Maybe if mothers were thanked by society rather than dispised they would have them instead of aborting.

I remember that my mother told me of being churched after giving birth, but I don’t know if this was done for every one of her children’s births. She described it to me as a beautiful ceremony
Probably it was incorporated into the Baptism celebration, as she always had the babies baptized at around 6 weeks. Her 9th baby would have been baptized in 1955.

I think it was Brenda Fricker (or was it Rosie O'Donnell) who launched into an anti-Catholic rant at an awards show using the Churching of Women to prove her point.

(For those interested, the Book of Common Prayer (1928) contains the Anglican version of this rite using the very same name.)
