Women have gained much ground concerning our rights in the last century. However, a frightening trend, which limits our rights, is making headway yet again: the right over our bodies. At the end of the day, what rights will women have left? Recently, lawmakers proposed a bill that could close down the last abortion clinic in Mississippi, making it an ‘abortion-free’ state.

On an Outward Bound in the mountains of California, I hugged the rock ledge and refused to look down. One hundred and forty feet of sheer granite cascaded to a hard landing on more granite and I wanted to hire a helicopter to rescue me.
Does total freedom of choice corrupt women’s minds & put them in conflict with their inner selves?
Have equal rights for women literally destroyed the balance in modern day relationships?
What is the difference between present day society and from our society 40 years ago? Why are there so many divorces, broken homes, and single parents today as opposed to yesterday? What is the one variable in a relationship that has changed from that period until now? Women.
What does it take to love someone unconditionally?
We all know what it takes to keep a marriage alive but are we brave enough to do it?
I do know the one fundamental thing that keeps a relationship together. And I'm sure that almost everyone reading this knows it already, too. Maybe, you just haven't thought about your knowing it. It's the one thing that determines how long a relationship lasts, whether it's a marriage, a friendship, or any other kind of relationship.
Men often cry foul play over divorce, feeling they were blindsided~but women feel empowered by it.
Divorce is always good for women, if not right away, then eventually. I say this because women typically do not divorce on a whim, they do so after years sacrificing their wants and needs for the benefit of others, until they finally learn that unhappiness is not par for the course.

Find out if having a perfect life is really a good thing. Plus, great advice to readers' problems!
What if your life was perfect? What if all paths actually led up the mountain regardless of what choices you made, how much money you had or lost, how many times you were married or had sex, if you cheated or were totally devoted to the same person for 65 years? What if no matter which way you turned, a hundred or a thousand times, it all led to the same place?
What if enough was what you already have? What if you were born with it and no matter what you did, it would be simply to gain more of what you already have? What if right now, it was true that you have enough love, enough attention, enough freedom, enough health, enough sex, enough courage and enough of what it takes to know you can never really have any more than what you have right now?
Eleanor Roosevelt teaches Rush Limbaugh about human dignity and respect. Time to evolve, guy!
You’ve come a long way, baby!
Seventy-eight million of us baby boomers who grew up in United States during the 1970s remember this slogan as an iconographic hallmark from the feminist movement, an unofficial benchmark signifying that women were emancipated and free (if you considered smoking and wearing pants the epitome of freedom). And while it might make us feel good forty years later to think we’ve come a long way, baby, thank you, Rush Limbaugh, I can’t say with any real confidence that we have.
Society says you are incomplete until you're married. It is part of our social programming. Your parents are expecting you to get married, to follow on with their tradition and give them grandchildren. Your friends are all getting married too, leaving you left out. So, if everyone is doing it, doesn't that mean it must be right? Are there any reasons not to marry? You bet! Many good ones.
When you live a life of reaction instead of response, you seldom choose your actions. Do you feel:
at the mercy of whatever life throws your way
like you're fulfilling other's agendas
that your own needs are seldom met
you are constantly setting aside your dreams and goals
as if you are a background extra instead of in the leading role
