It’s trauma to the body - my first labor took 36 hours - I’ve never experienced anything as excruciatingly painful ever since.

Since we live in a country that does not mandate paid parental leave or have affordable childcare, women of modest means will lose their jobs and their income.

In some states, women die from childbirth at the same rates as a third world country.

For entitled,wealthy, Amy Conehead to state that pregnancy isn’t a burden to women is egregiously insulting, tone deaf, and WRONG.
