Gee, there’ve been articles posting here in the past about how the PA OB-GYNs are being force out of the state by the trial lawyers, who’ve had the state (commonwealth) legislature limit their own liability to $75K per incident for legal malpractice.

Folks been making babies for a long time now.
In some pretty inhospitable places too.
I guess if you and your baby want lots of things for free, maybe Pennsylvania ain’t for you?
Advice:
Have as many children as you are blessed with.
Love them and help guide them into becoming G-dly people.
Cherish everyday with them.

Add to that, live a healthy, holy life yourself, so that you are able to teach all of the above to your children.
N.E. Pa.has been turned into a sewer by crime and drugs.
I’ll keep that in mind for sure.

Thank God
