Biotechnology is a Women’s Issue
This afternoon I’ll be live on Catholic radio in Lexington, KY to talk about why biotechnology is a women’s issue. Pay attention, ladies! Porn isn’t the only industry commodifying women. Tune in at 5pm EST: http://www.realliferadio.com/ Every show Mike asks a “question of the day.” Today’s question is: In general, do you think women are more objectified in our culture … Read More
Victory for Women in California
On Tuesday Governor Jerry Brown of California surprisingly vetoed a bill that would have permitted biotech companies to buy eggs from women for scientific research. The Center for Bioethics and Culture released the following statement: We applaud California Governor Jerry Brown for his leadership in vetoing AB 926 yesterday. This bill would have allowed women in California to be paid … Read More
Malala Yousufzai: Recovering Well, Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize
What happy news! 15-year-old Malala Yousufzai, the Pakistani schoolgirl who was shot in the head by the Taliban last October, has been discharged from a British hospital after undergoing a successful surgery to reconstruct her skull and help her to restore her hearing. In even more happy news, Yousufzai has been formally nominated for the 2013 Nobel Peace Prize. Her … Read More
A Waste of a Woman
Saw this image on Facebook. Not sure who, exactly, it should be attributed to. Some have said CoCo Chanel (that’s who is pictured here), others the movie I Don’t Know How She Does It with Sarah Jessica Parker. Either way, it makes me think of another quote from the great Alice von Hildebrand “Unwittingly, the feminists acknowledge the superiority of … Read More
Reductio ad Lady Smarts
Lesson learned: a non-recovery, anemic economy is “good enough” to win if you are a good campaigner — a good, extremely negative campaigner. Oh, and women want free birth control something fierce. I can’t honestly say that I’m surprised at the outcome of the election, but I’m still disappointed — in my country, in general, but in my gender, specifically. … Read More
The Petty Concerns of American Feminists
Regarding the recent attempted murder of a 14 year old girl in Pakistan for daring to promote the rights of all girls to become educated, Ken Connor writes: This is the terrifying reality facing women across the Muslim world, yet amidst the hubbub of Election 2012 this story is barely making the news cycle.

Vote With Your Lady Smarts, Not Your Lady Parts
I don’t know who made this image, but it reminds of Michelle Malkin’s column this week responding to a ridiculous ad for Obama from some Hollywood feminists.
Schedule Your Imaginary Mammogram at Planned Parenthood Today!
I can’t believe Planned Parenthood supporters still peddle this nonsense. During Tuesday night’s debate Obama said: “Millions of women all across the country who rely on Planned Parenthood for not just contraceptive care. They rely on it for mammograms, for cervical cancer screenings. That’s a pocketbook issue for women and families all across the country.” Repeat after me: Planned Parenthood … Read More
Planned Parenthood and “Women’s Health”
Over at Patheos, Rep. Rebecca Hamilton, a pro-life Democrat, gives the one of the best Planned Parenthood “war on women” smackdowns that I’ve read yet: Planned Parenthood and their allies in the media and politics have so warped the issue of women’s health that they have cast the debate entirely around what is good for Planned Parenthood. Anything that is … Read More
