abortion and feminism don't mix.

tenthousandangels:

probably one of the best articles i’ve read on this subject. 

‎”The reality is we will not cultivate a culture of life until all women realize that we do not need abortion in order to be considered as smart, competent and professional as men. Not only do we not need abortion, we do not want it. Abortion does not elevate the dignity of women. It demeans us and forces us to reject our true nature. Rather than celebrating our femininity, abortion forces us to deny our womanhood. It treats our unique ability to bear and nurture a child as a liability.”

Challenging comment on abortion. Suspect there is much truth here.

Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.

‎”Don’t give in to discouragement……. If you are discouraged it is a sign of pride because it shows you trust in your own powers. Never bother about people’s opinions. Be obedient to truth. For with humble obedience, you will never be disturbed.
Blessed Teresa of Calcutta (via tenthousandangels)
