WASHINGTON, D.C. - Family Research Council (FRC) will host a live webcast lecture today about marketplace exploitation of women and girls. Paige Cunningham, J.D., will discuss how practices such as sex-selective abortion, reproductive tourism and basic healthcare denial are aided by cultural, religious and economic factors to discriminate against and exploit women and girls throughout their lives. Cunningham will discuss a Christian approach to bioethics that affirms the dignity of women and girls, and resists the harmful excesses of radical autonomy and embraces compassionate respect.
Paige Comstock Cunningham, J.D., is the executive director of The Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity. She is a Fellow at the Institute for Biotechnology and the Human Future, and a Trustee of Taylor University.
