Pro-Life America is Bipartisan, Mr. President

March 9, 2010 by Ericka

First posted on Smart Girl Nation:Since Democrat Rep. Bart Stupak made abortion a defining issue in the health care debate, we’ve seen a landslide of human interest stories surrounding the topic. It has put the emotion-laden argument on a pedestal, but has ultimately been a winner for the pro-life community. Stats show that more Americans are pro-life than pro-choice for the first time and the trend is only growing. It’s an interesting dichotomy within the younger generation of the conservative world. As more young voters support gay marriage, less support abortion and this is true on the Right and the Left.For some reason, President Obama will not strike out the abortion language in the health care bill, despite it being the specific piece … [Read more...]

My One Thing

March 2, 2010 by Ericka

Being a Christian is one of the only certainties in my life. I'm a thinker, a questioner, and my mind is rarely settled. I wonder and I worry and I ponder, rarely satisfied with the realities of life. I struggle to understand how some people don't think deeply about issues. How do you not wonder if something is right or wrong? How do you not feel overwhelming compassion or empathy when faced with the struggles people are going through around the world -- or in your back yard? Some people are born with simpler minds. Writing this all out sounds conceited but that's not what I mean it to be. My friend Tiffany and I often talk about this scenario -- how we both feel the world so deeply, soaking up every issue with opinion and emotion. We read … [Read more...]

I Am a Smart Girl

March 2, 2010 by Ericka

*First published on BlogHer.It's my second post on BlogHer and I wanted to share with you a profile piece that was written about me on the website, Smart Girl Nation. I like to be involved in a host of different organizations and projects. Both BlogHer and Smart Girl Politics are important to me! As part of getting to know me over on this site, I wanted to direct you to the profile that explains some of my background as a conservative communicator.Being involved in politics is certainly a passion of mine. I believe we all have a responsibility to pay attention, stay involved, vote and more in order to hold our leaders responsible and keep the government honest and small. You can see an excerpt of the piece below:While Ericka Andersen grew … [Read more...]

Hold Up, Mr. Perfect

February 17, 2010 by Ericka

I've recently become obsessed with Bravo's "Millionaire Matchmaker" -- almost entirely due to the show's host and creator, Patti Stanger. I used to shun the world of reality TV but both The Bachelor and Millionaire have stolen my heart, so to speak. Why do I love Patti? Let me count the ways. She's fun, she's direct, she's confident and she's no feminista when it comes to dating. The show takes young millionaires looking for love and screens girls interested in them to set them up in matchmaker heaven. Patti believes in women being women and men being men. She demands her guys be perfect gentlemen and assesses each first date with the cruel tsking every clueless dater needs to hear. I've had a recent dating epiphany and so dating shows are … [Read more...]
