New Thought Common Sense

"Evolution is better than Revolution. New Thought Library's New Thought Archives encompass a full range of New Thought media from Abrahamic to Vedic reflecting the ongoing evolution of human thought. New Thought's unique inclusion of science, art and philosophy contrasts with 'old thought' Religion. Today's 'New Thought 3.0' teaches personal responsibility, self-development, human rights and compassionate action as essential spiritual paradigms." ~ Avalon de Rossett

The Zoo is another city institution where young animals are protected before birth and after; and should the male animal indicate dangerous tendencies toward his mate before the birth of the young, or afterward toward his offspring, he is at once placed where he cannot do damage.

No stock breeder would permit his brood animal to suffer injury at such a period; she is protected in every way in order that her offspring may be strong and well.

Yet all over the United States expectant mothers are left to the careless and ignorant treatment of men who know no more about the responsibilities of fatherhood, or of prenatal influences, than they know of the social conditions of Mars.

In the lower walks of life, where people are crowded in small rooms and obliged to live in close quarters, expectant mothers are forced to endure the odors of cheap drink and tobacco, and to hear taunts and insults from intoxicated husbands, who have never been told that a woman is sensitive to an abnormal degree at this period of her life. In the higher walks, thousands of mothers are suffering from neglect and indifference, or refined abuse, from husbands
