Since arriving at my parents’ home in Florida a few days ago, I have been bombarded by radio and print advertisements concerning Health Management Associates (HMA), which owns dozens of hospitals across the country. The advertisements attack HMA for basing executive pay solely on profits, “even though HMA has been plagued by multiple government investigations, lawsuits, and scandals.” Sure […]
A new Gallup poll found that the number of Americans describing themselves as “pro-choice” has hit a record low of 41% (compared to 50% who call themselves “pro-life”).

Slate author Hanna Rosin explains her objection to attachment parenting as […]
[Today’s post is written by Stacey Trasancos, originally posted on her blog, “Accepting Abundance.” The article is reposted with permission.] Have you ever listened to the Roe vs. Wade arguments?

I usually don’t respond to Amanda Marcotte’s ridiculous abortion rants, but this time I couldn’t resist. Marcotte lashes out against laws that mandate informed consent for abortion, claiming that such laws are based on a misogynist assumption that women are “too stupid to understand abortion.” In her words: Sadly, however, old-fashioned bigotry trumps common sense […]
