Gilead, Here We Come

[filkertom]

Even the WaPo is labelling this one "Forever Pregnant":

New federal guidelines ask all females capable of conceiving a baby to treat themselves -- and to be treated by the health care system -- as pre-pregnant, regardless of whether they plan to get pregnant anytime soon.

Among other things, this means all women between first menstrual period and menopause should take folic acid supplements, refrain from smoking, maintain a healthy weight and keep chronic conditions such as asthma and diabetes under control.

And if you're wondering why I've got the "religion" tag on this one... you simply don't get it, do you?

see, i consider myself, because of my diabetes and my family history of PCOS, as NOT capable of conceiving a baby. pregnancy could quite possibly kill me, if i could even catch a podling to begin with. therefore, not an option in my book. as soon as i figure out from my health insurance what procedures can be done to prevent a such a lethal possibilty, i'm going under the knife/laser and getting as much of my apparatus tampered with as is necessary.
and if i have to, i'll save my pennies and get it done in canada.
