Is an abnormally high reduction in the number of children born in your own race considered racist or genocidal?

A controversial billboard in Texas proclaims “Black & Unwanted” with a photo of a sad Black baby’s ...

The most recent argument against Marie Stopes sexual health charity is that they offer free abortions to their employees and families. But so what? Yes, they do provide free abortions. But the reason for this is because ”team members, their partners and dependants will be able to access MSI’s [Marie Stopes International] core services…without charge.” Abortion ...

Polygamy is a confusing issue. Is it a religious practice? Is it an evil thing? Are we prudes to reject it, or naive to accept it? As more high profile cases hit the courts, we are being asked to pick a side.

Oklahoma has just passed two incredibly controversial laws that limit a woman’s right to freedom of choice as well as invading her privacy around abortion. Informed choice? What’s that? Who cares?!
