WELCOME! Good to have you here.


You have power. Use it wisely. Make it matter.

At Lucy Left you're encouraged to leave comments, keeping this request in mind: Say what you mean and mean what you say, just don't say it mean. Lucy's not a fan of vitriol. This is a place to find information and opinion, a place to have a laugh now and then and to feel less alone in the political madness.

Be well, speak up for what is right and true (even if your voice shakes), and come back soon!

President Carter's Defense of Women's Rights

Just came across a 2009 op-ed written by former President Jimmy Carter, giving the Southern Baptist Convention hell.   (Reminds me of President Truman saying he doesn't actually "Give 'em hell."  He just "gives them the truth and they think it's hell.")  In the linked piece Carter speaks his truth and announces he'll no longer be associated with this religious group.  The reason he walked away from the SBC?  They were interpreting the Bible falsely in order to keep women from having equal rights.  To keep women down.   Sadly, President Carter's words are as relevant today—and perhaps needed more—than four years ago.  


Thanks to Stephen D. Foster, Jr. at Addicting Information for sharing our former President's defense of women's rights.  It's a heartening read.    http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/04/02/the-most-important-defense-of-womens-rights-you-will-read-today/
