Godless, churchless, faithless lifestyle weighing on women?

Posted by Charlie Butts (American Family News) and Melonie Manning (Instant Analysis) - March 11, 2013

In light of a study suggesting the lifespan of women has decreased, one conservative thinks she understands the problem and has a solution.

Though women have historically lived longer than men, the latest data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that gap closing. And a new study, released last week by the journal Health Affairs, shows declining life expectancy for women in about 43 percent of the nation's counties, many in rural areas of the South and West.

The researchers, David Kindig and Erika Cheng of the University of Wisconsin, reportedly looked at federal death data and other information for nearly all 3,141 U.S. counties over ten years and calculated what is sometimes called "premature death rates" for women age 75 and younger.

According to Fox News, experts cannot explain the "disturbing trend." Dr. Christopher Murray, who led a similar study a couple of years ago, blamed smoking, abuse of Oxycontin and other drugs, and the fact that fewer women in the South received a high school diploma for the decline in that region of the country. He also speculated that the healthier women were migrating out of rural areas

But Janice Crouse of Concerned Women for America (CWA) points out that things are no longer like they were in the past, when women typically lived longer.

"Women are not getting married. They are under far more stress than they used to be under, and the lifestyle that is so typical today -- that is godless and churchless and faithless -- is particularly hard on women," she submits.

Crouse also points to the sexual promiscuity of today, including skyrocketing STDs. And she recalls that some leading thinkers in the country have suggested that what America needs is an old-fashioned John Wesley-type revival and another Great Awakening.

"We need to come back to the biblical truth that the parameters under which people do really, really well in life, they're not there to harm us, or to hinder us, or to keep us from doing the things that are fun and exciting; instead, they're there to shape us into the kind of image that God created us to be," the CWA spokesperson contends.

She believes that if society -- male and female, child and adult -- were to return to those principles, people would be much better off today.

In contrast to this trend concerning women, the CDC reports that men's life expectancy has held steady or improved in nearly all counties.
