Women to consider themselves 'pre-pregnant'

[samvara]

Forever Pregnant Reactions? Am curious here.

ED: Based on responses; I got this from jupitah.

1 comments, 2 more comments, 3 yet more comments, 4 extra comments and 5 commenty comments and and even more commenty comments.

Best article so far thank you maharetr. "So why did the WaPo misrepresent this report? Hell, they don’t even mention how important birth control is to this entire project except in passing at the bottom of the article. I think it’s because it’s a political hot potato to openly admit that the two most important steps towards reducing the infant mortality rate and improving the health of newborns in general is to get health care to every woman and to empower women with the knowledge and tools they need to get pregnant only when they want to."

I'm agreeing with maharetr on this...

I am more than my reproductive organs! I am not a machine in wait for conception and procreation. I have an identity separate to any offspring i may or may not choose to bear.... my existence is not soley for that purpose.

This comes across very sensational, it in my mind reads less like a serious health reccomendation and more a device for creating controversy - and through that establishing a point of...

'doctor knows best', or it could also be viewed.... 'man knows best'.

Most women know their own bodies much better than this article gives credence to.
