What's so sexy about September 23? On this day, in Homer, Ohio, Victoria Woodhull was born. This powerful Libra would become a fierce advocate for free love, women's rights and equality, and inspire the founding of our organization 76 years after her death. That (and an official proclamation from Washington, DC) is why we celebrate S*xual Freedom Day on September 23.

Victoria stood up and spoke out to earn the rights we enjoy today, laying the groundwork for us, so that we could take sexual freedom further than she ever dreamed.

Victoria Woodhull did the unthinkable for a woman of her time.:
🎂She ran for President in 1872, decades before women even had the right to vote.
🎂 She stood in front of crowds and declared that women deserved equality, autonomy, and freedom over their own bodies.
🎂 She championed sexual freedom when speaking the truth could destroy you.

We channel Victoria's spirit every day at Woodhull. She's with us when we testify in state houses, send letters to lawmakers, and educate the public about sexual freedom and human rights.

How will you channel Victoria's spirit on S*xual Freedom Day?

After the Dobbs decision, pregnancy-related medical events—including miscarriages, self-managed abortions, substance use during pregnancy, and stillbirths—are increasingly investigated as potential crimes, often driven by expanded fetal personhood laws and repurposed criminal statutes.These investigations can turn medical encounters into evidence, erode patient trust, and deter people from seeking care. The episode examines how legal changes, reporting practices, and privacy limits affect patients, clinicians, and public health, and argues for prioritizing care, treatment, and supports over surveillance and punishment.

Seven women once reported missing are now linked to a Philadelphia residence at 417 West Chew Avenue following the 2026 arrest of Eugene Horsch; investigators recovered an enormous archive of images and materials, but no bodies have been recovered and no homicide charges have been filed.The episode examines the human toll and systemic failures that allowed these disappearances to go insufficiently investigated for years—highlighting how stigma, criminalization, and institutional indifference can make some lives less visible and urgent in the eyes of authorities.

Kate Cox learned that her fetus had trisomy 18 and sought an abortion after experiencing serious pregnancy complications. Amanda Zurawski's water broke at 18 weeks, but she testified that physicians waited until she developed life-threatening sepsis before intervening. Their cases eventually became part of the litigation over Texas's medical exceptions. The Texas Supreme Court ultimately held that the state's law permits abortion when, in a physician's reasonable medical judgment, a life-threatening condition creates the requisite risk - but rejected the broader injunction sought by the plaintiffs.
The question becomes bigger than "Is abortion legal?"
What happens when doctors believe they may have to defend an emergency medical decision to prosecutors afterward?
