Those are good finds , Keith. If we leave aside the patently false assertions about book banning and evolution, and the misinterpretation of Palin’s remarks at her former church, we can focus on Doniger’s remarks on womanhood. Doniger articulates beliefs that many pro-choice people appear to hold, albeit less strongly. This may seem like stating the obvious, but I think that’s worth doing:

According to Doniger, it’s not just that Sarah Palin is against women, it’s that all pro-life men and women are against women. It’s not just that Sarah Palin is not a woman for being pro-life, it’s that no woman who is pro-life is really a woman.

Dear Reader,

While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.

Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?

Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.

How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
