  • Dahlia Lithwick Uses Recipes to Write a Legal Column About..

    ... ABORTION. Lithwick's very idea that women do not have reproductive choice, if they cannot extinquish the life growing in their own wombs, is in and of itself faulty. I mean, my God, did the female have sex with the guy, or did she not? As to being ''for change'' in everything but pro-Abort American policies at home and abroad, not everyone ...

  • Re: But we're not competing against just Europe

    The point about the absence of maternity leave in U.S. seems especially relevant and disturbing, given the complete negligence of the issue in a country that pretends to care about ''family values''. We have to look at the bigger picture. First, maternity leave means that children will have more access to their parents, more care, more love, more ...

  • Re: Feminism ended Marriage/Family

    I came to this very interesting post thread a few days late, by way of Blue Skies by way of another Responder to both Blue Skies and MichaelBernard1 on the Iraq War exegesis as to ''how we got here.'' While I sympathize with this female academician and her illustrations greatly, based on her point of view, I have to either disagree or comment ...

  • Re: So teenage abortions are better?

    Yes, in most cases, teenage abortions are better, especially for younger teenagers, for whom an abortion is much less of a health risk than a full term pregnancy. It's not just the pregnant teenager who is at risk. Our cruel adoption laws pose significant psychological burdens on adoptive children who are effectively forbidden by law from even ...

  • Democrats in Congress Failed Us All 8 Years

    The Democrats and Democratic Party failed to stand up for what is right for the entire eight years of the Bush / Cheney White House misrule. They gave away our American two-party system; they gave away majority rule; they gave away our civil rights and bill of rights and civil liberties; they gave away the constitutional authority of the ...

  • Its the IDEA behind the Systemic Problem, friend

    Usama2: ''... America... decriminalized all sex outside of marriage. You made all sex a public choice. You virtually removed all moral, religious, and ethical standards surrounding sex, except consent. You ignored the complimentary nature of the sexes, attempting to claim each sex is merely identical: as if Woman was just Aw and man was Am, ...

  • Re: Have your Cake and Eat it Too

    Janipurr: Usama, I'm not sure I see what your point is, here. Are you saying that capitalism is to blame for teen sex? It probably has nothing to do with the fact that they are physically mature, I'm sure--capitalism is the evil that must be stamped out! Are you sure your name isn't Osama? One more question--if it is a woman's ...

  • Have your Cake and Eat it Too

    Of the many problems plaguing America, this is one which I have the least sympathy and harshest judgement towards America. Abortion? Teen sex? Abstinence? Viagra? You decriminalized all sex outside of marriage. You made all sex a public choice. You virtually removed all moral, religious, and ethical standards surrounding sex, except consent. ...

  • Re: Your Beautiful Study.

    Spiker, seriously I would like to thank you. You have given me one of the better reads that I have had in a while. I intend to respond to your other thread, but I don't know that I can get there tonight or tomorrow. Yet for now this study is definitely worth highlighting and walking through together. The article you quote isn't about changing ...
