   BirthMothers’s Day or Mother’s Day?

   Mother’s Day is for honoring mothers – grandmothers, step-mothers, career mothers, stay-at-home mothers. But there are some mothers who have been forgotten. These are the mothers who have been used like livestock and who have had their babies harvested from them to be used for adoption. In the 1950s, 60s and early 70s millions of white, single mothers were punished for having a baby. Many were denied any information about childbirth. When they went into labor, they were left alone with no support and no pain relief. But the worst punishment was losing their child. Some were not even told whether they had a son or daughter.

   Now people are trying to honor mothers as breeders on “Brithmother’s Day” instead of honoring them as mothers on Mother’s Day.
