Action Alert!  Michigan media outlets quoted AtMP's outrage at news that the state would waive a family's medical bills on the condition that they get married.  The story got national attention, and now the family is suffering from personal attacks as well as state coercion.  Voice your outrage, and speak up for the right to be an unmarried parent!

Congratulations to New York Times columnist Gail Collins for shining a big light on singlism, a term coined by Dr. Bella DePaulo (an AtMP member) to describe the social stigma and legal discrimination facing single people, including Homeland Security Secretary-designate Janet Napolitano. Commenting on the Times column, AtMP executive director Nicky Grist concludes "It is time to recognize that being single is not just a phase, and singlism is not a joke."
