Today is International Women’s Day! In addition to the usual, today’s top links were chosen because they discuss women and religion, women in science (at least for a day), and reproductive health. I would also highly recommend the piece by Peter Hitchens and the expose on Scientology, which I know a lot of you are fascinated with. Submit your links in The News Thread or the comments. Theme suggestions are also welcome.

On Christopher: “He often assumes that moral truths are self-evident, attributing purpose to the universe and swerving dangerously round the problem of conscience – which surely cannot be conscience if he is right since the idea of conscience depends on it being implanted by God. If there is no God then your moral qualms might just as easily be the result of indigestion.”
