  2. A birth control double standard

    In the uproar about making the morning-after contraceptive known as Plan B available to our daughters, there has been no similar outcry about condoms and our sons. Anyone of any age can walk into a drugstore &mdash; as well as most grocery and big-box stores &mdash; and buy condoms. If you want to remain anonymous, you can pay cash; no ID is required. If you're too embarrassed to face the checkout clerk, use the self-check aisle or, for $17.97, get a box of 100 &mdash; flavored or with "added sensations," even &mdash; delivered to your door in a plain brown box.

  3. Commencement speakers: Conservatives need not apply

    We have once again entered the college commencement season, which means we'll soon be reading about uplifting graduation speeches delivered by prominent Americans. Or at least by prominent liberal Americans.

  4. Katie Aselton, Lake Bell and Kate Bosworth survive 'Black Rock'

    The premise is familiar: Three young women on a camping trip find themselves under siege from three unhinged attackers and fight back. But what happens in &ldquo;Black Rock&rdquo; is unexpected, as rather than a more typical story of female empowerment and revenge, the film explores issues of friendship and the primal bonds that come to connect people to one another.

  7. Doctoring in a family way

    Jennifer was one of my first patients as a new doctor, and she came to see me about an unintended pregnancy. A single mom to a rambunctious 5-year-old girl, Jennifer was struggling economically and battling depression. We talked about the options available to her: continuing the pregnancy and preparing to parent another child, offering the baby for adoption or having an abortion. She chose to continue with the pregnancy, and I worked with her over the following months as she struggled with the discomforts of pregnancy, excessive weight gain and the anxiety of having to raise two small children on her own.

  10. Women's prayer at Western Wall sparks protest

    JERUSALEM -- Thousands of ultra-Orthodox Jews flooded into the Old City&rsquo;s Western Wall Plaza early Friday in a boisterous and sometimes violent protest against a group of female activists exercising a newly court-affirmed right to pray at the holy site in a similar fashion as men do.
