Debunking Arguments Against Legal Personhood for the Unborn: Part 2
Fetal personhood laws could also impact contraception access, given that some members of the anti-abortion movement argue that IUDs and the emergency contraception Plan B can prevent the implantation of a fertilized egg and violate personhood, explains Mary Ziegler, an abortion law historian at the University of California, Davis, School of Law.

Debunking Arguments Against Legal Personhood for the Unborn: Part 1
For all that Dobbs did for the fight for life, there's one issue that it conspicuously avoided—whether the unborn are in fact human persons. Dobbs repeatedly made reference to supposed "fetal life," but refused to claim that this fetal life was the life of a person and thus entitled to protection.

Abortion is a Men’s Issue: Part 2
In Part 1, I relayed a conversation I had with a man on an airplane who recited the standard line about abortion being a "woman's choice" to justify his lack of opinion on the matter. I expressed my recent conviction about how wrong this perspective is, as well as my growing frustration with men who shirk their responsibility to speak up for the vulnerable.

Abortion is a Men’s Issue: Part 1
On a recent flight across the country, I sat next to a man who was probably in his late 20s or early 30s. We'll call him Joe. Joe seemed amiable and outgoing enough—he even threw in a friendly curse word here and there. So, as I usually do on airplane flights, I engaged my fellow passenger in conversation about a topic of real significance. I asked Joe about his opinion on abortion.

Do Firefighters Support Arson?
Though I am not a firefighter, I know that sometimes that they have to use destructive methods to save structures and lives. Sometimes in fighting wildfires, it is necessary to burn portions of land to create a buffer and keep a fire from spreading. Imagine if these protective measures were twisted to suggest that firefighters support arson and destruction of property.
