I watched a movie the other day that had lots of S words and even an F bomb in it and was only rated PG. There...

The Supreme Court in Mexico has just ruled that the entire country is to recognize same sex marriage as legal. With both Mexico and Canada now in favor of marriage equality, this makes the United States the only country on the continent that has not legalized same sex marriage, though that...

My friend is a father of two boys, one is five and the other is two. He is a member of the United States Army and is being deployed soon.

Is there ever a time when you would support your spouse if she wanted to get an abortion? Say there's a good chance that your child will miscarry or say it's already dead in the womb. Or what if having the baby would be dangerous to your wife/girlfriend for whatever reason? Or another scenario...

My mother raised me completely without religion, even though she is a Christian. When I was old enough she explained why; she wanted me to make my own choices in the matter. I'm glad she did, I feel like the person I am today is completely my own. Whatever spiritual beliefs I have, I arrived at...

California is considering a law that would make it possible for a child to have more than two legal guardians. I am in favor of this law for two reasons. One, it gives children an extra blanket of protection from being taken by the state in the event that their parents are killed, or deemed...

I was just curious if anyone here has a wife or partner who looks down on you for staying at home and taking care of the children and doing housework while they go to a job? If you'd like, you can vent about it here.
