Militants - are they for real?

Someone on another board posted this link.
http://blogs.babycenter.com/celebrities/2009/04/12/dr-laura-says-all-moms-should-stay-at-home/?scid=momstodd_20090414_A:2&pe=2U8vYLf
It's about Dr. Laura saying that all women should be SAHMs until the child is at least 3 years old.

Whether we're talking about working or staying at home, I can't quite wrap my head around what is going on inside the brains of people that apply the phrase "all women should".

Do you think militants are actually serious, or just trying to get a rise out of others?

I think the 10-20-25-yr gap is more a thing of the past. Most sahms I know don't stay home anywhere near that long.

"SAH costs the family financially in most cases.

>> Don't know if this is covered in "worldview," but they value a SAHP more than the extra goods that could be purchased with a second income, or a bigger home, car, etc. <<

To some people (I'd even venture to say "many"), things like bigger homes and cars don't matter much, if at all.

Scratching my head here...I'm really curious how homebirths could be illegal.

I think usually it means it's illegal for midwives to attend the birth. So they don't put you in jail for giving birth at home, but they would take your midwife's license away.

No state prosecutes mothers for giving birth outside of a hospital. However, midwives who assist at such births may be prosecuted in some areas.
