Pregnancy

7/7/2023

I’ve never been pregnant myself but there is so much to pregnancy I had no idea about. Like I only just learned after birth a woman’s belly doesn’t immediately go down to the size it was before. I only learned that after seeing a photo of the brave Kate Middleton who appeared in a revealing dress on leaving the hospital after the birth of her first baby. 
But recently I also found out that drooling can be caused by pregnancy, all kinds of spinal problems and no doubt we’re all familiar with the vomiting and fainting especially in older movies. Once a woman has given birth in the traditional fashion she cannot sit right away.
Pregnancy can be very debilitating yet we expect women to endure this debilitating condition on a dime based on some people's beliefs, and especially that she is less important than the genetic experiment going on in her belly.
In the movie “where did you go Bernadette?” we learn about a wanted pregnancy going terribly wrong time and time again but the mother put that all away once her wanted baby was born, but even then her baby needed operations to allow her baby to survive. My mother wanted more children but miscarried often. Pregnancy most definitely does not necessarily turn into living babies.
I want to applaud these women for letting us know about the constipation and how awful pregnancy can be. (See 8 and 9.) There are women obviously want to be mothers, why force any woman who falls pregnant to be a mother when pregnancy can be so awful?
Surely we should let women decide for themselves whether they want to be mothers or not, yet all these pro-lifers think it is okay to lie about whether a woman is pregnant or not? How dare you lie to women about something so debilitating. Why do you think it is okay to lie to women and treat them like children - like we do when we tell children about Santa Claus? Indeed it seems we have turned pregnancy and child birth into yet another Disney movie.
​Why is there so much secrecy about women and their bodies? Why do we constantly want to ignore how much horror there is associated with reality? Giving birth is an ugly messy business and extremely dangerous for both mother and her child.
​These new laws against abortion is nothing more than men punishing women for something they want to do but know they never can.

    I am interested in progressive politics, women's rights, science & art. I believe the only way we'll survive is if we help each other.
