D. Kevin Dunham, well said; misogyny is enshrined in the tenets of all three major monotheistic world religions, from when reproductive control was considered key to religion as a "growth industry".  We live in a different world now, and it's well worth considering where the pressures for continued population growth are coming from, and why---In my opinion this is directly linked to traditional religious views and their interface with politics; from limitations on reproductive rights and services, even contraception and health screenings, to continuing income inequality and childcare availability.
