get real. the nuns didn't have to treat them badly, but they did. they thought these young girls were sinful and needed to repent for their "sins of the flesh". even in the article you posted said they would deny anesthesia for women during child birth so they would be less likely to sin again. the church did not show these women any compassion. quite the opposite.

So you say. I have no problem with muslims. I do have a problem with the nujob radical side who want to kill folks for Allah. That is crazy.

You on the other hand think anyone who takes on a religion is wrong. Well you sit in your home alone and let that happen. All on you hero.

women giving birth now are not given anesthesia---it's bad for the baby. that's just someone's opinion back then. they didn't need to do anything for them and let them stay on the streets but they took them in.
