Health issues have been preventing me from blogging much lately. Nothing to worry about, and I’m getting it sorted, but most of my energy will probably be diverted elsewhere for a little while.

PLAGAL and the Nonviolent Choice Directory are collaborating on a crisis pregnancy manual for the LGBT community. Please check out their survey and see if you can offer any assistance.

Congratulations to Dave Lowitzki of the mindful mission on the birth of his daughter! I don’t know if I’ve ever said this, but Dave’s my blogfather — his blog is what inspired my to start my own. Dave, I’m incredibly happy for you, and I know it’s scary, but you’ll be a great dad.

For all of you who are reaching this site by googling for “when do we turn the clocks forward”:

It’s this weekend — early Sunday morning, March 8.

Feel free to stick around and check out the blog!

Shorter Dave Schultheis: Sure, we could prevent newborns from getting AIDS, but that would mean their mothers wouldn’t feel guilt about having sex I disapprove of.

From Schultheis’ web page: “All life is precious, from conception to natural death.” What, unless you can use that person’s death to punish a slut? Yes, death. I know he just says he wants babies to get very badly ill and then grow up, but wishing doesn’t make it so.

I really don’t want to hear anymore about “voting pro-life” when a guy like this would qualify. Seriously, I am DONE. I may actually make that a house rule on this blog. (And how do I not have a “misogyny” tag yet? Must remedy that.)

I just turned in an article for Shared Sacrifice on pro-life progressives. I am already finding things that I wish I could alter (don’t we always?) but I’m looking forward to seeing it in the next issue and seeing what reactions it gets.
