  5. Dr. Kermit Gosnell abortion case: Why no national media spotlight?

    News outlets fall all over themselves to cover horrific crimes because, frankly, there's a big audience for sensational stories. So naturally, abortion foes have been wondering why the national media -- this newspaper included -- haven't jumped all over the indictment and trial of Dr. Kermit B. Gosnell in Philadelphia.

  7. 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.

  8. 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 &ldquo;Sex and the Citadel: Intimate Life in a Changing Arab World&rdquo; (Pantheon, $29), due out Tuesday.
    This post has been corrected, as indicated below.

  9. 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.

  11. Supreme Court justices: The case for hanging it up

    Over the next three months, the justices of the U.S. Supreme Court will decide whether to end affirmative action, whether to overturn part of one of the most important civil rights laws in our country's history (the Voting Rights Act) and whether gays and lesbians have a constitutional right to the same marriage benefits as heterosexual couples. In almost every term, the justices exercise veto power over fundamental policy questions such as abortion, gun control and freedom of speech and religion. There can be no denying the political and legal responsibility we place in these nine justices.
