The attitudes of Millenials represent more than a mere generation gap between younger and older voters in the population -- they constitute a political chasm when it comes to the policies of the two major parties.

Latinas are the country's youngest and fastest growing population; our reproductive health affects the entire nation across many communities.
The main thing I draw from the Anthony Weiner incident is that the greater shame is in our puerile culture and how the media feeds the frenzy. On its own face their actions are ludicrous and the well-paid media honchos should be equally ashamed.
Those who wish to limit abortion should shift their energies out of the realms of the courts, legislatures, and deceptive tactics, and focus on steps that really prevent unwanted pregnancies.
Consider three Americans: a gay businessman who wants to lower taxes; a scientist who teaches evolution but opposes amnesty for the illegal; an agnost...
People sometimes derive law about abortion from a biblical law in which someone, in the course of a fight, strikes a pregnant woman, and she goes into labor.
I was shocked to recently hear my opponent in the race for California's 36th Congressional District, Craig Huey, attempt to downplay the relevance of ...
Chances are you've never heard of Estelle Griswold. But she radically changed the lives of women in America. Forty-six years ago today, her courage secured a basic right of women to use birth control to plan and time our pregnancies and to keep our families healthy.
For decades, Latinos have been portrayed as "Republicans in training" by hopeful GOP operatives. After all, we were told, they are Roman Catholic, fam...
I confront the polarizing topic of abortion with equal measures of trepidation and resolve to state: I am emphatically pro-choice. And I am just as emphatically anti-abortion.
The truth is that those on the U.S. right are about as "pro-life" as Arnold Schwarzenegger is pro-wife. Or Dominique Strauss Kahn is pro-maid.
Gary Johnson is not your typical presidential candidate. He sounds like your typical Republican when he talks about balancing budgets, fiscal constraint and taxes. But he's stronger on social freedom than all but a handful of Democrats.
The Republicans repeatedly say "F you" to everyone in this country except for the elite wealthy and big corporations. The party has moved so far to the right, its core policies are far out of the American mainstream.
A larger view of life, as seen through the eyes of Jesus, informs us that the life of a homeless person begging on the street corner is just as sacred as the life of a president of the state.
The United States has a long way to go to ensure access to age-appropriate, comprehensive sex education and modern contraception.
Amid all the hostility among people of faith, many of us reserve our most potent venom for people of our own faith: those who disagree with us, that is.
I am thankful to you, Planned Parenthood, for fighting all these years to maintain the right to safe, legal abortion.
When President Barack Obama's birth certificate was released, I was looking forward to hearing the birthers say they were sorry for their attack on Obama. How naïve could I possibly have been?
The House GOP's attempts to restrict women's rights are for show, yes. But while Congress rattles its saber, pro-choice advocates should not be distracted from the real fights it has inspired in the states.
When Obama was elected president, reproductive rights advocates hoped that we had found a champion. But his failure to lead on the reproductive rights front has exemplified the high price of standing still.
While the number of anti-choice bills we are tracking this year is similar in number to past years, they are some of the most extreme that we've seen in decades and are passing at a faster rate than in the past.
