    Women lag in numbers in legislatures. Ha?
    Fewer than a quarter of state lawmakers across America are female, and the share has changed little in about a decade. Despite a slight gain in the overall percentage this year — to 23.5 percent, or 1,734 of 7,382 seats — the numbers are slipping in many legislatures.

    Ha,
    Like somebody is suppoesed to have a jobe because of their sex?

    If somebody is entitled to get a job because of their sex, nationality, religion or race means that we're losing our sense of reason.

    You should qualify to get the job! The person with the highest qualifications is supposed to get the job. .......... Oooh .......where are we heading?

    Would like such a doctor (Affirmative action) do a surgery to your baby?
    I am a Christian, and as such I don't think people (based on sex or ..... ) should be entitled for jobs where there are peopel with better qualifications then they are .....

    i still wouldnt accept a male midwife, when he says push, he has not felt it so cant tell me what i should be feeling.
    same as women shouldnt be in the forces, people die because of that.

    there are some gender roles that should be kept.

    Not all midwives have been through childbirth so your statement is completely irrelevant.
