is a jazz critic for the Village Voice.  He is also an advocate for preserving our civil rights, particularly our First Amendment rights.  He promotes these rights regardless of the political views of the people for whom he is fighting.  He is a hero for mothers and allies of mothers who try to do the best for children, even when they are going against the cultural norm.  He has earned his spot on this page for a more dramatic reason.  He was the first widely known feminist liberal journalist to break from the norm to proclaim himself prolife.  He has been excoriated for his shocking disclosure.  As an atheist, he lacked even a religious church or temple to succor him.  He is a shining light in the movement known as "the consistent ethic of life."  His prolife views are founded on compassion and the deepest commitment to the civil rights of all.  He exemplifies "Live and let live."
