What a Turn-of-the-Century Anti-Abortion and Contraception Crusader Reveals About GOP Efforts to Ban Abortion Pills by Mail

By Steven K. Green

…items within their borders (as is already the case federally with lottery tickets). A Republican-controlled Congress could then impose a nationwide ban on the mailing of abortion pills or certain contraceptives. (Republican-controlled state legislatures have already demonstrated a willingness to enact questionable legislation for nothing more than its intimidation factor.) Which brings us back to Anthony Comstock. In 1878, the Supreme Court uphel…

Robbing Peter to Give Charity to Paul: The Dirty Secret Behind American ‘Giving’

By Peter Laarman

…is. But there’s a problem. We now live in a society engulfed in what Chuck Collins, an heir to wealth himself and an astute critic of winner-take-all economics, calls an “oligarchic death spiral.” Among other things, this means that private charity can’t begin to keep up with what we might call manufactured suffering: the downward push on wages and public benefits even as the richest among us vacuum up ever more obscene wealth. Collins notes that…

Catholics Talk About Sex

By Kate Ott

…ndsey Hennawi, wrote a Letter to the Editor about the incident. Rev. Chris Collins, the priest, responded by defending his position that condom use is damaging to a person, his or her sexuality, and the sexuality of their partner. Alicia Johnson, Chair of BCSSH, reported, “Not all Jesuit Catholic Universities require student groups to conform to their theological opinions.” Across the country, others have found room within their institutional val…

Burning Down the Temple: Religion and Irony in Black Rock City

By Sarah M. Pike

…kepocalypse”: for the first time ever, the event sold out. Scalpers hawked tickets for hundreds of dollars over their purchase price and artists who had been working feverishly to finish their projects but had put off purchasing tickets were left out in the cold. It was a different scene in 1997 when I first came to Burning Man and only waited briefly at the entrance as a “Greeter” cast a cursory glance at my car. But the Greeters’ enthusiastic re…

Liberal Intolerance, Or, an Occasion for Public Theology

By Byron Williams

…mine our assumptions. Tolerance should therefore be measured by our discomfort rather than our comfort. In my tradition I would say that it is our willingness to engage in the inconvenient love of Jesus—this is the ultimate lesson of the cross, where the gospel narratives coalesce into a single account of Jesus providing comfort, forgiveness, hope, compassion and love to others, at a most inconvenient time for him personally. The place where the…

“The Lord’s Standard of Morality” Promotes LDS Rape Culture

By Holly Welker

…inappropriate verbal confrontation engineered by a teacher I’ll call Elder Collins, I told his supervisor, whom I’ll call Elder Norton, that the church encouraged rape culture. I didn’t use that term, because if that term existed in 1985, I hadn’t heard it yet. But I did discuss attitudes toward rape and sexual assault within the larger context of sexism and misogyny. Elder Norton stared at me, his face impassive. “Sister Welker,” he asked, “has a…

Refusing the Monsters on Maple Street: A First-Person Commentary from the Mass Hysteria at JFK

By Marion Grau

…alse—swept through the terminals, sending passengers, law-enforcement, and airline workers scrambling for cover and eventually onto the tarmac. The responding authorities found neither shooters nor evidence of any shots fired. The most likely explanation offered for the panic was that the cheering of Olympics fans for Usain Bolt’s performance in the 100 meters sounded like gunfire. In an episode titled “The Monsters are Due on Maple Street,” from…

Invited by Allah

By Amina Wadud

…ried to make hajj almost three decades ago, I must admit, I was nervous. Unfortunately the tour company has never allayed my fears. They never really came forward with any information or with any response to direct questions. So I have stayed nervous. I knew that from the US there are no quotas, and that what had been a factor —no matter what technicalities were used from the embassy in Cairo—the real matter was that Egypt is not only very conveni…

An Open Letter to CEO Jeff Smisek On United Airlines’ Blasphemous Safety Video

By Austin Dacey

…entirely to make way for the announcer’s voiceover—“Please make sure your phone and all electronics are switched off and stowed”—as a single chord hovered to a simple four-beat pulse in the fashion of light pop radio. Gone were the jaunty, urbane syncopations that will forever mark the arrival of the jazz idiom—and with it the bluesy sinews of the American soul—to the hallowed halls of Western art music, smothered under a featureless musical goo…

Gingrich Downplays Adelson Money, Stokes Fear of “Second Holocaust” at Florida Church

By Sarah Posner

…ughter Bella was hospitalized.) Organizers said they had distributed 1,800 tickets, and the pews in the church were nearly full, with several hundred, if not nearly a thousand people in attendance. Gingrich was the only candidate to appear; Staver, the “forum’s” moderator took pains to point out that they had invited the other candidates. Santorum and Ron Paul had commitments outside of Florida. Mitt Romney, the candidate Staver and other leaders…
