Recommended Reading #151: Raising Awareness

“Hospital Mergers Reset Abortion-Access Battle” by Kirk Johnson (Reproductive Rights, Health and Body, Politics) 5/12/13

“Miserable & Magical: A Graduation Speech for Paradoxical Times” by Nipun Mehta (Non-Sex-Related, Self-Awareness, Consciousness, Oneness) 5/27/13

This inner transformation fundamentally shifts the direction of our lives.”
