And immediately afterward, hormones still rule the body, making life difficult for those who live with and love the mom. <br /><br />But curtailing women's freedom to choose their own paths in life is what the anti-choice folks are all about. They don't give a flying fuck about the baby. If they did, they'd stop cutting programs to feed children and support the moms who have to work with decent, affordable and safe daycare. Instead, they only love the idea of keeping women pregnant and helpless. Shameful!<br /><br />The saying back in the day, was, If men got pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament. Amen.

I saw a pregnant woman the other day ...Hi, Fiona! <br /><br />I saw a pregnant woman the other day on the street - very pregnant, and not looking all that happy - and realized that my whole life, I've been in control of my fertility. I chose not to have kids. I could have chosen TO have kids (presumably). The point is, it was my choice. So many women, even today, don't have that choice. (I recently read a horrific article about abortion in Madagascar, a mostly Catholic and desperately impoverished country where abortion, even in the case of rape or incest, is punishable by 10 years in prison.<br /><br />Ghastly.Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-65912372503283429942019-09-05T11:38:16.218-04:002019-09-05T11:38:16.218-04:00I'm with you, Lisabet!

That's why I specifically write contemporary erotic romance, because to me, the idea of sex without protection against unwanted pregnancy is too horrible to contemplate, and certainly real turn-off! Especially these days, when old white men are busily trying to shove all females back into the kitchen, barefoot and pregnant. I've got 4 adult kids, so I did do all of that...except barefoot--I like wearing sandals, even at home. But I did it voluntarily, not because I had to. <br /><br />Sometimes I wonder why all of the futuristic sci-fi is distopic. I think it's because the writer is expressing their deepest fears about the future. And all sci-fi authors look at what IS, and extrapolate that to what could be, if we stay on this path. Like you, I love to read it. But my muse refuses to give me anything to write about that isn't romance. Fiona McGierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495707848048468428noreply@blogger.com
