Teresa Heinz Kerry Takes a Swing at Stay-At-Home Moms

WASHINGTON, October 21, 2004 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Concerned Women for
America Legislative Action Committee (CWALAC) says Teresa Heinz Kerry's
comments undervaluing first lady Laura Bush's investment in her
children as a stay-at-home mom should enlighten American women to the stark
contrast between the wives of the presidential candidates.

"Mrs. Heinz Kerry's comments are disturbing," says Dr. Janice Crouse,
spokesperson for CWALAC. "Her comments indicate disapproval of those
American women who sacrifice a career and all of its benefits in order to
care for and train their children at home. A potential first lady of
the United States should not demean the heroic women who are investing in
America's future generations in order to win the White House."

"Mrs. Heinz Kerry's apology only reinforced the ideology implicit in
her original comments," said Crouse. "Her apology was based on Mrs.
Bush's employment as a teacher and librarian, rather than her lifetime
investment in raising her two daughters. Mrs. Kerry's words imply that a
woman who stays home to raise children in place of a career is less
credible or intelligent than a woman who pursues a career at the expense of a
family. She appeals to feminist myths, while insulting the majority of
American women."
