Posted by Danielle Bean in News on Tuesday, December 07, 2010
Anyone who flies has probably had the not-so-fun experience of sharing the cramped space inside of an airplane with a screaming, crying child.
When it happens to me, I am usually 1) grateful if it’s not my own child and 2) sympathetic to the parents of the screamer.
I suppose being a mom myself makes me more inclined toward sympathy than some, but still I was disturbed by the attitudes of some people... READ MORE

Mark Shea wrote a funny column “noodling,” as he calls it, people who are a little too attached in his view to the Theology of the Body.
I read it and laughed heartily, and agree with his overall premise while taking issue with some of his particulars.

No woman should miss reading Genevieve Kineke’s most recent column at Catholic Exchange: Racks and Ruin
In it, Kineke examines an anti-breastfeeding article by Kathryn Blundell, editor of an Australian parenting magazine. In the article, Blundell explains her aversion to breastfeeding, even calling it “creepy.”

Flavored Tobacco Pellets Are Denounced as Lure to Young Users:
R. J. Reynolds Tobacco, the nation’s second-largest cigarette maker behind Philip Morris, is test marketing the product, Camel Orbs, along with other dissolvable tobacco products, in three cities. It is part of a broad industry trend to create smokeless products... READ MORE
The Pro-Life Majority
Posted by Rebecca Teti in News on Friday, May 15, 2009
This brand new Gallup poll shows that for the first time ever, more Americans self-identify as pro-life than pro-choice.
With significant gains in the last year.
Of course, if you ask Americans about specific policies, they’ve always been overwhelmingly pro-life. What this poll indicates is the “respectability” as it were, of the label. How do we think of ourselves?
