I first would like to

I first would like to respond to Barbara '57's post...which I can't seem to find on here, but remember reading it in class in response to the recent papers we wrote.

It is really encouraging for me to see such dedication to a cause/idea/issue that is all new to me. I especially was intrigued with her differentiation of "feminism" and "humanism." I feel like that particuarly hit home to me in many ways...I am not only interested in the rights for women, but firmly believe in basic rights for ALL humans.

In any case, Brook's poem is just really interesting to me. I think that Abby's response to the title was similar to mine--and although we didn't discuss it for very long, it seems to me that once a mother always a mother. Whether it be in the case of child dying in her 20's or not being born at all.
