pregnancy

New studies show uterus more important than brain.

Noticed by Bitch Ph.D. and from the Washington Post:

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.

This is ridiculous. I'm so mad I can't see straight.

Nothing like getting the message that you're only worthwhile to society (ie worth taking the best care of) if you're a future incubator of a future man (or of another future incubator).

Also it's great that our federal government would like to get that message out to girls as soon as they're physically able to conceive. Starting at age 11 or 9 or whatever, your greatest worth is your uterus. Don't worry about your brain.

Aaargh.
