In my experience, many mothers are not getting any prenatal care. Many are pregnant before they know it and do not discontinue activities which will harm their child.
- lern_too_spel 3y agoThat's a problem. Is the solution to defund father education programs?
- mcculley 3y agoAbsolutely not. I think we should fund a Natural Responsible Motherhood Clearinghouse and host it at motherhood.gov. But telling women to be responsible mothers is not as politically easy as telling men to be responsible fathers.
- lern_too_spel 3y ago> But telling women to be responsible mothers is not as politically easy as telling men to be responsible fathers. But as I said, we do that already, and far more directly as part of women's healthcare. It is not a men's health issue, so it can't be done through existing systems. The effectiveness of telling women to be responsible mothers, which you objected to earlier, does not negate the fact that we do tell them, so your political narrative does not make sense.
- LargeTomato 3y agoYou are intentionally missing the point because you are upset about some supposed political alignment of the other commenter. In the spirit of the Paul Graham post about taboo I'm going to tell you to take a deep breath, separate logic and emotion, and do better.
- lern_too_spel 3y agoWhat point? That there should be a separate website for telling mothers about motherhood? Why would it be necessary if it's already in existing websites and programs?
