Sorry, but the evil Margaret Sanger (whom I have studied for years), was in her hay day in the 1920’s. One of her most famous speeches began with the line, “It is the right of every child to be wanted.”
It falls under the category of......justice!
I felt uplifted that for whatever reasons, selfish or otherwise, the baby was saved.
Many unplanned pregnancies are "hard cases," especially for the mother but God rejoices when the life that He began, is spared.
then if that was a current phrase of that period I stand corrected...
“It is the right of every child to be wanted.”
In a better world, a safe assumption would be that every child would be matched with an adult that wanted them.
Ping for after I see the final episode tonight.
Not a one night stand.
As the article says, it is complicated.
Her lover’s wife is committed to a mental hospital, and will never be released. He can not divorce under the laws at that time.
He has gone to Germany to live in the hopes of obtaining a divorce there.
Not that Edith is without dishonor here, but it is complicated.
Tonight’s episode is not the final one of the season.
Bates did it.....
Of course, abortion was considered to be murder back then.
Tonight’s episode is not the final one of the season.
My cable system appears not to carry PBS.
My impression is that the childless Rosamund had a similar experience, perhaps rendering herself infertile by an abortion she went through with. This is because of her surprising support for Edith, and the harsh comment from Edith to her: “I don’t mean to pull rank, but you’ve never had children.”
Interesting observation........could be true
Also, ‘Granny’ never ceases to surprise me
Oh, gotcha. Good to know. I like happy endings.
We (Husband and I) are big fans and look forward to watching it on Amazon once this season is over.
I don’t know if anyone else feels this way but I have to watch it in marathon sessions, one episode after another, because one episode at a time each week feels a bit like watching paint dry sometimes.
I love the castle, clothes and history of life in the 20’s England. I wish for the old days when gross immorality wasn’t something we strived for.
Don’t take my “satisfying” as a spoiler. A satisfying ending isn’t necessarily satisfying, but I’m won’t say either way.
Silly me, I searched for “Downton” on the cable and never found it. Turned out I should have searched for “Masterpiece” (duh!)
