When I was a child I was unable to go to any type of sleepaway summer camp because of health issues. Once I learned about the Lopez Foundation I knew I wanted to get involved send kids with kidney disease away to camp so they can still experience overnight camp with medical needs at hand.

Three of my children are medical doctors they know at least a hundred times as much about your body as my grandfather knew but they don't know much more about soul than he did.

I've been advised not to have any more children for medical reasons so that's it - the shop has closed even though I would have loved a daughter.

But I contend that if we're providing total medical coverage for every man woman and child in Iraq shouldn't we at least be doing the same thing for every man woman and child in the United States?

In response to our fast-food culture a 'slow food' movement appeared. Out of hurried parenthood a move toward slow parenting could be growing. With vital government supports for state-of-the-art public child care and paid parental leave maybe we would be ready to try slow love and marriage.

Many women cut back what had to be done at home by redefining what the house the marriage and sometimes what the child needs. One woman described a fairly common pattern: I do my half. I do half of his half and the rest doesn't get done.

Legislation to create a new 10 percent tax bracket reduce the marriage penalty cut the tax rate on dividends and capital gains and increase the child tax credit have been essential elements in this economic expansion.

My father was a Catholic but my mother wasn't. She had to do that weird deal you do as a Catholic - they deign to sanction your marriage and you have to bring your children up as Catholics.

More than 1.1 million taxpayers in Pennsylvania will enjoy a lower tax rate more than 1.4 million married couples will benefit from the reduction in the marriage penalty and more than 1.1 million parents will have the advantage of an increased child tax credit.

I'm not that big a fan of marriage as an institution and I don't know why women need to have children to be seen as complete human beings.
