and my doctor warned me to stop for the health of myself and the baby. He didn't have to tell me but once because the smell of the cigarette smoke began to make me nauseous and I stopped. But my husband smoked at that time and I could smell the smoke in his clothes, his hair, where he last set...everywhere he was. I didn't know cigarettes could smell so badly.

This is a consequence of treating women without means as brood mares for people of means to "build a family". The public has been lead to believe that removing an infant from its mother to be raised by others is "the same as" being raised by an infants own mother, and it is not. But this view that has been carefully cultivated by a billion dollar industry has lowered the bar to obscene levels to remove a child from its mother.

Thank you for recognizing this as a part of the war on women. Although I believe that feminism more and more is being written by and for women of means leaving the rest of us behind.
