Amy, thank you for reading and for your response! I agree that both working women and stay at home mothers should be respected.

Janet, I agree with you about this not being a career. Without my husbands career I would not be able to make this choice. No decision is made in a vacuum. There are other outlying factors to get everyone to their choice. However I do feel that Ann Romney has had her struggles. Parenting is hard. However she is negating the fact that she does not have to deal with the glass ceiling in her job. For not receiving equal pay for equal work. For dealing with office politics. These are things that women who do not necessarily choose to work have to deal with. I think saying that Ann hadn’t worked a day in her life was callous. However Ann comparing her struggles to working women isn’t entirely accurate. Bottom line is they are two separate arenas in which both women should be respected and supported.

Comment on It’s a Mistake to Run Graphic Anti-Abortion Ads During Super Bowl by William Balsiger

Those “graphic images” are exactly what abortions look like. People need to see what their indefference causes; child murder; infanticide. America could defend the helpless, and stop every murder with a simple vote. Those real-life photos will help, but it will not be enough. If those photos were a pile of broken kittens I guarantee “Kitanticide” would be instantly outlawed. America’s moral compass is seriously flawed.

Comment on Will the changes to Mass strengthen our faith? by cinhosa

I like them but find myself saying ‘and also with you’ out of habit!

The word consubstantial was coined in 44 A.D. Later in 325 in the Council of Nicea, the Church canonized this word:

“Consubstantial” describes the relationship among the Divine persons of the Christian Trinity and connotes that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are “of one being” in that the Son is “generated” (“born” or “begotten”) “before all ages” or “eternally” of the Father’s own being, from which the Spirit also eternally “proceeds.”

This definitely helped me understand more fully one of the changes and in this particular example, consubstantial definitely deepens my faith.

Thanks for sharing!

Comment on A Link Between Educating Women and Fighting Terrorism by Marilyn

Marilyn — Tue, 17 May 2011 20:34:21 +0000

This is a very hopeful article…..since this is 2011-are there any more
women out there that are “in the fight”…. It is so necessary for all women in these countries to band together and become a voice in the
wilderness…..the men have ruined our planet!!~~ (there are some
good guys, I’m sure). We must become EMPOWERED with our inner
strength and conviction to make ourselves heard and seen.
God Bless all who are in the battle for honor.. Marilyn

Here’s an interview with University of Iowa Professors Timothy Hagle and Kembrew McLeod, Matt Sowada, the conservative co-host of the political talk radio show American Reason on KRUI, and Rod Sullivan from the Johnson County Board of Supervisors about Professor Ellen Lewin’s “F— You, Republicans!” email response to the University of Iowa College Republicans campus-wide invite for people to participate in “Conservative Coming Out Week.”
