Quote by Andrea Dworkin

Childbearing is glorified in part because women die from it.

Childbearing is glorified in part because women die from it.

Summary

This quote suggests that the concept of glorifying or celebrating childbearing is in some way influenced by the fact that women can face mortality risks during the process. It implies that due to the potential dangers associated with childbirth, society may romanticize or idealize it, as if to compensate for the potential sacrifices women make and the risks they face. The quote highlights a darker perspective that attributes the glorification of childbearing to the serious physical and emotional challenges that women endure in order to bring life into the world.

There are 4 billion cell phones in use today. Many of them are in the hands of market vendors, rickshaw drivers, and others who've historically lacked access to education and opportunity. Information networks have become a great leveler, and we should use them together to help lift people out of poverty and give them a freedom from want.

I'm a lapsed Quaker. I don't go to meetings any more. But I'm very drawn to Catholicism - all that glitter. I'd love to be a Catholic. I think it would be fantastic - faith, forgiveness, absolution, extreme unction - all these wonderful words. I don't think anyone who was ever born a Catholic hasn't died a Catholic, no matter how lapsed they are.

While Free Choice Vouchers didn't fulfill my vision of a health care system in which every American would be empowered to hire and fire their insurance company, they were a foothold for choice and competition and a safety valve for Americans whose employers are already forcing them to bear more and more of their family's health insurance costs.
