[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pregnancy is [i]such[/i] an inconvenience!  So just commit murder instead?[/quote]

I had a friend die because of pregnancy complications, leaving behind a bereft husband an a couple of kids.  Knew another woman who committed suicide 3 days after giving birth because her hormones were so out of whack and she was delusional.  Another friend experienced severe post-partum depression that destroyed her marriage.  I myself had to do bed rest for months because of a horrid pregnancy -- how many jobs out there will allow that and pay the pregnant woman her salary and then allow her to take family leave and come back to her job?    I've known women who have cracked tailbones giving birth, who got gestational diabetes that then later on turned into full blown diabetes, who had terrible sciatica that incapacitated them even after birth, who vomited every day for weeks and nearly had to be hospitalized, who lost jobs because of pregnancy. And almost no woman who has given birth ever gets her unaltered pre-pregnancy body back.

So FU to a poster who has either never experienced pregnancy or had a difficult one, and has never had the fear of wondering who is going to pay for doctor's visits and child care, for maternity clothes and post-partum clothes for an altered body. You've clearly never had to worry about not having any maternity leave, or how to pay for an extra mouth to feed. And you've probably never done a thing to help women in such situations.  [/quote]

So just do murder?[/quote]

Do you believe the death penalty is also murder? [/quote]
