"A society that denies and demeans women's rights and roles is a society that is more likely to engage in behavior that is negative, anti-democratic, and leads to violence and extremism."
~Hillary Clinton speaking to PPFA
Finally! Something said by Clinton that I can actually agree with!
Our society has denied and demeaned a woman's right and role as mother in many negative, anti-democratic, violent, and extreme ways! By trying to claim "equality" with men, women have denied themselves one of their most beautiful and unique aspects of life.
Look at Mary, the Mother of God and greatest of all creatures. Why was she the greatest of all creations? Because she was given the honor of Mother of God. The greatest creature is a mother and because she is a mother! How much better can you get???
We now live in a society where women are told that being a mother isn't good enough. They need careers and "choice." This has resulted in the extremely negative and violent destruction of over 50 million human beings in America. This attitude has taken away the "unalienable right to life", which is explicitly stated in our Declaration of Independence. Democratic? I think not. This extremist attitude of women's rights has replaced one extreme (that women could be nothing but mothers) with another (that women should be anything but mothers).
However, when you look at the many different aspects of a stay-at-home mom, I must wonder how that is not a career by anyone's standards. A mother is a caregiver, a cook, a housekeeper, a chauffeur, an educator, and a nurse, amongst many, many other things. How can it be that being a mother is not good enough? If being a mother is not good enough for women, what is?
Thank you, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, for pointing this out to us.
