		<description><![CDATA[The pervasive oppression of women and girls is humanity’s greatest travesty. Consider these facts: The leading cause of death for pregnant women is homicide. Women and girls ages 15 to 44 are more likely to be maimed or killed by men than by malaria, cancer, war or traffic accidents combined. The children most at risk [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Soon it comes to every person, see it happen in one black curtain. &#8211; Paul Pissarro Death is ever-present and life is ever-shrinking. For some, death is an obsession, for others, barely an afterthought. The concept of eternal non-existence is unthinkable, mortifying beyond words. If that&#8217;s the fate that awaits us, it&#8217;s a wonder that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Salon&#8217;s Glenn Greenwald has spent the duration of Obama&#8217;s presidency asking a fundamental question of the left: Why are George W. Bush&#8217;s transgressions, which elicited fury from Democrats and liberals, acceptable when President Obama adopts &#8211; and embraces &#8211; them? In a recent post, Glenn decries the intellectual dishonesty he sees reflected in a Washington [...]]]></description>
