Dr J was in San Francisco yesterday for the Prop 8 hearing (to determine standing) in California’s Supreme Court. While she was there, she was able to interview John Eastman (professor of constitutional law at Chapman University’s school of law and founding director of the Center for Constitutional Jurisprudence) and Austin Nimocks (senior legal counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund and part of its marriage team). Check ‘em out.
Dr. Miriam Grossman, campus psychiatrist at UCLA, author of Unprotected and You’re Teaching My Child What?, and keynote speaker for Ruth Institute’s 2010 “It Takes a Family” Conference, appears on FoxNews’s The O’Reilly Factor to discuss New York state’s requirement of sexual education classes for very young children.
There are several new things up on the podcast page (and more to come). Recent additions include:
On the latest issue (May 16) of her radio show, “From the Front Lines of the Culture War,” Dr J interviewed Andy Crouch, author of “Culture Making: Recovering our Creative Calling.” He’s focused on the things we’re creating and upholding; the “you’re just against this” charge sounds more ridiculous than ever. (Check out CatholicRadioOfSanDiego.com for more information on the show.)
On May 18, Dr J and Todd Wilken met on Issues, Etc to discuss Germany’s recent decision to subsidize in vitro fertilization in order to stimulate their birthrate.
There’s also an interview given by Dr J to Phyllis Schlafly on Eagle Forum Live, where they discussed non-religious reasons to support traditional marriage and took comments and questions.
Dr J’s most recent episode of “From the Front Lines of the Culture War” is now up for your listening pleasure. In it, she interviews Bill Duncan, attorney and president of the Marriage Law Foundation, on a wide range of topics. Their discussion includes Prop 8, DoMA, de facto parenting, and more. Check out CatholicRadioOfSanDiego.com for more information on the show.
We also have her interview on Issues, Etc, split into two topical parts. The first deals with the propensity of the Baby Boom generation to solve marital problems–large and small–preferentially with divorce. The second–graphically–explains what passed for an extra-curricular sex ed seminar at Texas A&M and how it’s related to the widespread use of pornography.
(May 4, 2011) Dr J and Todd Wilken meet on Issues, Etc to discuss the federal Defense of Marriage Act, the federal government’s refusal to defend it when challenged in court, and the private legal defense that is stepping into the breach.
(April 29, 2011) Dr J travels to Minnesota to speak at a senate hearing on a proposed marriage amendment to the state constitution. The amendment, along the lines of those passed by popular vote in 31 other states, defines marriage as one man and one woman and would be voted on by the people of Minnesota.
Dr J has some new projects going on–check out what she’s been up to in April so far. There’s more to come, but for now, we’ve got the audio of her new radio program in San Diego, her talk at Wheaton College, “Same Sex Marriage Affects Everyone,” and the latest Issues, Etc interview concerning internet availability of prescription abortion medication.
(March 15, 2011) Dr J traveled up to the Los Angeles area for a screening of “Eggsploitation,” Jennifer Lahl’s documentary on the fertility industry–in particular, the way egg donors are used by the process. (Jennifer Lahl is one of Ruth Institute’s academic advisors.) She gives a short talk after the screening but before the author’s Q&A.
During her visit to Nashville for Aquinas College’s “Love & Life in the Divine Plan” conference, Dr J spoke to the Nashville Republican Women about her work with the Ruth Institute, the views of the next generation on marriage, and the consequences of abandoning or redefining the institution of marriage. She has some things to say about where we’ve been, where we’re going, and why we need to stand up for marriage.
Two of Dr J’s recent “Issues, Etc.” interviews are now available here and on our podcast page. Yesterday’s interview was on Rahna Reiko Rizzuto, the author who decided she no longer wanted to be bothered with motherhood or marriage. February 4th’s interview concerned Barbara Bush and New Yorkers for Equality.
(March 1, 2011) Maggie Gallagher appears on Dennis O’Donovan’s “Religion, Politics, and the Culture” to discuss President Obama’s refusal to uphold DoMA and the ramifications of this approach to legal and policy matters. Listen here.
(March 2, 2011) Dr J appears on Dennis O’Donovan’s “Religion, Politics, and the Culture” to discuss the links between redefining marriage and redefining parenthood and her recent trip to testify before the Rhode Island legislature. Listen here.
(February 4, 2011) Thanks to the Son Rise Morning Show and Sacred Heart Radio for sharing their interview with Sister Jane Dominic of Aquinas College with our podcast. She speaks on the college’s upcoming conference, Love & Life in the Divine Plan, on February 25th & 26th.
(February 15, 2011) Dr J and Todd Wilken meet on Issues, Etc. to discuss her recent trip to Rhode Island, where some members of the legislature are trying to ram through same-sex marriage. They also discuss the upcoming conference in Nashville at Aquinas College: it’s called Love, Life, and the Divine Plan. (More detailed blog post on that here.)
(January 21, 2011) Up on our podcast page is a two-part interview with Bill Duncan; Dr J asks him to bring us up to speed on DoMA and the amicus brief he and NOM recently filed in that case.
We’ve already posted the press release for this, but here’s Dr J’s talk at John Paul the Great Catholic University where she announces the winners of the Early Bird Contest.
(January 4, 2011) Dr J guests on Issues, Etc to discuss the perception of supporters of traditional marriage with Todd Wilken. Why is there widespread assumption that if you’re pro-marriage…you’re automatically anti-gay? (Because we all know that the only reason anyone supports anything is to tick off the other side. Seriously?) But this is the way the same-sex marriage debate is often framed: instead of addressing legitimate issues and questions that are being asked, there is labeling, name-calling, and character assassination.
Dr J was up in San Francisco earlier this week for the Prop 8 trial in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. In addition to the interviews we’ve already posted, she also spoke with Austin Nimocks and Jordan Lorence (both of these are available on our podcast page under Prop 8). There’s also a pre-trial interview with Todd Wilken of Issues, Etc; more are on the way.
Dr J was up in San Francisco earlier this week for the Prop 8 trial in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. While she was there, she interviewed Bill May, Bruce Hausknecht, and Ron Prentice (all of these are available on our podcast page under Prop 8). She was also interviewed by KTVU; that video is currently up on their website.
Dr J was in North Carolina this past weekend, where she gave two talks. The first one, “Love & Economics,” was given at the John Locke Foundation; it deals with marriage as the basic unit of a functioning society. The second one, “Retreat from Relationship in the Hook-Up Culture,” was given at Duke University; it discusses the ways sex was designed to be used and the things that go wrong when it is misused.
Lately there have been quite a fewblog posts about the goings-on at last weekend’s Catholic Women’s Conference in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where Dr J gave two talks. They’re now available on our podcast page so you can go straight to the source.
