This website acts under the blanket of Princeton’s Office of Population Research, which receives an annual $11 million grant from the National Institute of Health. This website was founded in 1994 by current director, Professor James Trussell. Trussell is one of the pre-eminent American authorities on emergency contraception. He serves on the board of directors at NARAL Pro-Choice America, and has published upwards of twenty articles concerning emergency contraception. It was not surprising to find, therefore, that the expressed purpose of Professor Trussell’s website is to The articles herein do not reflect the views of the “educate women about Emergency Contraception and encourage its broader Princeton Journal of Bioethics or its affiliates. use.” According to Professor Trussell, in 1994, when the website began, “very few people knew about emergency contraception.” Today, the website is accessed by 130,000 people in 50 countries over 575,000 times per month. Inevitably among its viewers are women who are under 17 years old (a segment of the population that emergency contraception has not been tested on). Neverthe- less, the website encourages underage girls to access Emergency Contraceptives without their parents’ permission, and to avoid doctors who will not keep such information away from their parents. This article discusses the problems with Princeton University hosting such a website. If one were to type the phrase “emergency contraception” into the Google search bar, one would expect to find among the first results Planned Parenthood, or some other “reproductive health” organization. It would come as quite a surprise, then, to learn that the very top result, ahead of all these other groups, is the website ec.princeton.edu. This Princeton-domain address is also listed along with Planned Parenthood and the FDA on the government website womenshealth.gov as a resource for “more information” about emergency contraception. When this site came to our attention, therefore, I and some other writers for the Princ- eton Tory Magazine were curious about the nature of both its content and its Princeton sponsorship. 1 The Princeton Journal of Bioethics Princeton Bioethics Conference The website is operated by the Princeton Office of Population The website includes a brand-by-brand comparison of pills by company, Research (OPR), established in 1936 as the very first center for research on dosage, and hormone levels per dose. It even analyzes the effectiveness and populations. OPR’s “public infrastructure core” consists of four branches: side effects of selected pills, specifically Plan B, Plan B One-Step, and Next the Population Annual Meeting Program Application, which manages “the Choice. scientific program of the annual meeting of the Population Association of While the amount of information and detail that this website America”; Research Briefs, which “summarize the core findings of recent holds may be considered admirable, ec.princeton.edu goes beyond merely analyses based upon data collected for the Fragile Families and Child Well- providing “neutral” information. It forms a core part of Trussell’s avowed being Survey”; the Future of Children journal, which is concerned with in- mission to increase the use of emergency contraception worldwide, and fluencing policy to “better the lives of children now and in the future”; and a very effective part at that: 130,000 people from over 50 countries view the emergency contraception website ec.princeton.edu. This website was this website a total of 575,000 times per month. It is published in English, established in 1994 by current director, Professor James Trussell, to educate Spanish, French, and Arabic. women about Emergency Contraception and to encourage its broader use. Teenage girls under 17 who have engaged in unprotected sex and Prof. Trussell, a Professor of Economics and Public Affairs at the are looking for answers are inevitably among such viewers.

Michael showed me that getting something written is more important than writing something perfectly; the former is necessary for the latter. Peter Dalton is an exceptional philosopher, and thanks to his guidance I made it through my first few years of graduate school at Florida State. This dissertation has been improved greatly thanks to his thorough comments; I cannot thank him enough, however, the mistakes that remain are all mine. Many people sacrificed so that I could write and finish this dissertation, none more than Darlene Deas. Her loving support throughout the entire dissertation writing process has been nothing less than heroic.

    exactly who are men here waiting for... 135 upvotes | 10 July, 2020 | by the_purring_jew ...to start the campaign for "mandatory" paternity testing and paper abortions? where is the lobbying group and the non-profit? why arent you all banding together to propose legislation? or at least some of you? who are you waiting on to do it? Archived from theredarchive.com www.TheRedArchive.com Page 1 of 65 Comments Smoogs2 • 68 points • 10 July, 2020 01:30 PM* I'm not sure it's a matter of waiting for anything? It's just a philosophical framework being used to debate. There is no requirement to do anything if you say... wish humans colonize Mars. That being said.... https://mensrights.com/mandatory-dna-testing/ You also don't have to wait for anything? Here is one of the lobbying groups for mandatory paternity testing from a member of the board of directors of the national organization Fathers & Families.

Smoogs2 • 12 points • 10 July, 2020 01:58 PM It doesn't make very much sense to me? It's like asking "what are you waiting for by wanting humans to colonize Mars?" Firstly, you can want humans to go to Mars without doing shit besides shitposting online about the benefits of human space exploration as a philosophical concept and secondly, there are already entities that exist who are pursuing the idea. yasee • 11 points • 10 July, 2020 04:35 PM I don't really agree with the tone of the OP but this rally outside of hospitals and court houses is what activists do.

  • The Rational Male Free
    FREE THE RATIONAL MALE PDF Rollo Tomassi | 302 pages | 01 Oct 2013 | Createspace Independent Publishing Platform | 9781492777861 | English | United States The Rational Male - Positive Masculinity by Rollo Tomassi Some of it might end you hating women instead of realizing how they work. However, in this rational male summary, I will only put my thoughts of it at the The Rational Male of the post and highlighted in between. Disclaimer : I still recommend reading the whole book. You might get the message wrong. See it as a glimpse into it or to cement your buying decision. It basically revolves around desire and power dynamics which have been shifted to the feminine in our society. Being a man is not inherently bad. The Rational Male book goes over the reasons why that is. Why women go for jerks, even though they always say differently. It teaches you the necessary information about both sexes and how to navigate the sexual marketplace. Plus, mistakes you have been making in your approach and living with women in general. This term describes a man being obsessed with one woman which a lot of guys seem to have these days. In short: There are almost 4 billion women out there, why do you think only this one will do? And a lot of guys fall into that trap with just a random woman they happen to get into, just because she probably took a few facials, he feels like she is the one. The secret to relationships lies in one simple power dynamic which has been touched by other Authors multiple times: The person with the least interest in the relationship has the power.

The Journal of medicine and philosophy 2011 Jun; 36(3): 261­73 Abstract: In Defending Life: A Moral and Legal Case Against Abortion Choice (2007) and an earlier article in this journal, "Defending Abortion Philosophically"(2006), Francis Beckwith argues that fetuses are, from conception, prima facie wrong to kill. His arguments are based on what he calls a "metaphysics of the human person" known as "The Substance View." I argue that Beckwith's metaphysics does not support his abortion ethic: Moral, not metaphysical, claims that are part of this Substance View are the foundation of the argument, and Beckwith inadequately defends these moral claims. Thus, Beckwith's arguments do not provide strong support for what he calls the "pro­life" view of abortion.
