So much for the break-up of the family caused by women's emerging roles. Turns out women's liberation has had a transformational and positive impact on men's lives. Makes for a Happy Father's Day indeed!

If ever there was a perfect time for men to band together against a loss of fatherhood, that time is now -- with their demand for access to emergency contraception. Those who feel that they have been hurt by abortion have more reason than anyone else to spread knowledge of Plan B and support its widespread provision to men.
