I love this article from Slate -- simply because it has the temerity to suggest that the well being of a child might be at least as important as the desires of an adult. When it comes to getting pregnant and having a baby, it's NOT all about me (what I want, me, my life and me), it's all about we (what is best for a family?). Emily: you are my new hero. Be strong.
So true. This is a great article. Thanks for pointing it out. Why don't more people get this concept?
Isn't it kind of sad that we are all "surprised" when an article simply states what decades of research has showed us? I am so glad the article was written and is being read, but I look forward to a day when such articles do not have to be written because their lessons are woven into the way we "do family."
