As a regular columnist for On Common Ground, I'm glad and grateful for the opportunity to foster reciprocal understanding and cooperative dialogue. But have we?

Randall Terry: Faux-Life Leader
December 15, 2009 - 8:00am (Print)
If
he truly merited the term “pro-lifer,” Randall Terry would condemn violence against abortion providers as an act of immense

July 23, 2009 - 7:00am (Print)
As
a longtime pro contraception prolifer, I cannot stay quiet about Rep.
Tim Ryan's expulsion as a Democrats for Life of America advisory board
member. This brouhaha shows up some rather severe but instructive
barriers to common ground.

What the First Wave of Feminism Can Teach the First Wave of Common Ground
July 9, 2009 - 7:00am (Print)
Prolifers and prochoicers will differ on how much they can relate to early feminist views on abortion. Yet, both can lay claim to their analysis of the societal problems implicated in unintended pregnancy and abortion, and their solutions.
