The purpose of redefining pregnancy a medical condition was to get health insurance to pay for abortions.

Do you think pregnancy is a disability? The federal government recently redefined pregnancy a disability too so women could claim workman's disability payments. A woman's body making a baby shows amazing ability, not disability. Leftists play fast and loose with the language to get their way, which is usually getting you to pay their bills.

Um, no. Not even close. Read the history of midwives vs. doctors and you might just get yourself back on the right track with this subject.

I’m done with this discussion with you because, no offense, it’s just not productive.

Preposterous.

It was for me. I had pre-term labor for both of my pregnancies, but especially with my twins. I was on complete bedrest for 10 weeks with my twins, and I spent about a week in the hospital getting a pump placed in my leg for terbutaline. Then I had a monitor on me that measured my contractions.

It definitely is a medical condition.
