I’ve been working on several projects that have occupied all my little brain cells, including at the United Nations and around the U.S.
Rather than recount individual developments, I want to remark upon a few trends I have noticed. Perhaps these remarks might provide “talking points” when you are confronting arguments nowadays equating liberty for women with women’s (and girls!) sexual license. Read more…

This year, the Supreme Court will render judgment on the institution of marriage. Though most of us don’t realize it, the Court first did so forty-one years ago in Eisenstadt v.

A recent Family in America conference in D.C. lays out the problem, and speaker Jennifer Roback Morse provides a solution.

The AAP Committee on Adolescence has been advocating over-the-counter sales — or, failing that, advance prescriptions — of the morning after pill for all those in its purview for nearly a decade, as has the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists.

NEW YORK (AP) — It’s a campaign believed to be unprecedented in its size and aggressiveness: New York City is dispensing the morning-after pill to girls as young as 14 at more than 50 public high schools, sometimes even before they have had sex. Read more…
The beauty of contraceptive implants is that, once a doctor has tucked one under a woman’s skin, she shouldn’t have to worry about birth control for several years. At least, that’s the theory. But hundreds of British women who were using an implant called Implanon nevertheless wound up pregnant last year and — after visiting doctors to have the implants removed — discovered that the implants were nowhere to be found. What’s behind this deeply troubling mystery, and what are the consequences? Here, a brief guide:
