Pre-pregnant: Because women are destined to birth.

A new report issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention--a federal government program, mind you--on women's health suggests that all women capable of conceiving children should consider themselves pre-pregnant.
. . . regardless of whether they plan to get pregnant anytime soon. The recommendations aim to "increase public awareness of the importance of preconception health" and emphasize the "importance of managing risk factors prior to pregnancy," said Samuel Posner.
Holy fuck! And we thought the days of thinking of women as sperm receptacle, baby incubators were over! Nay, my friend. Perhaps this is just a semantic problem: The MAN says pre-pregnant, I say homophobic, mysogynistic, fucked up government reproductive control.

Thanks to Sarah (an unworthy, childless slut).

niki-- don't be so overdramatic-- if i'm not pre-pregnant than i have nothing to look forward to-- i would like to think that i've been pre-pregnant since my todler years when i played with my baby burps alot-- dont' we all just long to be a mother and a keeper-- i know my goals in life are focused on being a breeding factory-- that way i can strain myself working out between each baby so that i never look unsuitable for my wonderful husband-- really niki-- don't be so selfish and spread a little pre-pregnant love
