All women are not mothers, just as certainly as all men are not fathers. And I say this as a childless woman who occasionally finds Mother’s Day uncomfortable since I very much wanted to have children.
Well, maybe you shouldn't have had one vacuumed out of your womb because it was inconvenient timing...
How churches can honor mothers without alienating the childless - The Washington Post
'Parks was raised in the church, married in the church and went first to her church upon her arrest. '
'We honor women who are mothers by recognizing just how singular and significant that particular role is. '
'And we honor women who aren’t mothers by recognizing that a woman doesn’t have to be a mother to contribute meaningfully to the world. '
'As a woman who desired children but was unable to have them, I want the church to honor mothers in many ways, not just by handing out carnations on Mother’s Day. '
'First, saying that all women are mothers minimizes the significance of, well, actual mothers. '
