Virginia Woolf, argued ...FROM DUCKY'S ARTICLE:<br /><br /><i>Virginia Woolf, argued that nonfiction consists of half-truths and approximations that result in <b>"a very inferior form of fiction.”</b></i> <br /><br /><i>In Woolf’s terms, reading ambitious fiction isn’t comfortable or easy. Far from it: <b>“To go from one great novelist to another—from Jane Austen to Hardy, from Peacock to Trollope, from Scott to Meredith—is to be wrenched and uprooted; to be thrown this way and then that.”</b></i> <br /><br /><i>The illuminations that fiction offers are gained only with considerable effort. <b>“To read a novel is a difficult and complex art,”</b> Woolf wrote. <b>“You must be capable not only of great fineness of perception, but of great boldness of imagination if you are going to make use of all that the novelist—the great artist—gives you.”</b></i><br /><br />Thats almost exactly what I tell those who resent and resist exposure to "classical music." HOWEVER, though love Virginia Woolf's work –– particularly To the Lighthouse and Orlando<br /> –– I disagree that reading good literature is all that much of a challenge. I read all of David Copperfield before I was five, and found it thoroughly engrossing, then went on to Oliver Twist and Great Expectations. I have no idea how i learned to read. Looking back it seems to have been a thoroughly natural process.<br /><br />After David Copperfield I just kept going and never looked back. With each passing year my love for reading grew stronger.<br /> FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-50477849510597388972015-08-12T16:28:35.151-05:002015-08-12T16:28:35.151-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-4761282725341942122015-08-11T20:02:12.098-05:002015-08-11T20:02:12.098-05:00Z,

So, I decided to do some checking and found out otherwise.<br /><br />The issue about encouraging abstinence is even more complicated than you suggest. Most parents with whom I speak <b>automatically assume</b> that their young girls will be sexually active way too early (<b>way</b> too early, IMO). And there's another side to this matter, too: guys expect girls to be on the pill and, therefore, to be ready, willing, and able.<br /><br />The only certain way for a fertile girl or young woman not to become pregnant is indeed abstinence. Furthermore, pregnancy without a marriage partner makes rearing the child so much harder; I've seen that problem more times that I care to count; in more than one case, child services has to take custody of the child(ren) -- and this has happened in my own family. **sigh**<br />Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-26496463132964319532015-08-11T19:54:24.875-05:002015-08-11T19:54:24.875-05:00Z,

I am not against family planning nor birth...Ducky,<br /><br />I am not against family planning nor birth control. But once there is conception we are dealing with a separate issue: Constitutional rights of a human being. Women do not abort a bug, some little insect. They are terminating the life of another human.<br /><br />Both of our sons came to us by adoption. The eldest, is a tall drink of water - six feet, broad shoulders, dimple in his chin, and he looks like me. He did, in fact, start out as a lil' clump of stem cells. Minus the vast courage of his mother to ferry him safely to the shore of humanity, he would not exist.<br /><br />Most of us who are anti-abortion have great compassion for the women. Invariably, abandonment precedes abortion. The men walk - the women abort.<br /><br />Abortion is a societal ill which is a reflection of a greater issue which plagues our nation: the disappearance of men who gratefully assume their role as a father.<br /><br />Tammy SwoffordThe Last English Princehttp://thelastenglishprince.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-71660562282026826702015-08-11T07:32:53.048-05:002015-08-11T07:32:53.048-05:00Mararet Sanger was a JEW.Mararet Sanger was a JEW.FreeThinkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16682678301019952436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-48244641563228571192015-08-11T05:00:55.272-05:002015-08-11T05:00:55.272-05:00Regardless of whether or not birth control is free...Regardless of whether or not birth control is free (I'm thinking of the teenage girl who has her birth control paid for by a parent or grandparent), a lot of teen girls get pregnant.

Three babies before the age of 20! <br /><br />Why is that? Failure of the pill -- or failure to <b>take</b> the pill because or forgetfulness or because having a baby gives the girl special status with her peers? <br /><br />The girl of whom I spoke above got a lot of affirming attention from everyone, including the family.

Planned Parenthood offers comprehensive breast health care management, which includes manual breast exams as well as patient education on breast health. That care management program includes providing women with information about mammograms, referring them to health centers where they can obtain mammograms, and assisting them in covering the costs of the procedure by referring them to government programs that provide free mammograms or by using grant funds to reimburse the medical providers who perform the mammograms.
