How Personhood Bills Could Take Away Birth Control and End Abortion Access
In the latest issue of the journal Fertility and Sterility, the president of the American Society of Reproductive Medicine, Richard J. Paulson, MD, puts a call to action out to his fellow scientists, saying that they have a special obligation to correct “unscientific conclusions attributed to science” — especially when these conclusions have to do with when life begins. First, the new Republican-led Congress introduced a bill that would create a federal definition of “personhood,” or the entity of human life, stipulating that it begins at fertilization. Next, 10 states — Alabama, Arkansas, Iowa, Indiana, Kansas, South Carolina, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas, and Washington — have also introduced similar personhood or fetal rights’ bills in their respective legislatures in the past few months.

StyleSarah CristobalMadonna Tells Dolce & Gabbana To "Think Before You Speak"
Photo: Getty Madonna has had a busy few days. She’s performing on Ellen everyday this week (entertaining guests like Justin Bieber) while also promoting her 13th studio album Rebel Heart, which has already reached top billing on the Billboard 200. So we understand why she may be a little late to chime into the whole Dolce & Gabbana kerfuffle involving their stance on “non-traditional” (read: gay) families and children that were conceived via IVF. Their comments, published in Italy’s Panorama magazine, insinuated that IVF produces “children of chemistry, synthetic children. Uteruses for rent, semen chosen from a catalog.” Elton John, who had two sons via IVF, was among the first to respond, calling for a boycott of Dolce & Gabbana products.
