Halls, this is one aspect of women's lives they have so fervently opposed throughout their existence. Were we not considered naive, uneducated, and cowtowing to our husbands just a little under 20 years ago by this very group?

I think what has urged this movement to reach stay at home Mothers is that the Moms of today actually make a conservative choice to stay at home and raise our children with a morally correct upbringing. They realize they are out of the loop and we are "untouchable", we are falling through their grasp of their agenda. Not only do they lose our support, but the generation we are raising will not have a great opinion of them either.

Not to mention the fact that they CHOSE to make themselves obsolete within 2 generations. There are about 40 million reasons they find themselves with no base to teach or reach. Of course, they didn't see that coming at the time.

Oh, dear, are they going to go for a "women's work at home needs to be recognized by the government" (i.e., regulated/taxed/harassed). When women stay at home to care for Hub/kids, that frees up a job for a dad, no FICA taxes are paid for, no 401(k) to be raided...it's just awful. And then, what if those at-home moms homeschool....and band together to fight property taxes that go to fund public education of which they do not partake...oh, this could get interesting.

The Concerned Women of America have TONS more members, yet are regularly ignored by the media for opinions on "women's issues," - NOW - go away. We got your number. You're peddling unhappiness and failure and we ain't buying it.
