    She can afford the best prenatal and postnatal and childcare; why should it matter?

    Oh, great, another mother who throws her child out for someone else to raise. Children should be raised by their parents. If she works 100 hours a week, I dont see her doing that. But then again, that was the entire reason the Rockefeller family started the "Womens Rights Movement". It sounds fanastic, because of course women should have freedom and the choice to work etc, but the entire reason behind the movement had nothing to do about protecting freedom. Their reason for starting and funding the movement was to get income tax from the other half of the population and to break up the family influence on the child and have then raised by the state in day cares and public schools. If you are unaware, income tax is not used for any public service. As reported in the Grace Commission and every annual Treasury report, 100 percent of the income tax collected is paid entirely to the private banks of the federal reserve (which is not federal, its a cartel of 6 private foreign mega banks).

    So if you think mothers and pregnant women should be barred from work..how on earth are they supposed to support their children?

    Its always funny (sarcastic) how people jump to their own conclusions and try to pass them off as someone elses. DID I SAY women should be barred from work? I think not. I never said anything close to that. But parents should take responsibility in raising their children and rely less on external sources like day care and schools. Unfortunately, we have been economically dominated by people who intend to remove the family structure and influence from the child and replace them with the state, so it has become difficult and in many circumstances impossible for families to do. It used to be no problem to support a family with one working parent before the private (foreign) Federal Reserve seized control over the nations economy and devalued the currency by 98 percent since its inception in 1913. But for many women it is not about finanical needs, but about proving something to themselves by being a "professional" woman, so they choose to work rather then raise their children. They have been convinced falsely that it doesnt have negative consequences and that there isnt an ill-intended agenda behind this new norm. Many people are more concerned about having more material objects then time with their family. Parenting has become more about what you provide your child in materialis...

Many people are more concerned about having more material objects then time with their family. Parenting has become more about what you provide your child in materialistic possessions rather then love, time, and support. Its a combination of economic domination and dwindling family values.. Women should have the right to work, but they should put their children first.

    "To achieve world government, it is necessary to remove from the minds of men their individualism, loyalty to family tradition, national patriotism, and religious dogmas... The re-interpretation and eventual eradication of the concept of right and wrong which has been the basis of child training, the substitution of intelligent and rational thinking for faith in the certainties of the old people, these are the belated objectives... for charting the changes in human behavior." - George Brock Chisholm, head of the World Health Organization.

    "It will take a long time to prepare peoples and governments of most nations for acceptance of and participation in a world government ... we will have to be willing to work patiently and covertly until peoples or governments are ready for it." - Ambassador Warren Austin, Chief of the US Mission to the UN, United Nations World

    It shouldn't matter that she's pregnant. Just like it shouldn't matter if shes white, black, brown, yellow, or blue, just like it shouldn't matter if she's was male or female, and just like it shouldn't matter what religion or sexual preference she is. All that should matter is whether or not she can do the job she was hired for.

    But only in the smallest of ways.
    Will she, if needed, be able to handle the day to day operations if a crisis arises and she is needed at the helm for days or weeks on end?

    Will she, have a siutable and qualified replacment if her pregnacy takes a turn for the worse?

    IF, these are worked out before hand and all bases are covered, I say let her run the business right up to the last minute before child birth from inside the delivery room.

    Hell, If she's able and willing, let her teleconference from the delivery room.

    I cant wait until we have a strong minded conservative woman with a stainless steel spine as this countries CEO.

    Id vote for her tomorrow if given the opportunity.

    Bulls***. We told her to go home because she was totally unqualified for the job. She was the one who was trotting around with her special needs kid and pregnant teenage daughter and the rest of her family as part of her campaign but then got offended because they were picked on. If she hadn't made them part or her platform... they would have never been attacked. Pointing out that she was a bad mother, a bad politician, a quitter, and a bad mayor with a 19% approval rating in Alaska was all part of the campaign. Go ahead and preach abstinence but have a pregnant unwed daughter. She was and is such an idiot.

    A good CEO has no time to be screwing around or taking time off to have a baby or be a good mother. Sometimes ya gotta choose what is important and go with it. Those first months and years are so important to childhood development. Can you imagine her breast feeding the baby every two hours for the first six months while meeting with the
    Directors or the management team?
