Work is different than career. According to the GOP having children is the career of choice for women while lending monies to educate each male child.
That model for the behaved spouse went out in the '50's with the emergence of the women's rights movement of the '60s. If returning to the '50s is the best the GOP can do in reducing unemployment; where only one spouse earns the household budget; then their economics have been dead for over 50 years and the country shows it.
..."I talk about one word, (click title to entry - thank you) one sentence, one day out of place, and, all of the sudden, the entire establishment turns on you," Akin complained to talk radio host Dana Loesch on Tuesday as he spurned pleas from Mitt Romney and other GOP big shots to abort his
He's right again. Other Republicans are trying to cover up their true identity to get elected. Even as party leaders attempted to lock the crazy uncle in the attic in Missouri, they were doing their own crazy thing in Tampa, Fla., by reiterating language in their platform calling for a no-exceptions constitutional amendment outlawing abortion, even in cases of rape, incest and threat to the life of the mother.
Paul Ryan, who teamed with Akin in the House to sponsor harsh anti-abortion bills, may look young and hip, with his iPod full of heavy metal and cute kids. But he's just a fresh face on a Taliban creed — the evermore antediluvian, anti-women, anti-immigrant, anti-gay conservative core. Amiable in khakis and polo shirts , Ryan is the perfect modern leader to rally medieval Republicans who believe that Adam and Eve cavorted with dinosaurs.
In asserting that women have the superpower to repel rape sperm, Akin ratcheted up the old chauvinist argument that gals who wear miniskirts and high-heels are "asking" for rape; now women who don't have the presence of mind to conjure up a tubal spasm, a drone hormone, a magic spermicidal secretion or mere willpower to block conception during rape are "asking" for a baby....

Women's Health Better Than Ever, Even Better Than Men's

...Schnittker's snapshot is drawn from a nationwide (study) of nearly 16,000 women and 21,000 men between ages 18 and 80. He asked men and women to rate their health as “poor,” “fair,” “good,” or “excellent.” He also factored in their work schedules, education, marital status, and job level.
Among his findings:
- In 2000, 60% of the women were working, compared with 40% in 1974.
- Nearly three times as many women -- 16% -- are working more than 40 hours a week as in 1974.
- More women with young children (under age 6) are working full-time: 7% in 2000, compared with 4% in 1974.
"Americans are working longer hours, and they're more stressed than ever before," Schnittker tells WebMD. "The husband is working full-time, the wife is working full-time, and they are often raising a child."
However, equal opportunity has not yet knocked on the couple's front door. Women still do the lion's share of housework and child care. But that "time bind" -- so many things pulling at one's 24-hour-day -- isn't really taking a toll on women's health, he says.
In fact, women were healthier in 2000 than ever before. When Schnittker crunched all the numbers, he found that women had somewhat better health than men. However, only employed women had better health....
Working women can afford better health for themselves and their families, which is why Planned Parenthood and their work is so important.
There is no other better feeling, at the end of the day, that a woman has contributed to a larger world while loving her family and seeing the benefits of her work in their progress in life.

When my family was young, it was rewarding and challenging to come home to them after finding satisfaction in the work I did. They knew Mommy had to work and they enjoyed the product of that work along with me. My sons are happy, healthy and successful with their own families now, where their spouses have a career, too.
As a matter of fact, both of my sons are married to strong and ambitious women. My oldest son spent a second Christmas with the women he would become engaged to when her brother stated, "Wow, her boyfriends usually only last one Christmas and New Years. This must be the real thing."
