Alabama

If I lived in Alabama I would so much disapprove Of the attitude towards women That I’d simply have to move. There’s a revolution coming And, despite those southern charms, Many Alabama females Should right now be up in arms. For to challenge a decision That’s been law for many years Proves that women’s low-class status In that state still perseveres. I’ll not visit Alabama; I don’t know why someone would But I hope there will be protests And perhaps they’ll do some good.

Well said, Ilene! The Governor of Alabama certainly is not my kind of woman! Perhaps a stint with the Maori would help her distinguish fact from fiction! Aloha! Rico

The men and women should be fighting for women's rights. Enabled rape inception doesn't seem like anyone's right or legacy.

The Tide is turning... (Alabama's sports teams are known as 'The Crimson Tide' or just 'The Tide' for short). ~ gw

powerfully penned Ilene I wasn't aware of these outdated laws - sadly its not unusual for women to be paid less in many areas of life:-(:-) hugs Jan xx
