Abortion supporters claim that making a baby is too much for many women today. The poor little things purportedly need abortions because they cannot handle such a difficult and demanding task. Abortion supporters tell working class women they can only be empowered by working for someone else.
I don't know what percentage of modern women really lack the strength to make babies, but I know that some modern women are as strong or even stronger than women 50 years ago. A woman I worked with before I retired was mopping floors and emptying trash a couple of weeks before giving birth to a baby who was over ten pounds. One of the local judges successfully ran against an incumbent judge while pregnant. My niece, the aeronautical engineer, has had two children. Tarter farm equipment executive vice president Ann Tarter recently had a daughter. A young woman in Wichita who became pregnant after being raped at 14, decided to go ahead and have her baby After completing high school she got a bachelor's degree and is now teaching special education while working on a master's degree in special education while raising her daughter.
The facts are today's women are just as capable of handling the rigors of making a baby as their mothers and grandmothers. The ability to make new human beings makes women the superior sex. Nothing empowers a woman more than having a baby. Mothers have the power to influence what their children become. Those who have a strong influence may also impact additional generations.
Women who work for the man from 9 to 5 have no power. They are just cogs in some corporation. The relative handful of women who have creative jobs like teachers, engineers and journalists may have some power but those who work on assembly lines or wait on tables have no power.
The rich women who are pushing abortion want to exploit women- not empower them. They want women to help corporations make money instead of building their own families. Women who build families have a lasting impact on society. Women who are corporate cogs do not.
Powerful women make babies. Powerless women get abortions.
Really?
More misandry in our culture.
Twins- no big deal. <—That’s a quote.
+1 a few years later. <— What was that ? Another quote.

Ya don’t piss Mama off... but once.
In gender segregated schools women did not have to rely on the bad boy of the classroom to stand up to the teacher and develop a domination order. Women had to fend for themselves in the jungle and rough up authority on their own.
The eesultis women back then were much stronger headed and natural leaders. Nowadays they are pathetic.
I went to an all-girls college. It's true, the women who developed leadership skills didn't play up their gender or become victims to develop our strengths. There was some problem with male profs, but most girls just said no.
Back then, becoming a Math teacher was mostly a man's world. The women I encountered who chose this path were in general better than our male counterparts. That's because (1)other endeavors using Math training weren't as open to women and (2) to succeed in a male-oriented work environment, we couldn't be incompetent. We had to prove ourselves.
Throughout history, women have been successful. Women were in charge of families, homes, neighborhood and community involvement. They've succeeded as leaders and in changing the world. So I'd say, yeah successful women tended to be stronger and more independent. Women's libbers have in many ways had a negative role for society. JMHO
Throughout human history, women have exhibited incredible fortitude towards basic survival, for both themselves, and their families.
Today's radicals at college campuses, the feminists, and the SJWs are useless, but that's on them.
Concur.
they are not weaker- just different priorities.
Physically I would say no, emotionally I would say yes.
I’d say we’re all weaker; not just women.
Take a drive down any Texas road in July and think about the wagon trains heading westward in the 100+ degree heat. Or crossing the mountains in the middle of winter in the area of your favorite ski resort.
How many of us today could do that?
Physically weaker - mostly yes. Emotionally weaker - definitely yes. Spiritually weaker - indubitably.
Having and raising babies is nothing compared to the rewards gained from sitting in a cubicle and clicking on spreadsheets. Careers are exciting!! There are several television shows that prove it.
Everyone is weaker than people were 50 years ago.
Are men weaker than 50 yrs ago? YES!
In all fairness, babies today are a lot bigger than they were even fifty years ago. Average birth weights:
1930-1949: 7.4lbs
1950-1969: 7.3lbs
1970-1989: 7.7lbs
1990-2008: 7.8lbs
Keep in mind that these are average weights. They are dragged lower by premature babies, that today have a much higher survival rate than they used to. So larger babies today are much more common, though women’s equipment to deliver them has remained the same size.
Not an argument in favor of abortion, but it may well be that women in general are weaker than 50 years ago.
This? Your first post?
Aloha.
Men sprint, women marathon. One’s built to do or die, the other to endure, whether he do or die.
But as to the writer’s premise, I always wonder how well I’d have endured if I’d lived during the Ice Age. Or most any woman I know. Ok, I know a few female stable hands who are quite rugged. And then there are Russian women.
It was NOT his first post——he actually started a thread about the company,which was removed——now he’s trying to sneak the ad in.
I alerted right after you did-——we’ll see.

My daughter (born in 1980) weighed 8 lbs., 12 oz. I am only 5’00”. Had it not been for a C-Section, I would have died in childbirth, like my grandfather’s first wife.
