Everything about the left is equalizing differences. An attractive woman will attract a man, who many be willing to risks including marrying her in order to have sex with her. An unattractive woman does not get that same option of a man who will marry her if she gets pregnant. So, by having abortion legal, it removes that risk of her getting pregnant and increases her options of having sex with any man that would have sex with her. It's basically a tradeoff of getting a little bit of attention by agreeing to remove the risk of a permanent bond...

The Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade inspired an outpouring of grief, anguish and political opprobrium from feminists and abortion rights supporters. [Including from] Dave Portnoy, the media mogul and Barstool Sports president better known for his viral pizza reviews, unrepentant aggro-masculinity and social media trolling than for pro-choice activism (or, for that matter, critique of originalist legal theory). Last summer, I wrote about how Portnoy’s particular brand of transgressive boorishness served as an inspiration to Republican politicians eager to capitalize on the backlash to newly established progressive social norms around things like gender pronoun usage and diversity, equity...

. . . Do we need still another Watergate book?” *** The Post also credits Graff’s “prodigious research,” while echoing his conclusion that “we’ll never know the full truth of Watergate” ... If observations like these are used to justify a new 679-page history, one may ask, why bother? Why read a book that throws up its hands and says, “Who knows? One answer comes in Graff’s treatment of two seminal revisionist works, Jim Hougan’s 1984 Secret Agenda and Len Colodny’s 1991 Silent Coup. These two works, in fact, solve quite convincingly many of the mysteries Graff contends are still...

From the 1980's onwards, the U.S. mortality rate started falling behind its peers. By 2019, the number of missing Americans had grown to 626,000. After COVID arrived, that statistic ballooned even further—to 992,000 in 2020, and to 1.1 million in 2021. Were the U.S. just average compared to other wealthy countries, not even the best performer, fully a third of all deaths last year would have been prevented. That includes half of all deaths among working-age adults. Think of two people you might know under 65 who died last year: One of them might still be alive. These counterfactuals puncture...
