Some time around 10-12 years back I was flipping around through radio stations and heard some elderly preacher (don't know if he was local or syndicated) railing about the decaying morality of the modern age-- and he spent some time ranting about how
horrible it was that pregnant women today thought that it was perfectly okay to walk around in public, when back in his day women knew that they should stay at home and hide their shame (and he wasn't talking about "unwed mothers"-- it was
all pregnant women.)
