Abhijit Naskar
“Until the state or the church takes full responsibility for a newborn, no bill or bible is qualified to even offer suggestions on a woman's right to abortion.”
Abhijit Naskar, Hometown Human: To Live for Soil and Society

“In good times, when material resources are abundant and women have plentiful social support, maternal negativity has little place in the lives of women. However, in times of scarcity and/or when women are unsupported, negative feelings can emerge to color the emotional palette and behavior of mothers.”
Riadh Abed, Evolutionary Psychiatry: Current Perspectives on Evolution and Mental Health
