Ilona Goanos: It puzzles me greatly that advocacy for women "is so rare."
A man who loves the women in his life loves to see the girls and women around him prosper, powerful, laughing with other women, healthy, vigorous, powerful . . .
Love of women and "advocacy for women" should be as common as the beautiful yellow blooms of wildflowers.
Liz Gauffreau: ALL WOMEN in my life enrich my whole joy in any new morning.
To "speak out for the rights and personhood of women" is as natural to me as to open my eyes in the morning in joy at the cool breeze, the birdsong, the sunrise.
My wife, my daughters, my granddaughter, my woman friends: They are EVERYTHING to me.
I love Nancy so very much, with all the attraction of 53-years-ago.
My Mom enriched my soul and mind with all that I treasure in life.
You are one of the dear friends I am growing close to on this platform.
The picture in the United States as compared with other highly industrialized countries is not pretty.
I DO think that misogyny has almost everything to do with this mostly avoidable tragedy.
I just learned of a case of Avery Davis Bell in Georgia, where the emergency medical care delayed life saving treatment of a birthing mother due to the advice of their Medical Risk Management attorneys, who were consulting the anti-abortion state legislation.
Great post, Armand!
Diane K24: As always, you and Winnie are very generous. Arf, arf!
Thanks for being an advocate for women! It's so rare.
