Law Students for Reproductive Justice (LSRJ) was founded in January 2003 by Cari Sietstra, a 2002 graduate of Stanford Law School. The organization's mission is to “trai[n] and mobiliz[e] law students and new lawyers across the country to foster legal expertise and support for the realization of reproductive justice.”
LSRJ defines reproductive justice as the empowerment of those who historically have been “most affected by reproductive restrictions and oppressions,” to “exercise the rights and access the resources they need to thrive and to decide whether, when, and how to have and parent children with dignity, free from discrimination, coercion, or violence.”

Law Students for the Nanny State: Law Students for Reproductive Justice
The “Young Co-Ed” and the Contraception Controversy
An in-depth look at Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown Law student who demands that health insurers pay for birth control, abortifacients, abortions, and sterilization procedures – even at religious institutions that object to such requirements on moral grounds.
Born in 1981, Sandra Fluke graduated from Cornell University in 2003 with bachelor's degrees in (a) Policy Analysis & Management, and (b) Feminist, Gender, & Sexuality Studies. She subsequently worked with the New York City-based Sanctuary for Families, which provides services for victims of domestic violence and sex trafficking. Fluke also interned with the NOW Legal Defense and Education Fund and a number of other organizations dealing with those two issues.
Crackdown in Iran Hits Official Churches
Authorities target Isfahan’s Anglicans, as well as ‘underground’ Christians.
ISTANBUL, March 16 (Compass Direct News) – In a rare crackdown on a concentrated area, Iranian authorities have arrested Christians living in the country’s third largest city in what is seen as a tactic to discourage Muslims and converts to Christianity from attending official churches.
Since last month officials have arrested about 12 Christian converts in Isfahan, 340 kilometers (211 miles) south of Tehran. Authorities have arrested leaders and members of churches meeting in buildings, as well as some from underground churches, according to Mohabat News.
Calls for Heredia of the Arizona Democratic Party to Retract Slanderous Statements
Fighting Back for America | Spencer demands retraction of false and defamatory remarks
Acting through his lawyer, John Munger, Glenn Spencer has demanded that Louis Heredia, Executive Director of the Arizona Democratic Party, publicly retract statements he made accusing Spencer of anti-Semitism and racism.
Islam's Tradition of Breaking the Cross
In the recent destruction of Commonwealth war graves in Benghazi, Libya (YouTube Video), you can see not just the desecration of graves, but attacks on crosses.
The radical Muslims who are kicking over and smashing headstones marked with crosses (and one with a Star of David), also took pains to demolish a tall "Cross of Sacrifice" standing at the edge of the cemetery.
This was no "furious mob" on a "rampage," as a Daily Mail report put it. Nor was there any evidence in what they were saying that they were angry or reacting to Koran burning by the US military.
The Obama War on Elderly Seniors & Military Retirees
March 10, 2012 By now most of America should know the Obama Administration looks for the easiest targets when it plans to redistribute the taxpayer bounty of America. This has been proven time and time again by administration’s actions. It hates fossil fuels, so the plans are for higher taxes on “Big Oil” and more tax funded subsidies and bailouts for alternative energy. It has several programs to bail out those so-called delinquent “under water” mortgage holders, while nothing is done to ease the burdens of those millions of homeowners who still manage to pay their high mortgages on time.
Name-Calling Hypocrisy Is No Fluke
President Obama made a compassionate call to Sandra Fluke because Rush Limbaugh had wrongfully called her a “slut” on national radio. Limbaugh was wrong. Limbaugh can be pompous. While I may share some of his views, I don’t approve of overt disrespect. Regardless of political positions, calling any woman dirty names is low class and far from funny. It speaks more about the name caller, than the name-callee.
