    To my sisters who marched on Washington

    By Jenny Uebbing

    I wanted to write something snarky. I wanted to dash off line after line of statistics and data supporting the appalling abuse committed against women and children in the name of “progress” and “equality.” I wanted to drop…

    The power of language and the witness of words

    By Jenny Uebbing

    It is a curious time to be a Catholic Christian. (Is it ever not, though? I think maybe we all fall prey to a little good old fashioned chronological snobbery, whether or not we care to admit…

    Why not just use birth control? {some possible “right” answers}

    By Jenny Uebbing

    I field a good number of questions along the lines of “how do I explain to my boss/neighbor/mother-in-law/college bff why we don’t use contraception?” This tends to be an especially sticky conversation when the questioner in the scenario happens to…

    The unsexiness of death (or what ‘Me Before You’ is missing)

    By Jenny Uebbing

    One of these days I’m going to write a nice, fluffy post aaaaaaall about my favorite organic non-hormone disrupting eco-friendly non-GMO spray sunscreen. Or something like that. Today is not that day. This weekend marks the opening…

    Gorillas, internet mobs, and the culture of the living dead

    By Jenny Uebbing

    “The moral status of an infant is equivalent to that of a fetus in the sense that both lack those properties that justify the attribution of a right to life to an individual . . . what we…

    Is having kids “sustainable?”

    By Jenny Uebbing

    (Perhaps I could have called this one “does green sex = green babies?” but older, wiser Jenny is actually a little embarrassed to have gotten that term rolling.) A couple months back a reader messaged me with a good…

    Zika, abortion, and contraceptive imperialism

    By Jenny Uebbing

    You knew I was going to write about this, right? I can’t help myself. My newsfeed is filling up with blustering outrage and hand wringing over the Zika virus – a heinous incurable disease with dire consequences…

    Supporting Mary’s Shelter

    By Jenny Uebbing

    *Update: now with a working Paypal link. (hashtag technology idiot) If you all remember last year around this time we did a little fundraiser/charitable giving effort on behalf of Mary’s Shelter – a home for women in crisis pregnancy situations/moms…

    If the worst thing that happens to my kids

    By Jenny Uebbing

    … is that they have to work harder and share more than the average middle class child of the 21st century, then I’m okay with that. I’m more than okay, in fact. A couple days ago I…

    The surprisingly high cost of #treatyoself (and book winners!)

    By Jenny Uebbing

    Today is going to be a little scattershot (gosh, I think I just fulfilled a lifelong and previously unconscious desire to use that in a sentence), so I hope you’ll bear with me? It’s Monday, after all.…
