Mary Richards and Me
Today is Day 3 of Elena Kagan’s confirmation hearings and if she hasn’t started to sweat yet, I imagine she will today. Judicial experts and pro-life advocates have ramped up their opposition this week and built a strong and compelling case against Elena Kagan becoming the US Supreme Court justice to replace Stevens. Though she [...]
One. I have recently fallen in love with two new (to me) musicians, both of whom I highly recommend to you: Andrew Belle and Joshua Radin. Caroline first introduced me to Andrew Belle by giving me a copy of his new single. I loved it immediately and his thoughtful lyrics even inspired a blog post [...]
Is that even possible? You better believe it. Sarah Palin’s address to the Susan B. Anthony List’s Celebration of Life breakfast last weekend raised the ire of a couple pro-choice feminist scholars who claim that there’s no way on earth Susan B. Anthony was a “pro-life feminist”. In fact, according to these two women, Susan [...]

Health care wasn’t the only thing that kept me from writing in my blog over the past two weeks. I was also given a writing assignment kind of at the last minute a few days before the vote and with a deadline of Monday morning (!). So I ended up spending the little free time [...]
In the world of Sally Elizabeth Forsythe, silence in some form or another usually means that crazybusyness has taken over my life. And, for the past two weeks, that has been exactly the case. First, it was the health care vote on Sunday, March 21, everything leading up to it, and its aftermath, all of [...]
That’s why I’m going into work today. All hands on deck at AUL for the weekend because real health care respects life. Support Stupak and encourage your lawmakers to vote NO tomorrow against health care reform! And check out AUL’s awesome Life Counts ad campaign!
Why is that making the headlines and not this? What women really need is more of this. Over 30 years ago, Louise Brown, the world’s first “test tube baby” was born. Ever since then, the world has been watching to see how babies like Louise would turn out down the road. Just last month, researchers [...]
