One line from a 2001 lecture given by Supreme Court nominee Judge Sonia Sotomayor has come under fire. Read for yourself the context within which the line was delivered. The entire lecture is posted on The New York Times website; NOW's link takes readers to the pertinent section on the last page of the transcript.

Jennifer Finney Boylan asks in the New York Times, "Can we have a future in which we are more concerned with the love a family has than with the sometimes unanswerable questions of gender and identity? "

Shelby Knox writes for RH Reality Check, "An entire generation of American teens has been confused, misinformed and endangered by abstinence-only-until-marriage programs like these. They are not just paid for by the federal government; states can't use these dollars for anything else."

Joan Biskupic writes in USA Today: "Three years after Justice Sandra Day O'Connor left the Supreme Court, the impact of having only one woman on the nation's highest bench has become particularly clear to that woman -- Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Her status as the court's lone woman was especially poignant during a recent case involving a 13-year-old girl who had been strip-searched by Arizona school officials looking for drugs."

Helen Benedict writes in The Nation, "The military has been slow to recognize women as real soldiers, unable to shake stereotypes of women who have no business fighting and cannot be relied upon in battle."

Sharon Jayson writes in USA TODAY, "Just how the USA compares with the rest of the world on relationships and family life was a common topic at a conference of the non-profit Council on Contemporary Families. Presenters discussed new research on relationships, sexuality and equality."

Paul Campos writes for the Daily Beast, "Justice may be blind, but not when it comes to weight. Paul Campos reports on the bizarre campaign to find a woman to replace David Souter on the High Court—as long as she’s thin."

Erin Digitale writes for a Stanford School of Medicine press release, "Health Web sites that tell teens about sex are often riddled with errors and omissions, according to new research from Lucile Packard Children's Hospital and the Stanford University School of Medicine. Myths about birth control, sexually transmitted diseases and Pap exams are not dispelled even on several sites reviewed by doctors, the study found."

Courtesy of RH Reality Check on YouTube, "Sec. Hillary Clinton responds to a question about the role of U.S. government supporting access to safe abortion, contraception, maternal health care and education abroad with a vigorous defense of reproductive rights and family planning."

Ruth Marcus writes in the Washington Post, "I'd like to thank Sarah Palin for her bravery in explaining the importance of a woman's right to choose. Even braver, the Alaska governor made her eloquent case for choice at a right-to-life fundraising dinner."

NOW President Kim Gandy was interviewed for ABC's World News Tonight about same-sex classes in public schools.

In POLITICO's "Answer This" section, NOW President Kim Gandy was interviewed by Patrick Gavin in a personal Q&A session. Some of the questions -- and answers -- may come as a surprise.

In the Washington Post, Emma Graham-Harrison writes, "Afghan women staged rival demonstrations on Wednesday for and against a new family law, which opponents denounce as a step back toward the oppressiveness of the Taliban era but supporters say defends Islamic justice."

Associated Press Writer Ed White writes, "The Michigan High School Athletic Association has agreed to pay $6 million in legal fees to the winners of a landmark case that changed the seasons for girls’ basketball and volleyball."

Michael O'Donnell writes in the Nation, "A colleague of mine recently argued an important civil rights case before the Supreme Court. In the hectic days before she left for Washington, as she reread every relevant decision and practiced clearing her throat, her attention was diverted by a niggling question: what would she wear to the oral argument? A fellow lawyer had set her to worrying by telling the cautionary tale of a female assistant solicitor general who some years earlier had shown up to court in what then-Chief Justice Rehnquist apparently regarded as an unlovely shade of brown. Halfway through her presentation, Rehnquist sent a note to the solicitor general, saying that he never wanted to see a government attorney wearing that color to the court again."
