A cheat sheet for philosophers figuring out which essays to teach from Audre Lorde:

How feelings become knowledge (epistemology): "Poetry Is Not a Luxury"

How knowledge becomes action (agency): "Uses of the Erotic"

How action creates change (politics): "Age, Race, Class, & Sex" + "Master's Tools"

NEW: Porsha Ngumezi is the fifth case we've reported on in which a woman died after not receiving a D&C or its second-trimester equivalent in time, or at all.

Her case raises questions about how abortion bans are pressuring doctors to avoid standard care even in straightforward miscarriages.
