Jimmy Carter: Women's rights the fight of my life

[n2doc]

Atlanta (CNN)Jimmy Carter has seen a lot in his 90 years.

As a son of the South, a governor and president, and as a man who spent decades tackling problems head-on, he knows the world is not perfect. It has too many people without a voice and without hope, too many examples of suffering and injustice.

There are so many wrongs to right. Yet among them, Carter is putting one ahead of all others: Violence and injustice against girls and women.

"This is going to be the highest priority for the rest of my life," he said this week.

6. I so love this man.

As a native Georgian, he make me proud. As a human being, I can think of no one else I admire more.

If only all those people who profess to be "Christian", could learn to be more like him. He actually acts like one.

7. He was a good president, Reagan was bad for the working people.

President Jimmy Carter has always been compassionate, cared about the homeless and continues to show his compassion towards women. If the world was full of Jimmy Carters we would be doing well.
