This cause is third on my list of this world's biggest tragedies . . . being only first and seconded by starvation and extreme poverty.

There is NO reason for ANY of the three to still exist.

Thanks Mark, noted.
I agree with Just C too. But..........
Men's penises, power and money are to 99% responsible for this. Will it ever change? It has not really for centuries and I doubt it will ever be any different. Sadly!!

Noted, petition signed and spread far and wide.

Money, power, greed... as well as a predominately patriarchal society has proliferated and decimated the true power and givers of life - Mothers! Until women learn that they have the power and take back what has been stripped of them by force and other means in raising their children to honor and respect the sacrifice and miracle of birth and life, this trend will not only continue, but get worse.

I see the truth every day in society as women continue to suffer abuse, mistreatment, bigotry and are basically brainwashed into roles of not being physically strong, belittled by unfair work practices, and a society that has disregarded the true worth and value of more than half the population. This Mother's Day, speak out and speak up! Everyone has a mother and each one deserves to be honored, revered and respected - even if it's just giving thanks for giving birth and bringing you into this world.

What can we do? We can adopt a child from a poor nation, which will allow that child an opportunity they would otherwise not have.

I am considering running for office. One of my platforms is adoption. I want to hear from anyone having trouble with international adoptions.
