When Sen. Ben Nelson's (D-Neb.) abortion language was added to the Senate health care bill, a Republican member of my organization sent me this email: "Don't blame us. It's your party and president that started this mess."

Is it me, or is Obama's health care bill increasingly...

As if we didn't see this coming.

The ability of the Senate to pass the health care bill could well come down to one issue: abortion.

Let me give you the advance preview of how this will play out. The Senate will reach a compromise on the Public Option. Then,...

It's not been a particularly good press week for two well known misogynists: Rick Warren and Larry Summers. Both men were early selections of President Obama.

If we are to judge our president by whom he surrounds himself with, then what do Obama's selections of Warren and Summers tell us?...

I've been watching with great interest as of late the amount of hate stories written about Governor Palin. Oh yes, we are a country that loves our drama. And we are certainly a country that can, at times, be accused of going to extremes. But one thing is certain about...

After yet another evening of being thrown under the bus, it is high time that women's organizations drastically change their approach!

Women in the Democratic Party have been taken for granted and have lost their bargaining power as a result. Ladies, this is business, plain and simple, and what it...

There's a sign going up at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It reads: "Boy's Club: Girls Not Allowed."

Despite much talk of hope and change, President Obama seems largely tone-deaf to women and women's issues. Post-racial country -- yes. Post gender inequality -- not so much.

Were we sold a brand that...

I feel a conversation coming on. Yet again.

I've already had way too many conversations with my daughter well before the appropriate age. How many more times will the actions of our teenage TV stars prompt discussions on topics well before their time?

Miley Cyrus, aka "Hannah Montana" of the...

It's not personal, it's business. Revenues have been decreasing at an escalating rate in all business lines. Major losses in the main subsidiary have been financed through intercompany borrowings. Despite the financial hemorrhage, management has been taking salary increases. A bankruptcy filing could be imminent. Is this Bear Stearns...

Timing is everything. Throughout his illustrious career, David Letterman had a knack for timing the delivery of his words. Unfortunately for Letterman, his timing with the national psyche was not so fortuitous. Had he delivered those same jokes a year ago, the words would have simply vaporized into the air...

It's not your mother's feminism. In fact, it's so revolutionary that the word "feminism" is being updated. The next wave is here. The players are different. The words are different. The asks are different. The weapons and tactics are different. Even the feel is different.

We knew it was coming....

When is sexism acceptable? The answer should be never. Yet for many feminists in our country, only certain types of women have been worth defending. When a conservative woman is the target of an attack, many so-called feminists stay silent. This "selective sexism", or speaking out against sexism on a...
