50 Years of Sex Changes, Mental Disorders, and Too Many Suicides

Attention, Low-Income Women of Oregon: Your Reproduction Is Now the Government’s Business

Keeping the Spotlight on Planned Parenthood

Public Discourse

The Dark Side of Third-Party Reproduction

By
Third-party reproduction is pitched as a victory for all, a vehicle for creating beautiful families. But the process requires enticing marginalized women to undergo harmful procedures. Moreover, children are created, with no regard for the rights that other children enjoy, to satisfy the desires of wealthy adults.

The Case of the Pro-Life Movement: On Demography and Marriage

By
The future of marriage in the United States may look grim, but so did the pro-life cause look forty years ago. Embattled social conservatives should find hope in the demographic shifts that trailed the legalization of abortion.

Transgenderism: A Pathogenic Meme

Stop Surrogacy Now: Why We Must Unite

By
None of us can stop surrogacy on our own. I’m pro-choice and support extending legal marriage to include same-sex couples, but I know that if we are to succeed in ending the exploitation and abuse that comes with surrogacy, we must work with others with whom we may have vehement disagreements.
