  1. Gay rights: Weighing Prop. 8, religion and morality

    Reader views on same-sex marriage have evolved along with broader public opinion. Over the years, the mix of opinions sent to letters@latimes.com has tilted more heavily in favor of granting gay couples the right to wed. Where there's some gray between the black-and-white arguments for or against Proposition 8 -- California's 2008 ballot initiative banning gay marriage -- is in how society should go about establishing equal marriage rights. Some readers who oppose Proposition 8 have questioned whether overturning it through the courts and not the ballot box is the best course of action.

  2. Kansas latest state poised to restrict abortions

    In yet another victory for antiabortion forces this year, Kansas legislators have become the latest state lawmakers to approve a sweeping antiabortion measure — this one a law that says life begins at fertilization, bans abortions due to the sex of the fetus and eliminates tax breaks for abortion providers.

  3. A gay marriage backlash? Not likely

    Court decisions sometimes spark dramatic political backlashes. Brown vs. Board of Education, which struck down school segregation laws in 1954, temporarily retarded progressive racial reform in the South and advanced the political careers of racial extremists. Furman vs. Georgia (1972), which strictly limited capital punishment, increased support for the death penalty, and Roe vs. Wade (1973) catalyzed a powerful right-to-life movement. The Massachusetts Supreme Court's 2003 ruling in favor of marriage equality led 25 states to enact constitutional amendments barring it.

  9. Shereen El Feki discusses her new book on sex in the Arab world

    As change sweeps across the Arab world, there are a variety of lenses through which to examine these changes: religious, cultural, political, economic. Shereen El Feki has chosen a decidedly less conventional lens with her new new book “Sex and the Citadel: Intimate Life in a Changing Arab World” (Pantheon, $29), due out Tuesday.

  10. Idaho law banning abortions after 20 weeks ruled unconstitutional

    SEATTLE — A federal judge has struck down an Idaho law prohibiting abortions after 20 weeks, ruling that the so-called fetal pain law violates U.S. Supreme Court prohibitions against unduly impeding a woman’s ability to seek an abortion before her fetus is able to live outside the womb.

  11. Arkansas abortion law: They can't be serious

    The <a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nation/nationnow/la-na-nn-arkansas-lawmakers-abortion-20130306,0,6136091.story" target="_blank">approval by Arkansas' Legislature</a> on Wednesday of the nation's most restrictive abortion law raises a lot of questions. No, I don't mean the usual questions about when life begins or whether the government has a right to intrude in such an intensely personal decision; I don't presume to be able to answer those, nor could anybody do so in a way that would satisfy true believers on the other side.
