Women

I was just on Facebook and a girl I used to work with posted an interesting link, so I will share it with you. It's for an upcoming documentary that I need to see, called "It's a Girl!" and thought some of you might also like to see it.



And in case that still doesn't work, here's a link to cut and paste https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ISme5-9orR0
It's not out yet, but should be released this year. I signed up for updates so I don't forget about it...

I also just started a book last night called Mighty Be Our Powers which is about a woman who lived through the Liberian civil war and is currently trying to work towards peace. Strange that these two finds came within a day of each other - the world must be trying to tell me something.

Anyways, things here are going well. I am GLAD it's the weekend -- Ron and I are going out to dinner tonight, then tomorrow night is a friends bday party so that should be fun. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!!!

Wow! That is truly disturbing. I didn't know they were still killing off baby girls in favor of male heirs. It makes more sense now why every adopted foreign-born baby I know of, are girls. I definitely have to go see that.

I am so with you - seems like something from the dark ages.

That is so disturbing and distressing.

"Born into Brothels" is another interesting documentary about women in India.

I haven't heard of that one... is it super depressing? Sounds like it will be. bleh.

This has just made me heart sick. The kindest, sweetest nurses that Bobby
has had were women from India. I am glad they are here. The woman who
killed all her girl babies is a monster. Have fun.

I "knew" this was going on, I really thought it was mainly China. I am very interested to see the documentary in full... I hope many people open their eyes to this problem. I am hoping the best for your Bobby.

Glad to see you reading. And still partying! Never too old for that. Nothing major planned for my weekend. Visits to my father and the library, that's about it. Enjoy a night out.

Actually we have a lot of icy conditions so our weekend just shifted into a movie weekend. We might go tomorrow to walk some land in MD --- possibly interested in buying it... Have a good one!
