Here's some stuff I've been checking out while not blogging. First, there are a couple of talking heads discussing sex selective abortion at the NYTimes:


The older, battle-worn feminist apparently hasn't considered the downside of unfettered "choice"...when you say no one can judge a woman's reasons for an abortion, that includes the unbelievably insidious form of discrimination which is sex selective abortion -- against abortion victims, the maternal survivors, and the generational compatriots of those women aborted. More proof that abortion hurts everyone and it's never just a "private thing".

Will the lesson be learned? Not yet. Maybe in 40 years when we have childbrides, increased prostitution, and no women left in the workforce because they're all forced to be at home in a one-size-fits-all matriarchal mold, which is more or less the supply-and-demand answer to fewer women.

Speaking of the self-imposed discrimination against women which is the Feminist Movement, I've also been reading The Pornification of Girlhood. It's a must read for anyone who even considers the notion that feminism has been good for the modern woman. It's long, but completely worth the read. For those still interested after that read, do follow Genevieve's blog Feminine Genius, wherein authentic femininity is explored.

So that's about what I've been up to. I've also been talking with the Building Cathedrals gals about some web design stuff -- good folks, them. A bunch of Princeton educated mommies who are faithful to the Church makes for a blog well worth reading.

Ok. Enough women stuff.

Lessee....what else...

I've been doing some work lately with various feminist topics. This post concerns the practice of Female Genital Mutilation, or FGM. For more information on FGM, check out www.fgmnetwork.org.

From the President of the Pontifical Council for the Family:

144. In traditional cultures, parents must not accept practices which are contrary to Christian morality, for example rites associated with puberty which sometimes involve introducing young people to sexual practices or acts contrary to the dignity and rights of the person, such as the genital mutilation of girls

Here's a video I watched today about the objectification of women in advertising. Since it's a human topic, it's also a Catholic topic (even if it's not given as such). I think it's one worth watching.

Genevieve Kineke (whom I've linked before for feminist issues) was interviewed on
Catholic Moments Podcast #33 a few days ago. Here's what the CMP says:

This podcast features an interview with noted Catholic author Genevieve Kineke during which we discuss the observances surrounding the 20th anniversary of Pope John Paul II's encyclical entitled Mulieris Dignitatem, On the Dignity and Vocation of Women. We also discuss Lisa's marathon training, your feedback, our current contests and more. To share your comments, email us at catholicmoments@mac.com or comment at www.catholicmoments.com or call our new telephone feedback line at (206)339-9272.

What is it with SQPN and marathons?!? Seriously! You folks are crazy!

Over at A Catholic iPod they've posted some rather interesting and worthwhile audio shows. He writes:

An update to posts here and here, I have added audio shows 12-16 from Spirit Catholic Radio with Dr. Thomas Hilgers, founder of the Pope Paul VI Institute for The Study of Human Reproduction. A summary - Contraception increases out-of-wedlock pregnancy rates. A doctor will give the pill for menstrual cramps and in the back of the doctor’s mind he will say “and she won’t get pregnant.” Dr. Hilgers discusses the HPV vaccine. Artificial Reproduction Technology - Are we ever going to find a cure for infertility? If we continue down the artificial road we will never find a cure because it is not interested in the causes. About 6.2 million women have some type of impaired infertility. The causes of recurrent miscarriages. What is endometriosis and the treatment and causes. The pharmaceutical industry is not a friend of the NaProTechnology treatments, but some Compounding Pharmacists are interested. (Click Links to listen.)

Show 12: Teens and the Birth Control Pill
Show 13: Artificial Reproduction Technology
Show 14: Women Healed- Infertility
Show 15: Women Healed- Recurrent Spontaneous Abortion
Show 16: Women Healed- Endometriosis

UPDATE: It has come to my attention that the following programs are hosted by the same wonderfully Catholic woman, Genevieve Kineke (author of The Authentic Catholic Woman), who runs the Feminine-Genius blog. Do check her out!
