So someone somewhere in cyberspace was musing about an urban legend in which a girlfriend stole her boyfriend’s sperm without his knowledge and then sued him for child support. And then someone2 laughed it off, saying you can’t take a man’s sperm without his knowledge. Seems pretty reasonable, doesn’t it? But I’ve actually read about […]
Earlier this week my history class discussed the modern feminist movement. From my lecture notes: “In 1970 NOW launched major action: Women’s Strike For Equality. This was across the US and the demands were equal pay for equal work, universal child care and the legalization of abortion. ‘We are the 51% minority.’ Even this moderate agenda was polarizing. Counter protest: men […]
China has announced a plan to modify its one-child policy by 2015, allowing families to give birth to two children. Pro-lifers have long criticized the one-child policy as a violation of human rights. Pro-life leaders are rightfully skeptical that a two-child policy will be much better. Steven Mosher of the Population Research Institute, a Catholic […]
UPDATE: The language has already been changed. ORIGINAL POST: The No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, a recent proposal that has not yet been passed, contains the usual exceptions for rape, incest, and the mother’s life. But unlike earlier legislation like the Hyde Amendment, it uses the phrase “forcible rape.” This has concerned pro- and […]
I’ve been traveling, so my post has nothing to do with sidewalk counseling. Instead, this article from the Herald Sun is about an Australian couple who aborted their twins boys, conceived through IVF, because they wanted a daughter.

Does taking away options infer hostility or, at best, indifference towards […]
[This is the second post in a series on the pro-life movement and misogyny. Additional posts can be found here: Logical Reasoning and Misogyny Control and Misogyny] An analogy: A fatal disease is spreading among a population. An ointment is being developed that will likely cure the disease, but every few ounces of the ointment […]
[This is the first post in a series on the pro-life movement and misogyny. Additional posts can be found here: Bunnies and Misogyny Control and Misogyny] So a few months ago I was studying for the Logical Reasoning portion of the LSAT. My practice book had a section on causal reasoning that gave a method […]
H.R. 5953 is a proposed piece of legislation designed to help meet the needs of women who have served the United States in the military by posting “Women Veterans Bill of Rights” signs in Veterans Affairs offices. It includes a provision that will hopefully improve female veterans’ awareness of their ability to access health care. […]
The World Economic Forum recently released its 2010 Global Gender Gap Report. By comparing men and women on measures such as salaries, political participation, literacy, and health, the WEF report ranks nations on their achievement of gender equality. Unsurprisingly, high equality was found to correllate with economic prosperity. What I found illuminating is that, despite […]
