor<\/a>\u00a0to slam the right-wing talking points on the scientifically-disputed notion of\u00a0fetal pain<\/a>. \u201cThis bill is an abomination! Plain and simple, at its foundation, at its heart, is utter disrespect for the dignity and health of women,\u201d she\u00a0said<\/a>. \u201cNow we have a bill that is born of ignorance and disregard for medical science in every way, shape, and form \u2014 no concern for the biology, physiology, sociology of the woman.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moore has also sharply criticized the craft chain Hobby Lobby for filing a lawsuit against Obamacare\u2019s birth control mandate, a case that\u2019s making its way to the Supreme Court. \u201cI am very confident that the Supreme Court will rule on the side of women\u2026 I mean, enough already,\u201d she\u00a0said last month<\/a>. \u201cWomen\u2019s health is not some arts and craft project.\u201d<\/p>\n

Katelyn Campbell<\/h3>\n
\"katelynnCREDIT: ABC NEWS<\/div>\n

After her public school hosted a mandatory abstinence education assembly \u2014 during which a\u00a0conservative speaker<\/a>\u00a0allegedly told students \u201cif you take birth control, your mother probably hates you\u201d and \u201cI could look at any one of you in the eyes right now and tell if you\u2019re going to be promiscuous\u201d \u2014 Katelyn Campbell stepped up to say something. The West Virginia teen believed that religious-based, slut-shaming assemblies didn\u2019t belong in her public school, so she filed a complaint with the ACLU. Even after Campbell\u2019s principal threatened her, she\u00a0refused to back down<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Campbell\u2019s activism\u00a0inspired people across the country<\/a>. Strangers started petitions in her honor, students advocated at board meetings on her behalf, and Wellesley College \u2014 where Campbell had already been accepted \u2014 issued public statements of support. \u201cI feel like I\u2019ve been given an opportunity here to make a change,\u201d Campbell\u00a0explained to ThinkProgress<\/a>\u00a0in April. \u201cNo one should have to feel alone or afraid of repercussions for doing the right thing. If I was able to succeed in the socially conservative state of West Virginia, then anyone can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Campbell is currently taking classes at Wellesley, and continues to advocate for better reproductive health policies in her home state. She recently\u00a0spoke out against<\/a>\u00a0imposing harsh restrictions on West Virginia\u2019s abortion clinics.<\/p>\n

Tamesha Means<\/h3>\n

Tamesha Means is taking on one of the most powerful institutions in the world \u2014 the Catholic Church. With the help of the ACLU, Means is\u00a0suing the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops<\/a>\u00a0for failing to provide adequate reproductive health services in its religious hospitals. It\u2019s a first-of-its-kind lawsuit, going straight after the Bishops for the consequences of their anti-abortion policies rather than suing an individual hospital for negligence.<\/p>\n

Means\u2019 water\u00a0broke<\/a>\u00a0when she was 18 weeks pregnant, and she was rushed to the closest hospital for emergency care. But, since that hospital is Catholic-affiliated, it didn\u2019t tell Means that abortion was an option to end her doomed pregnancy. She was repeatedly told there was nothing that doctors could do, and was sent away several times in pain. Eventually, she developed an infection, and finally delivered a premature child that died within hours of birth.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was in terrible pain,\u201d Means explained in a\u00a0recent interview<\/a>\u00a0with the Washington Post. \u201cI was tired. I was frustrated. I still had no answers as to why they did nothing to help me, why they didn\u2019t go ahead and induce my labor when they knew my baby wasn\u2019t going to make it. They left me in pain for those days.\u201d Depending on the\u00a0outcome<\/a>\u00a0of her legal challenge, she could help spare other women from undergoing similar painful experiences.<\/p>\n

Julie Burkhart<\/h3>\n
\"julieCREDIT: AP PHOTO\/CHARLIE RIEDEL<\/div>\n

In April, Julie Burkhart\u00a0re-opened the clinic<\/a>\u00a0that used to house Dr. George Tiller\u2019s former practice. Thanks to Burkhart, the women who live in Wichita have access to abortion services for the first time since Tiller was gunned down in 2009. It hasn\u2019t been an easy road, though, as anti-choice activists have done\u00a0everything in their power<\/a>\u00a0to prevent the new clinic from opening to the public. Burkhart has been subject to personal harassment; protesters have picketed outside her home and distributed flyers referring to her as a \u201ckiller.\u201d In April, an anti-choice activist was even caught on tape suggesting that it would a \u201cblessing to the babies<\/a>\u201d if Burkhart was shot, just like her predecessor.<\/p>\n

Burkhart ended up\u00a0tightening the security<\/a>\u00a0at her clinic. But she\u2019s stood firm, repeatedly speaking out about Wichita women\u2019s right to accessible reproductive care.<\/p>\n

\u201cA year and a half after we lost Dr. Tiller, we were really able to say, \u2018Okay, this is going to be hard, this is going to be challenging \u2014 probably the biggest challenge of our lives \u2014 but we\u2019re going to get this done,\u2019 \u201d Burkhart\u00a0told Mother Jones in February<\/a>. \u201cHere we live in a pretty good-sized city, Wichita, with a metropolitan area of around 650,000 people. It\u2019s like really, come on. We\u2019re a town that used to have three abortion clinics. Shouldn\u2019t we be able to have at least one ob-gyn practice that offers abortion care? We realized we just needed to pick up the torch and do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doug Cox<\/h3>\n
\"dougCREDIT: AP PHOTO<\/div>\n

As a male Republican legislator from a red state that\u2019s\u00a0particularly hostile<\/a>\u00a0to women\u2019s health, Rep. Doug Cox (R-OK) may seem like a strange addition to this list. But Cox, who is a practicing physician, has done his part to stand up against persistent attacks on reproductive freedom. In May, Cox\u00a0published an op-ed<\/a>\u00a0sharply criticizing his colleagues for pushing so many abortion restrictions that intrude women\u2019s private lives. \u201cWhat happened to the Republican Party that I joined? The party where conservative presidential candidate Barry Goldwater felt women should have the right to control their own destiny?\u201d Cox lamented. \u201cWhat happened to the Republican Party that felt that the government has no business being in an exam room, standing between me and my patient?\u201d<\/p>\n

The GOP lawmaker isn\u2019t afraid to speak out against proposed abortion restrictions in Oklahoma \u2014 pointing out that abortion is already a safe medical procedure, and additional legislation to make it more inaccessible will ultimately force women to seek out illegal alternatives. \u201cWe keep passing stuff like this, they\u2019ll be done in back alleys with coat hangers, people,\u201d he\u00a0pointed out<\/a>\u00a0in February.<\/p>\n

Cox was the recipient of Planned Parenthood\u2019s\u00a0Barry Goldwater Award<\/a>\u00a0this year, an annual recognition of an outstanding public official in the Republican Party who has demonstrated a commitment to women\u2019s health issues. The national organization pointed out that Cox has argued against more than 160 anti-choice measures during his time in the state house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
