Abortion Is A Human Right

October 28, 2011 No Comments

We own our bodies, and the government cannot step in and tell us what to do with them. That doesn’t sound too outlandish, right? A recent United Nations report stood up for this idea, saying that a woman has a right to her own health and body. Although the idea seems simple it goes against ...

Coincidentally, She Was Fired An Hour After Announcing She Was Pregnant

A woman was fired from her job an hour after announcing she was pregnant. But management swears they were already going to let her go before her announcement for other reasons, so the firing was warranted. Riiight. Alison MacKinnon was working at the small hotel Inn on the Hill for only a month, allegedly unknowingly on ...

Free Speech And Forbidden Fruit

Free Speech And Forbidden Fruit

October 19, 2011 No Comments

I recently saw the question “Should free speech trump hate laws?” answered with a simple “Yes.” I think in reality the answer should be, it depends. After all, nothing tastes sweeter than forbidden fruit. I don’t think that anyone should have the right to be legally protected from being merely offended. But I do think ...

LGBT Hate Criminals Denied Entry To The US

LGBT activists have been pretty disappointed on President Obama’s stance on their rights so far. The repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” dragged on and his position on same-sex marriage has been a little wishy-washy. But he has now made a decisive move to show the world and his country that gay rights are not ...

In Ghana, the uprising of African homophobia marches on. A government minister has gathered a disheartening amount of support by encouraging the country’s intelligence services to “round up” and arrest all gay and lesbian people. Paul Evans Aidoo, the minister for the Western Region of Ghana, is the latest to hop on the bandwagon of ...

Say what you will about the United Nations’ efficiency, they made a huge advance today by recognizing sexual orientation and gender identity as essential human rights to protect.

When you’re young, friends and relatives ask you the question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” For Roman Catholic women with strong faith and leadership qualities, it’s a shame that they can’t say, “I want to be a priest.” Although women are defying the strict rules of Catholicism and making it ...

Being born a man but knowing you are a woman is hard for anyone, but imagine if you had to live your life in the wrong body in a prison where nobody really cares — the only thing that matters is that you’ve committed a crime and you’re paying the price. Virginian inmate, Ophelia De’lonta, ...

It’s one thing to agree with the exchange of sex for money and quite another to propose it should be legal for women to be sex slaves. Salwa al Mutairi, a female Kuwaiti politician, has said that men should use women as sex slaves. But there’s more. She adds that prisoners from war-torn countries would ...

The Malaysian police have a lot of explaining to do after officers bound 30 women detained for alleged prostitution in chains, and branded them “as though they were cattle.” Thirty Chinese and Vietnamese women, as well as eight Malaysian men, were arrested in a raid on a Penang nightclub on Thursday.
