My husband and children sat with me on a recent Saturday night to watch a program we recorded about women’s portrayal in the media.

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; &#8230;from yesterday&#8217;s Tampa Tribune. Those of us staring at middle age with a vodka tonic in one hand and waxing strips in the other are rather lucky. Our mothers and grandmothers fought back against harassment, sexist laws, and humiliating policies so we could eventually earn 75 cents to every man’s dollar and find fulfillment [...]]]></description>

The Stupak Amendment reminds us all that we are to always be vigilant and on guard.

In addition, crimes motivated by bigotry, racism, and prejudice are so abhorrent that society should rally against them and declare the motivations crimes as well. This distinction illustrates how certain [...]]]></description>
