...about her experience next year. But Fairstein continues to insist that the new evidence "does not exonerate the other five, who by their own admissions participated in her attack by holding her down and striking her to the ground." Reyes, now 31, said he was moved to admit his guilt after witnessing the hard time Wise was having in prison. Reyes' harrowing account of how he tracked his victim, felled her and then subdued her again after she tried to escape half naked has forced an entire city to relive that time--and to rue the miscarriage of justice that...
...option is best for her. Scaring a woman into a decision is terrorization. The campaign does not even suggest a “solution,” such as what an undergraduate who decides not to seek an abortion might do. Instead, the Natalie posters are aimed to elicit guilt. This approach labels women who seek abortions as Baby Killers, instead of giving them options. Stooping so low as to use guilt, not logic, is morally repugnant...
...that pro-choice is not the same as pro-abortion—no woman feels good about an abortion, and salting that wound achieves nothing. (Keep in mind that despite decades of similar fetus-flashing campaigns, 1.5 million American women continue to seek abortions each year.)

More importantly, it is a movement to increase pre-natal, adoption and foster...
...Roald has seen attitudes toward her faith shift from indifference to begrudging tolerance mixed with mostly quiet disdain. "Scandinavians want to be inclusive, but it's difficult," she says, especially after Sept. 11. Thanks in part to Osama bin Laden, Roald and other Muslims unfairly bear what she calls "guilt by association." She often feels the judgment of others the instant they see her headscarf. "When I became a Muslim, I didn't know you were supposed to wear the hijab. Most Muslims in Norway didn't," Roald recalls. "I thought people just wore it when it was windy." After...
...have to write history from the victims' point of view." Although Friedrich acknowledges that "Churchill and Roosevelt had no choice but to overcome the German threat through total war," he is quite aware that right-wing extremists might misconstrue parts of his book as morally equating Nazi and Allied guilt. But the ubiquity of those groups, he believes, is precisely the reason why Der Brand had to be written. "These people's monopoly on the subjects of expulsion, rape and the bombing war has to be broken by democratic and neutral historians who take a balanced view," he argues...
