Happy Mothers Day

From Womens Space

The women most responsible for Mother’s Day were radicals; feminist revolutionaries. Julia Ward Howe, who penned the Mother’s Day Proclamation of 1870, was an abolitionist, sharing leadership of the movement with the likes of William Lloyd Garrison, William Cullen Bryant, and Ralph Waldo Emerson. She was a playwright, a poet and a mother of six who once wrote of her abusive marriage under a pen name when her husband forbade her to publish. She was a peace activist who worked tirelessly for an end to war and for healing the wounds of war which were suffered by civilians and soldiers alike. She was a woman who began to see and understand the parallels between the institution of slavery in the United States and the enslavement of the people of women.

religion

I am amazed at the lack of tolerance religious people show others. When i talk to someone i dont constantly think of what their beliefs are, and i rarely tell them mine. I dont ask theirs as it has not bearing on my relationship with them.
So why is it so many people not only want to know Mine, but judge me incompetent in all other areas when its not the same as theirs? I know they dont ask cashiers, waiters, Drs, nurses, cops what THEIR religious beliefs are..so why is it mine is important? As a midwife, you are hiring ME for my skills to SAVE a life. I have emergency skills to use at births that you pay me for.... why does it matter WHO i pray to?????

So..please... STOP making my beliefs the defining issue!!!
