(Corri) I don't care if I respect you or not if the safety of my baby is in question.
Does this extend to all your (and by extension, any woman's) undeveloped ovum? If so, then what you guys are saying makes sense. Or could at least serve as a useful model.
I'd say in a general sense, yes. I grew up with the solid belief that I'd never have kids. Didn't want them. I wasn't maternal, didn't have an interest in babies... I wanted a career, wanted all kinds of things before a family or kids...
But when that... biological clock... goes off? I also noticed things about myself during my pregnancy... right before I went into labor, through labor... that I did, that I felt...
Women don't need hospitals and doctors to have babies. It all happens, whether I want it to or not. That doesn't make me a good mom or a bad mom... it means there is something coded into me, as a female. It means... I'll figure it out.
Throwing higher order thinking and modern day society in on top of that... well... now we have things to debate ad nausea.
