Pregnancy is the a normal state of the uterus.
FTFY
And all the howlers should admit that pregnancy is most likely the only thing the uterus is good for, which is an understatement because it is essential to all posterity. It is unnatural, not to mention unsustainable, to render the uterus vestigial yet that is the profound insanity of our culture.
I'm not sure it's true or can be proved but I've heard and suspect that there may be biological/immunity benefits to the mother from each baby's genetic material that potentially escapes into the mother's body. I may have seen that in a TED talk.
I that God every day that my wife is a megagrandmultipara, the feminine eqivalent of a triple ace. She is amazingly healthy and energetic, especially compared to her relatives ravaged by bc, vd, abortion, cancer and hysterectomy. And she is absolutely lovely and enticing.
From the citation, Williams...:
“...pregnancy and labor represent the highest function of the female reproductive system...”
When one considers the normalcy of pregnancy, one will consider how to manage one’s dealings.
One treats the body as if it wants to be in that state, and then one can act in a way that brings about good consequences.
Or, one can practice birth control, which is to attack the reproductive system as if it is unhealthy, when it is not.
It is normal to be married, and to want to be so, as it is normal to be single and want to be so, if life’s vocation, the single professional life, or the religious life, or widowhood or unforeseen divorce or illness presents that.
In that case, when considering the normal state of the uterus, which is to be pregnant, as well as other considerations, one is celibate, or one takes birth control pretending the reproductive system is sick when it normally tends to its normal state - pregnancy.
It was always a management issue until we started treating pregnancy as a bad (women’s health) issue.
the point being that pregnancy is not an illness, as you surely knew I meant, and still do.
