 'Walking Wallets and One-Stop Sperm Shops': How Men Fear That Women See Them in the Postmodern Reproductive Age1 Jan 2005
Lyndal Dornan may not be a household name, but the way she has chosen to live her life-and to speak proudly and publicly about it-is likely to strike terror in many men's hearts. Dornan had long told friends and family that if she didn't have a partner she would have a baby on her own. When she did conceive one night after purposely 'forgetting' to use contraception, she began decorating the nursery, informing the father that he could be as involved or uninvolved as he wished. Lyndall admits to having a hard time "picture[ing] [her]self in a conventional relationship", and argues that single parenting can often be easier because, when decisions need to be made about her needs or the child's, she doesn't have to consult or defer to someone else. |

What, No Baby? takes us on journey into the lives of contemporary women who plan to have it all - marriage, motherhood and work - yet have been derailed by reluctant men, insatiably demanding jobs and ever-climbing expectations of what it takes to be a "good" mother.
The Abortion Myth forges a new women-centred abortion ethic capable of preserving a woman's right to control her body and her freedom to choose or reject motherhood.
