Freedom-loving people might once have believed that the gay rights movement was about protecting gay people from unwarranted interference with their private lives. No one can believe that any longer. The gay caucus of the California State Assembly is an aggressive and intrusive movement that brooks no disagreement. (more…)

In this week’s article, I challenge retired law professor Linda Hirshman to debate the proposition, “An educated, competent adult’s place is in the office.” Good Morning America gave this woman two days to make her case. I will debate her any time, any place. If any of you belong to organizations or attend universities that might like to host a debate, contact my office. In the meantime, enjoy the column!

Good Morning America recently gave two days to “The Mommy Wars.” highlighting a feminist named Linda Hirshman, a retired law professor. Her argument is that “choice feminism” has been a failure, because too many of the younger generation of highly educated, promising women have chosen to stay home with their children.

Dennis Prager recently argued that the Left values equality more than it hates evil. He is absolutely right. But I can go Dennis Prager one better: the Left hates sex. Not sexual activity, mind you. No, the Left is hyper-active sexually. I mean something much deeper: the Left is war with the fact that we are sexual beings. (more…)

Repealing The Law Of Cause And Effect
It is startling to realize that the looming battle for the Supreme Court hinges on whether nominees will pledge their support for the utterly irrational demand to suspend the law of cause and effect. For that is what the claim that we have a constitutional right to “reproductive freedom” amounts to. All Americans are entitled to have the cause, namely, unlimited sexual activity, without ever experiencing the effect, namely, a live baby. To see the absurdity of this claim, try out a couple of analogies. (more…)
