Jack, are you saying that all women with small children should be able to stay home with them, even if they cannot afford to do so? I remember when welfare mothers were permitted to do that, but now that welfare is ending, it is something of a moot point. There was a time in the eighties when the feminist movement was pushing women to believe they could have it all--good careers and motherhood, all at the same time. Then as women realized they could not really be superwomen, many mothers who I knew dropped out of the labor force if they could possibly afford to do so. The percentage of women with preschool children in the labor force seems to have dropped recently, if I recall correctly. Good news on the healthy child front--South Dakota has a new law that allows judges to order pregnant women with drinking problems into alcoholism treatment: search.washingtonpost.com
