I didn’t want to make her introduction yesterday because it was such a busy Columnist section day for us, but I was anxious to pass on that another columnist has joined our team, in the name of Jennifer Roback Morse. Her Doctorate degree is in Economics.
Jennifer Roback Morse Ph.D., brings a unique perspective to the subjects of love, marriage, sexuality, and the family. A committed career woman before having children, she taught economics for fifteen years at Yale and George Mason University. She and her husband adopted a two-year-old Romanian boy in 1991, the same year she gave birth to a baby girl. Dr. Morse left full-time university teaching in 1996 to move with her family to California. She has been associated with the Hoover Institution at Stanford University and is now a Research Fellow at the Acton Institute for the Study of Religion and Liberty. Her current book is Smart Sex – Finding Life-Long Love in a Hook-Up World (Spence Publishing). Her previous book is Love and Economics: Why the Laissez-Faire Family Doesn’t Work. (Spence, 2001). In addition to caring for their own two children, Dr. Morse and her husband are foster parents for San Diego County.
Her website is Join the Marriage Revolution.
Jennifer Roback Morse writes very provacative columns and is sure to heat things up in Canada as we present her column to Canadians for perhaps the first time—an audience unaccustomed to such unabashed honesty and non-liberal thought.
Her first entry here, called “Is there a right to have a baby?”, provides a clue. Here’s just the first paragraph:
Reproductive freedom is usually a code-word for abortion on demand. But the right to terminate a pregnancy is only the right to say “no” to having a baby. Full reproductive freedom would include the right to pregnancy on demand, analogous to abortion on demand. A California case in which a lesbian couple is suing an infertility clinic suggests we may be closer than we think to establishing a right to have a baby. And far from being an advance for women’s liberty, this development would be a disaster for everyone’s freedom. We need to look closely at the public relations case in favor of the lesbian couple’s claim to see why.
