Re: Sex reversal
Let us suppose we grant that men get the death penalty more often because they commit more murders. I will buy that, although I will be skeptical of the claim that men commit 99 times as many murders (which would account for the 99-1 ratio on death row). Indeed the website http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/pub/pdf/wo.pdf shows that 14% of ...

Re: something that is never mentioned
Sorry, your ten cents, isn't worth a nickel. Honest Pro-life folks see that women who are faced with a crisis pregnancy need the greatest compassion of all. Pro-Choice folks don't realize that she's not offered any choice at all except killing her child. Planned Parenthood doesn't offer (or want to offer) information about adoption options, ...

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 ...

Disappointed in XX Factor
It's a Girl! Uh, so what? Groundbreaking? Only if you think that something that was done 20 years early by the other party is groundbreaking. This is not Hillary. This is not even Kathleen Sebelius, Olympia Snowe or Christine Todd Whitman. This is one very conservative politician. The only thing I have in common with this woman is a set of ...

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 ...

Don't blame the company.
Putting aside the ethical questions, lets ask whether the company has done anything wrong. (I have no ties to the company.) A quick look at the ''Pink or Blue'' website reveals a page on which the accuracy of the test is compared alongside other types of tests such as amniocentesis. The stated accuracy is 95%. Without getting into too much ...

Dear God
I am sorry to have to bother you, but after receiving no response from Santa -even after repeated attempts- and thereafter Jesus, who apparently snubbed all of my letters (not taking the time to respond even once), I felt it was necessary to forward my letter to you. Sorry to usurp your time. I am writing to inform you of what I would like ...
