If it was about the baby....there would be social programs to take care of the baby

22. That IS the GOP jobs plan! Half the workforce at home; others at slave wages; yes, they mean it.

There is no mistaking what the plan is. And the ones who believe they will benefit by that state of affairs think they will be sitting pretty just as they did in the past.

And they had unions then, but some didn't allow 'the others' in. It was a cultural thing where people did not always unite, even though some did.

The GOP speaks openly of putting women back in the home, dependent on their spouse, no need for public education as the mothers can do that at home. They consider this to be the natural order of things. If one doesn't fit into that way of life, they can FOAD.

There are so many parts of society pushing this, not only churches, but media and amateur sociologists. They have an answer for everything.

The fact is, the official unemployment problem would be gone and the money for those in it would increase, with the women at home and the others kept invisible. That is how it was done for centuries. Brute force and no voice.

Not expressing this very well, but I'm getting ready to go out. The way the Taliban treats women trying to be educated and without spouses, the sale of children in many poor nations to the sex and labor market is a reality.

I've never seen anything that reminds me so much of those girls trying to go to school in Afghanistan, as the accepted sight of women running the gauntlet to get to a clinic in America.

it's the same message - stay in your place, in your home, or we'll kill you. I think that's what a great deal of the rape culture is about, as well. If a girl or woman was kept locked up, she'd only by raped by one man, and they would not call it that.

Gotta go.
