Why should women alone bear children? They remain enslaved in society because they beget children. So uterus of women should be removed, said an old leader in Tamilnadu a few years back.
This year on International Day for women, a speaker quoted the words of the leader in his speech.
Does the leader consider uterus a waste bin?

Answer: Perhaps the old man spoke of removing the uterus in a thoughtless emotional outburst. It is as insane as cutting off the head to get rid of a headache!
It has always been preached by the so called rationalists that women will progress only when they turn up against men. It has created a lot of confusion in the minds of many well-read women even today.
One does not even leave his slippers in the custody of a fellow man for want of trust. In case of many women, neither do they place trust in themselves, nor do others trust them.
But God places immense trust in women. How?
Uterus in women is God’s greatest blessing. God entrusts women, not men, to rear and preserve the lives created by Him. God’s trust in women adds glory to womanhood.
One of the questions posed by Yaksha to Yudhishtir in Mahabharata is, "Which is heavier than Earth?”.
If only these 'part time rationalists', who denigrate only Hindu Gods, had read the reply of Yudhishtir they would not have given such thoughtless advice gratis.
Yudhishtir replied, "Heavier than Earth is Mother who bears lives in her womb”.
Earth bears man / woman only after he or she is born. If the foetus is brought on earth as it is, it will die. But it is nurtured in the womb by its mother. All the lives on earth are brought into world from the womb of the mother. Hence mother is heavier than earth in the grand scheme of things.foetus is brought on earth as it is, it will die. But it is nurtured in the womb by its mother. All the lives on earth are brought into world from the womb of the mother. Hence mother is heavier than earth in the grand scheme of things.
Goodness gracious! Can you imagine? Two lives in a single body! Man has his very first schooling in mother’s womb. God teaches him through his mother.
Do you know the root cause of Autism? Autism is the inability of a child to correlate things seen, heard and felt due to brain’s poor condition. When the mother lives in stress and tension during pregnancy, it affects the child in the womb. This is one of main causes of Autism.
However our scriptures guide the pregnant women through varied prescriptions. Such guided mothers’ wombs give birth to noble men.
To remove the womb?! If only mothers of those who gave such silly ideas were childless, the world would have known better, the spiritual glory of India.
