>>>Phyllis Schlafly, James Dobson and the folks at National Review, who usually blame all the ills of modern America on those neurotic, harried, selfish, frustrated, child-neglecting, husband-castrating working mothers<<<

One or more of them may have aired studies concluding that children in families where one parent stayed at home fared better than other children, but as far as I know, the only person actually ranting and raving about parents not staying at home is Dr. Laura Schlessinger.

"Even stranger, her five-months-pregnant 17-year-old, Bristol, gets nothing but compassion and respect from Bill O'Reilly, Rush Limbaugh and others...[rant]..."

Wow! You mean conservatives are human? Gee, who knew?

She should check in on how much pro-life groups donate to unwed mothers.

Pollitt was criticized by Bernard Goldberg, who named her number 74 in his book 100 People Who Are Screwing Up America, because of her 2001 essay “Put Out No Flags.” Goldberg criticized what he perceived to be her lack of patriotism in the time shortly after the September 11th, 2001 attacks.

Admittedly, I’m thinking more in terms of talk radio personalities than in terms of conservative journalists and religious leaders.

We reject the use of women’s rights language to justify invading foreign countries. Instead, we call on the United States government to live up to its expressed commitment to women’s rights through peaceful means.

Finally, we call upon the United States, and all the industrialized nations of the West, to share their unprecedented wealth, often gained at the expense of the developing world, with those who need it in such a way that women benefit.

if I was her doctor, I'd definitely increase her medication.

I think you'd have to make her comatose in order to improve her outlook on life. What a diatribe.

Before children were ghettoized in day care, mothers ably did all their regular work with a child or two in tow or around. It's perfectly natural. She has a baby and brings him along with her. What the heck is wrong with THAT?

When I was a kid, my mom took a lot of odd jobs to make ends meet. Sometimes she "dragged" me along, and I helped her. At times she was a cleaning woman at rich folks penthouses, I'd clean windows while enjoying the view of S.F. Bay. I enjoyed going along on her various odd jobs, so did my 4 siblings when they had their turns. Taught me the value of work. Never knew I was a "prop".

It’s about making sure that there are no indications in society that point out the WRONGNESS of abortion. THAT is the point of their vehemence - reminders of their crime.

John 1 talks about “the light”.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness doesn’t comprehend it.

That’s what we’re seeing.
