Government shouldn’t interfere with women’s access to care

On Aug. 21, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced it is moving forward with a proposed regulation that, if enacted, would jeopardize women's health care by allowing providers to withhold services and critical information women need to make fully informed decisions about their health care.

Palin a weak choice for McCain’s ticket

In a move that was timed to steal media attention from Sen. Barack Obama's nomination acceptance speech at the close of the Democratic National Convention, Sen. John McCain announced Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska as his running mate. Although the media craze surrounding her would have you think she is a demigod among mortal choices, Palin is not McCain's strongest possible vice presidential choice.

I recently returned from a summer studying Chinese in Beijing. It was an intense summer, to say the least, in a war zone of culture fought in the urban jungle that is Beijing.
