Re: natality rate

First, whatever happens, my opinion is worth the same as a finger placed in the way of the Niagara Falls. Social and cultural change will or will not take place as it pleases; the best I can do is try and understand how it is going and why. Second, my ideal society is one in which male and female roles do tend to be distinguished, and motherhood is honoured rather than persecuted, but in which a woman like Ann Douglas - or Katharine Hepburn - or Dorothy Hodgkin - is able to follow her calling and use the talent God gave her rather than waste it away in a corner. It sounds like a difficult balance? It is. That is why both extremes must be confronted and, if necessary, opposed. As for what I think of abortion, you know that already.
