  • The decision regarding the fate of the Northern Illinois Women’s Center abortion clinic in Rockford, Illinois will wait another two weeks:

    Attorneys for the NIWC and Illinois Department of Public Health were back before Administrative Law Judge Cynthia Ramirez this morning. They were expected to announce the terms of an agreed settlement stemming from a series of state law and administrative code violations that the clinic was cited for earlier this year. Instead, they asked for more time…. Resolution in this case could range from revocation of the clinic’s license to allowing the clinic to reopen.

Modern feminism: Too narrow-minded?

[S]omehow, somewhere, the feminist movement became co-opted by an extraordinarily narrow view of woman, one as narrow as the previously prevailing view that a woman’s only place was at home barefoot in the kitchen. Now it would seem, the view is that a woman’s only place is at her desk, in a pantsuit, with a nanny at home watching her two children. She must be a card-carrying supporter of Planned Parenthood, or else she is complicit in the ever-illusive “war on women.”

That view presents a woman who is opposed to abortion, eschews contraception, opts out of a career to tend to her children, or has a large family (or all of the above), as anti-feminist, oppressed, and ignorant. It, ironically, makes her a second-class citizen, because of her choice….

Perhaps it’s time we revisit what exactly feminism entails. Rather than jump to label Michelle Duggar a disgrace to all that the women’s rights movement stands for, we can use her choice as a springboard for conversation about respect for women more broadly.

Because all women suffer when society’s view of woman is too narrow.

  • Phill Kline on the Sebelius/Six Shreddergate controversy in Kansas:

    If it is routine to destroy evidence that implicates a key political ally of the governor in criminal activity, then that simply means there is routine corruption.

Abortion documentary offends Anti-Defamation League director

This film is a perverse attempt to make a case against abortion in America through the cynical abuse of the memory of those killed in the Holocaust.

It is, quite frankly, one of the most offensive and outrageous abuses of the memory of the Holocaust we have seen in years.

~ Anti-Defamation League National Director and Holocaust survivor Abraham H. Foxman commenting on the film documentary 180, as quoted by Haaretz, November 11
