New York Times Causes Controversy, Accusations of Bias with Article about Abortion

The New York Times created quite a controversy earlier this year when it published an account of one woman’s decision to have an abortion. The Times didn’t disclose that the woman in question was a prominent abortion rights activist and the reasons she gave for the abortion read like a right wing parody of […]

‘Nuremberg Files’ Web Site Verdict Thrown Out

The Associated Press reports that a three-judge panel in the 9th District Court has thrown out the controversial civil lawsuit against the Nuremberg Files web site.

Camille Paglia on the Pro-Choice Movement

Camille Paglia is pro-choice but, like me, she is troubled by the extremism of much of the core of the pro-choice movement.
