I feel that a woman should not have to stay home. I mean, in my opinion, in this economy a woman has to take care of herself because no one else will. If a woman decides to be a stay at home mom then that means less money she will get from SS when she retires (if it is still there). Women cannot depend on someone else to bring in the money because things happen and the woman (even though it is unfair) usually gets stuck with raising the kid or kids for the most part.
