Chinese birth control
You would think that China with its enormous population would also have enormous problems with sexually transmitted diseases and unwanted pregnancies. Why is that not the case?

The Church is correct...on its terms. What's the alternative
I posted this earlier as a reply, but I'd like to posit it as a new post as I'm interested in whether people are willing to face the logical conclusions of the views opposed to the Church. And, I wonder whether the Church needs to change despite the alternatives.... When the Vatican talks about the ''Culture of Death,'' it is talking about the ...

Re: something that is never mentioned
HA! You've fallen for the hype that ''It's just a blob of tissue.'' of ''A bunch of cells.'' But let's just assume (for a moment) that this is true (as you think) during the first trimester. Are you then in agreement that abortion is wrong in subsequent trimesters? Here's a link about fetal development ...

Re: Lots of ways to be pro-life
I agree, and after watching last night's debate, I have to confess that I'm a bit surprised that there's been so little attention paid to Senator McCain's statement that abortion being allowed when the health of the mother is in danger is ''extreme'' and ''pro-abortion''. To me, this is a huge slap in the face of women everywhere. Senator ...

The final debate
Ladies: I have to confess that I'm a bit surprised that none of you have addressed Senator McCain's statement that the stance that abortion be allowed when the health of the mother is in danger is ''extreme'' and ''pro-abortion''. Why no discussion of this huge slap in the face of women everywhere? Why no commendation of Senator Obama's view that ...

Palin's Choice
I love the thought of women ascending to high office. While women haven't hit the executive office yet, many fine and talented woman have been in the Senate, Congress, and cabinet positions for decades. As a child of the 70s I myself am abundantly gifted with the benefits of the 70s woman's movement. But the thing that bothers me about Sara ...

Palin: Why is abortion even on the table?
Being Pro-choice means supporting women who want to carry a pregnancy to term as well as women who wish to abort the process all together. It means promoting healthy pregnancies, pre-natal AND post-natal care. Palin's daughter appears to be healthy, has a home, and has the money and resources to have a healthy pregnancy and post-natal care. ...

The Cost Of Reckless Sexual Appetite
The Abortion Cartell is making Billions on plaing their bets between a zipper vs a knife. Now the Cartell prospers in the same fashion as the Bank prospers when one bounces a check. In the end does it really matter if it was by accident or reckless disregard? If an honest mistake, one can call the Bank and pleads one's case for mercy. ...

Where is a discussion about Father's Rights?
Up front allow me to say that I am a clear supporter of abortion rights under any and all circumstances. I was raised in a strongly feminist household and support equal rights for women and do not believe they have been achieved yet. And yet I was deeply troubled by the language Linda used in this article in its absolutism about it being only ...

Good for you!
I agree with the concept of ''autonomy''; that's what's really at stake for women. I'd like to make the controversial observation that five of the Supreme Court Justices--Kennedy, Scalia, Thomas, Roberts, and Alito--are Catholic. Catholicism forbids abortion. Should we consider limiting the number of members of a given religion that can be ...
