You really have to give them lot of credit for risking their lives to do what we take for granted. It's pretty amazing that they were willing to have their names printed. There are lot of things I want to say but it would not be polite here. Let's just say that treatment of women elsewhere really makes me angry!!

Who takes care of them when they are babies. And who takes care of them when they are toddlers and small children. expletive deleted &^%$#@ It sure isn't the men. enuf said.

Really makes you think about how good we have it here in the USA, doesn't it? Not saying things are perfect here, but they are a lot better than in most of the world. I hope these gutsy women inspire others in their country and positive changes happen.
