CHRISTY STUTZMAN: Moms unite against gun-free zones
As the mom of a high schooler, choosing the right college is a major point of discussion at our house these days. We're asking a lot of questions like: Does it offer reasonable tuition? Should it be close to home or far away? Does it offer the right training for the major he is considering?

CHRISTY STUTZMAN: The new currency of offense
There's a new currency gaining prominence in American culture; it's the currency of offense.

This particular currency uses the leverage of impugned guilt, and promises gratifying profits in the form of entitlements, forced cultural acceptance and indignation.

No amount of bragging rights about diversity in the ranks is worth failure in a mission or injury to our warriors. If the standards are lowered for women Marines, what makes the institution elite?
CHRISTY STUTZMAN: The pro-life generation
They say that ladies never reveal their age, but for once, I will reveal mine in hopes of making a point. I was born in 1973, the year that the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Roe v. Wade. As much as I don't like the name, I'm a member of "Generation X," whatever that means. I'd suggest that we might be earning ourselves a new name soon, and it has to do with the "Right to Life" movement.
