By Jaclyn Friedman, AlterNet. Posted June 14, 2005.

Bush & Co. sure seem to want a "culture of life" when it comes to abortion, stem cell research, condoms, and permanently comatose women in Florida, but what the heck does a Culture of Life look like?

Contributor Robbie Samuels asks strangers for their definitions, Erin Rollins from Planned Parenthood explores what makes up Bush's culture of life and what we can do about it, and Jill Nelson talks with me about the vibrant and complex culture of life for African Americans on Martha's Vineyard. Plus creative non-fiction from Lisa Vaas, and a musical memorial for the lives of 25,000 Iraqis.

Contribute to Where Your Mouth Is! Upcoming themes include "The Mainstream," "Pride/Patriotism," and the "Ownership Society." Send your stories and story ideas to whereyourmouthis@gmail.com.

Juschka, Canada [Report this comment] Posted by: Juschka on Jun 16, 2005 7:09 AM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] Thanks very much for the cable cast this morning. I enjoyed it very much and have saved it for my class in the Fall(Introduction to Women's Studies). I found the show to be creative, thoughtful, and completely enjoyable. I love the idea of deconstructing certain phrases that go unexamined in social bodies. As I use and teach discourse analysis as a feminist tool, your program is a fine example of this kind of method in action. Bravo.
