Joshua Ostroff: Am I Dad Enough?
The Mommy Wars flared up again last month in time for Mother's Day, thanks to that insta-infamous Time magazine cover of the pretty blonde provocatively breastfeeding her almost-four-year-old beside the inflammatory headline: "Are You Mom Enough?" It talked about attachment parenting, but mostly in the context of mothers. Perhaps it wouldn't be so undermining if men were allowed more than token roles in child-rearing. We may not be able to breastfeed, however, attachment parenting puts so much focus on mothering that it necessarily keeps fathers on the fringes.

Ken Rabow: I Had Not One, But Two Dads

This is what I see everyday in the dads around me.
A BPAS doctor: Why I'm Proud to Be an Abortion Doctor
I work for BPAS, the UK's largest abortion provider, talking to women about and performing abortions up to the legal limit every day. Someone has written that a woman wants an abortion like an animal stuck in a trap wants to chew its leg off. While the imagery is melodramatic, it conveys the panic and stress an unplanned pregnancy can impose. It also communicates something of the relief experienced by women after their abortion; this is one of the things that make being an abortion provider so very rewarding.
Stephen Weir: My, Is That Group of Seven You're Wearing?
Back in the early 70s, Ryerson Polytechnical Institute was Canada's incubator for the practical arts: journalism, radio, television, layout, design, fashion, theatre and photography. I can't remember anything I wrote, but I do remember the photographs. They were outstanding -- cutting edge. None more so than those that came from the camera of Yuri Dojc.
