Alexander Sanger has written a book about the legacy of his grandmother Margaret Sanger and her battles effects on reproductive freedoms in the 21st century. Beyond Choice looks to be an interesting book and Liza Mundy's review seems to be adequately fair. Here's an excerpt: Now Alexander Sanger wants to bring back the pregnancy-as-disease argument, as a way of saving the reproductive rights movement from its current rather battered state. There's no doubt that abortion rights advocates need a new rationale, a fresh and persuasive argument. While the recent rally on the Mall shows the deep support that remains for both legalized abortion and contraception, the very occurrence of the march suggests that abortion rights adherents are rattled by the antiabortion movement's recent legislative successes. With the Unborn Victims of Violence Act, in particular, the antiabortion movement has succeeded in elevating the status of the fetus, creating legal justification for the argument that even early life has rights. At the same time, medical science in the form of ultrasound is making that life visible to all, causing many Americans, regardless of ideology, to rethink their views on the fetus. As William Saletan argued in a recent article on Slate.com, the challenge now for the pro-choice movement is to show that it's not just woman-friendly but child-friendly; it must find a way to bring the idea of family back into family planning.I have to admit that my stance is very similar to Alexander's and call me naive but it seems as though it is the stance of most who favor choice. If a potential parent is simply not in a space to carry a child: financially, emotionally, or physically then it seems pretty obvious that having or not having the child should be an option. I am of the belief that the value in human beings comes from what other human beings invest in them. I do not believe for a moment in the theory that humans have value a priori. That just strikes me as just so much arrogance. Perhaps the publisher will send me a review copy and I'll be in a position to say more about Sanger's book. I've never worked with PublicAffairs before so I have no contacts over there. I'll post further on this if and when I end up reading it.

I think it's safe to assume that if Bush retains the office he now inhabits the bombings & assasinations of abortion doctors and staff will begin again in the not too distant future.

With the incipient removal of Nonoxynol-9 from products, such as condoms, which come in contact with your mucus membranes (read your vagina or meatus) you'd think we'd be getting to the bottom of the chemical soup to which we expose ourselves. But no. The Chemical and Veterinary Investigation Institute in Stuttgart, Germany has just released a study showing that when the latex in condoms comes in contact with your bodily fluids it can release the substance N-Nitrosamine. N-Nitrosamine has long been known to be a potential problem and when labor in manufacturing concerns which produce latex or rubber they are required to wear the proper equipment to prevent exposure to the chemical. When exposed to this potent animal carcinogen there are risks of cancer, in addition to possible headaches, fever, weakness, or among other problems, jaundice. This same chemical is a risk in any and all rubber products, even those such as rubber baby nipples, to give one example. It is not clear from the article whether or not latex allergies (to the milk protein used in the manufacture of latex) have been factored into the study. Also of interest is what exactly exposure to bodily fluids really means. When using a latex condom properly with an adequate amount of lubricant the actual exposure to bodily fluids is far less than would be the case in a non-lubricated condom. So there are many questions I have from this study. UPDATE If you are interested here is a paper on the use of accelerators in latex manufacture, protein allergies, & N-Nitrosamine.
