It’s a shame Democrats feel they have to apologize for uttering what is quite simply true: “The purpose of public education in public schools is not to teach kids only what parents want them to be taught.” Why is there a controversy here? apple.news/ASnTqxONtRWuVd…

I’ll be presenting next week as part of this book panel. The session is open to all. My chapter makes the case that virtue concepts can help science teachers counter naive student ideas about the nature of science, and about values and science. facebook.com/philinquiry/ph…

Just got off the phone with Audrey Lance, an abortion provider with Northland Family Planning in Michigan. Abortions still avail in MI due to court preliminary injunction, but Lance says her team is "devastated" and "crying."

On top of the tragedy of today’s ruling, the legitimacy of the court is collapsed. Several justices are now demonstrable liars.

We knew Roe would be overturned. But it's no less horrifying. Here in Michigan, a 1931 law that makes providing abortion a felony just became the law of the state. Here’s what we’re doing in Michigan to protect our right to abortion – and what YOU can do to fight back. 1/

I’ve said it once, and I’ll say it a thousand times: The treatment for an ectopic pregnancy, a septic uterus, or a miscarriage that your body won’t release is abortion. If you can’t get those abortions, you die. You. Die.

Curio had produced this lovely reading of my recent Psyche essay, “Why you shouldn’t shrink from challenging your loved one’s views.” Have a listen!

Michigan's licensing and regulatory agency, LARA, just confirmed they told abortion providers today that they are legally protected for performing abortions. That's thanks to a judge's preliminary injunction blocking the state's 1932 abortion ban from taking effect.
