"... there is no one to keep a home and pay adequate attention to the raising of our children."


I thought for that were the illegal immigrants.

Sovietophiles would crow about the factory crëches, so women could join 
the glorious work force.  Even one "Desperate Housewife" used the 
company's on premises child care to snag a prospective applicant.  If I 
remember correctly a recent Calif. law protects women from indecent 
exposure arrest for in public nursing.

bc, who thinks women's working should be a choice and blames the 
republicans for economically forcing * women to work. (Thatch in the UK.)

* read Barbara Ehrenreich's (B.A. Physics)  Fear of Falling. 

p.s. what's keeping men from raising the children?
