of understanding of what women go through in childbirth. I think it is reasonable to wonder if you have that much disrespect for women in general that you would make light of a process that increasingly kills US women and women in developing nations throughout the world. Right now in the US, 23.5/100,00 women die in childbirth or shortly thereafter in this country and nearly 45/100,000 black women. That is a significant jump from earlier in the decade. But it is all one joke for you now, isn't it?
