We ask that you use your State of the Union address to encourage the nation to combat this heinous attack on life, for it most certainly will elicit God's blessing and will be a powerful spur in your plan to Make America Great Again. Mr. President: On January 22, 2019, the 46th Anniversary of Wade. vs. Roe, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo signed into law the historic “Reproductive Health Act,” which guarantees women the “fundamental right” to have an abortion until the birth of the baby, for any reason, and with all criminal aspects eradicated from the books. We now...

Only an hour ago we had been lamenting yet another incredibly bad road. Here in the Ugandan outback, it is as pointless to complain about the roads as it is to complain about politicians in America, but railing against the unchangeable can lighten the mood. But on the way out of a small village in the Bukedea region of Uganda, we didn’t feel the bumps. That was when our team’s defenses failed, and when the gravity of the assault on women—perpetrated by the champions of “women’s health” and “empowerment”—really hit home.

The events that have unfolded in Ferguson, Missouri, in recent weeks have revealed many tragedies, among them the fact that the death of so many youth of color in this country is still debatable in its status as a vaunted “feminist issue.” But it is, and the expansive definition of reproductive justice, which reaches into the universe of conditions necessary to create and sustain life, shows us how. As RH Reality Check Senior Legal Analyst Imani Gandy put it so well in a recent tweet: Imani ABL @AngryBlackLady I saw so many people on Twitter saying "I don't want to...

Question: What would you pay to have your photo taken with first lady Michelle Obama, she of the ripped arms and healthy diet? If you said 5 grand, well, you’re in the ballpark, because the First Spouse is headed to Boston next month to do a parade of grip-and-grins with local Demmies, Obama-ophiles, fitness freaks, Dougie aficionados and anyone else who can pony up the dough. “I’ve been asked to be on the committee to gather women (men too) to come and hear, see and get a sense of this amazing lady,” wrote Brookline Democratic activist Diane Gallagher in a...

Claiming "the right to reproductive health applies to all people at all times," the...

Mr.Buffett. As an avowed supporter of the estate tax, Mr. Buffett could have let the government take its share of his estate after he dies. But just as Mr. Buffett has accumulated his vast wealth without paying much personal income tax, he has found a way to avoid the tax man in this maneuver as well, even writing in his letter to Bill and Melinda Gates that a condition of the gift is that the foundation “must continue to satisfy legal requirements qualifying my gifts as charitable and not subject to gift or other taxes.” On the estate tax, watch...
