  • 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 ...

  • In disagreement

    The course of the abortion discussion seems to miss the point of the entire issue. By the time a pregnancy comes around, the biggest decision has already been made- to have sex. Yes, accidents and rapes happen, but we're talking about consensual sex here. For anyone who decides to have sex, they are willingly deciding to enter themselves into ...

  • Getting out of a mess

    What got us into this population mess to begin with was the contraceptive tampering with the natural, intrinsic bond between sex for intimacy and pleasure and sex for reproduction in a lifelong heterosexual marriage. Once we have taken what God built into creation and decided to do things our own way, we have to figure out how to deal with ...

  • 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 ...

  • 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. ...

  • Not what I was expecting

    I've long argued that the age of consent needs to be rethought, for a couple basic reasons: puberty is happening earlier, and I also think that society has a role. In my view (and I'm not saying this because I believe it per se, it just seems to be a natural progression), consent also plays a role. If a 14 year old girl can go to the school ...

  • Re: Futile to try to “prove” this “logically”

    It isn't the moral and political dilemma you make it out to be necessarily. It isn't even a logical dilemma --well of course that depends on your background. There are some who would try to draw some distinction between the life lost in the petri dish at the hand of a scientist and that which is lost in a fertility center at the hands of a clinic ...
