Shorter Ross Douthat: The fact that abortion rates are  lower in states where abortion access is severely limited by government intrusion, medically unnecessary roadblocks, paternalistic overreach, clinic harassment and religiously motivated doctor assassinations is a clear indication of their superior methods for making abortion safe, legal, and rare.

It appears we all owe an apology to Ross Douthat for his defense of what now appears to a simple act  of self preservation State Rep. Jeanine Notter, R-Merrimack, told a House committee earlier today that health insurance companies should not be required to cover birth control because the pill has recently been linked to [...]

Shorter Ross Douthat: Just because the Cafeteria Catholics, the Apostate Catholics, and the Heretic Catholics who make up the ninety-eight percent of the church membership who are already rolling their eyes and going “Yeah, whatevs..” whenever the Pope says knock it off with the baby not-having, doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t respect the rights of [...]
