In The ‘War Against Sex,’ Hugh Hefner Is On Our Side

In the May issue of Playboy, Hugh Hefner has penned a full-page editorial criticizing the conservative “war against sex.” It’s the second time this month we’ve been reminded that support for reproductive rights and support for treating women as fully equal and autonomous human beings doesn’t always go hand in hand.
