I usually concentrate on the art here and not political rantings, especially refraining from gender-based ones. BUT. Sometimes something just needs to be said.
Check out this article, "Forever Pregnant" in the Washington Post regarding new federal guidelines on treating "pre-pregnancy" - New federal guidelines ask all females capable of conceiving a baby to treat themselves -- and to be treated by the health care system -- as pre-pregnant, regardless of whether they plan to get pregnant anytime soon.
How about the need to recognize and augment the general health of 51% of the American population, not just treating that population as an incubator? Women shouldn't smoke, because they may get pregant...how about women shouldn't smoke nor should men smoke because it'll fucking kill them?
All this "Pre-Pregnancy" bit - I am also "Pre-Deceased," I think I'll go pick out my pine box tomorrow along with quitting drinking and taking folic acid, never cleaning the catbox again and not exposing myself to industrial chemicals. Right.
