Anyone that has been baited into a 'mommy war' should redirect their anger and fears about themselves and try to redirect it to mom/parenting issues that really matter. No more arguing over Cry It Out vs. Attachment Parenting, breast vs. bottle, cloth vs. disposable. YOU ARE DONE BITCHING. You know what matters? Kids that don't have a mom or parent at all. This HuffPo article points out that there are 18 year old 'kids' that put themselves up for adoption because they want parental figures in their lives as adults. OMG I cried.
From the +The Huffington Post article:
All of these petty wars about the choices of capable, loving mothers is just a lot of white noise to me, Quite honestly, I'm often astonished at the non-essential parenting issues I see moms getting upset about. Particularly when there are so many kids in this world not being parented at all.
Love to +Cecily Kellogg for the original share.

Let's stop quibbling about what competent mothers are choosing for their kids, and step it up for the kids that don't have one

Couldn't agree more. The recent Time cover is the most egregious mass media baiting on the subject so far. I guess they have to sell magazines…
For the benefit of people who are posting in English on an English-language thread, here's what Google Translate does with +Hl Lorestani 's post:
"The name of God"
"Choose which to choose, not thinking with prejudice"
"(untranslated) that change, not create excuses"
"The reason we choose, not despair"
Too serious a matter to do my usual "bad translation" version.

"Love her. This can help the world. I was pretty certain."
Right on +Lynette Young. I posted something along these lines a few days ago. I remember well growing up with my single mother and sitting in front of the television with her watching world news and whenever she would see reports about families who were suffering – often because of natural disasters – my mother would start to cry. She worked for the Red Cross and so she was very in touch with the sudden fragility of a particular family's life…and what would happen to the children. Somehow this "movement" in American families has made it easy to forget that for some women life is so precarious that complaining about the things we "complain" about here is unfathomable to them.
Powerful piece – thanks for sharing, +Lynette Young.
