We all have defining moments in our lives. Usually they are moments marked by the birth of a child or sadly by the death of a loved one….maybe a new job, a move to a new state and so much more. One of my most defining moments can be said in two words “Kunta Kinte.” […]
My first response to the news that a judge in Brazil cited gender equality as a reason for decriminalizing abortion in that country is “Gender equality?!?
