When Joan of Arc, a young woman of 20 years old, was burnt, her flimsy smock caught the flames and flared up leaving her naked, whereupon the hangman of Rouen doused down the flames so that onlookers could better see “all the secrets which can or should be in a woman”.
Abstract
The three separate AskWhy! websites, at Blogspot (askwhyblogger.blogspot.com), Wordpress (mikemagee.wordpress.com), and the main one at AskWhy! (askwhy.co.uk) have been aggregated at Yahoo pipes and piped here in descending order of publication. The longer essay length articles are on the main website, and the other two are essentially political and religious commentary respectively.
If all children are to be born and made to live, then why are fundamentalists not dedicated to fighting the poverty and deprivation it causes? The death rate for babies, stillborn or dying within the first year after birth, to the poorest mothers is two and a half times higher than to upperclass mothers. For ethnic minority and immigrant babies, death rates are often twice those of white and native mothers. If all babies had the same chance, hundreds of babies’ lives a year would be saved. What are selfish right wing Christian moralists in the US doing about that? Much less than their wicked liberal opponents.
