Here is an unmarried mother
who, fearing the condemnation 81
her friends and society, has done
away with her tnree-day old in
FAINT. What wilI you do with her,
you stern and righteous courts
and moralists? She is only a girl
herself and has been the victim
Of a false sex doctrine and the
prudish b;gotry that condemns
the un-wed mother, unheard.
How many such mothers have
we in this nation, who SUCCESSFULLY
hide the illegitimacy of their
child? They were c,ever in not
so fearing censure that murder
seemed the lesser evil.
"Man's humanity to man
and especially to the unmarried
mother--is one evil that our civ
ilization is slow to wipe out. As
if the fact of motherhood were
not, in itself, paramount over
man-lnade rgles of conduct. You
are condemning Gods greatest
gift when you point to that moth
er in scorn, because she wears no
ring. Motherhood should not,
and will not long. be crucified on
the cross of convention.
Blame, rather, the ignorance
that shuns the teaching of sex
truths, that forces the young to
lead unnatural lives, unless they
are rich enough to defy society,
10 the letter rather than the spir-
it of the Masters mission on
earth. Blame the laws that are
made on an out-nloded code os
morality. Blame the economic
factors that keep young men and
women from early marriage. But
10 not imprison and degrade any
woman who. through fear Of an
unjust condemnation, has Destroy
ID her own infant. No punish
nent you rulers can meet out
viii equal the scar on the soul of
Ter. Because, but for you, she
night have kept her babe alive
md known no disgrace.
