well...i can't say that I blame them. This is their "job" which i'm sure is important but it sure doesn't trump staying alive and raising your children/or not spreading it to your kids.
Any woman worth her salt wouldn't choose orphaning her kids to go to work.

Your logic is very retro, and completely undermines the notion of women being employed in certain capacities.
Do you really mean to imply that women should not be employed in public health and safety?
