Innovations in contraceptive devices and the demand for education often put the idea of marriage and children on the back burner – that’s if we even manage to put it on the stove at all. Recently a USA Today investigation declared America is the “most dangerous place in the developed world to give birth,” and it seemed many peoples’ knee-jerk reaction was to delegate blame to a perceived lack of … [Read more...]
Mental Health and Pregnancy – Due to Birth Control?
Holy Hormones Journal: - Pretty compelling picture right? What do you think this artist had in mind - women bringing children into a world that is not our reality - that is crumbling around us? That is one thought - and certainly in some parts of the world this is applicable.
