keryxThe actual CDC pre-pregnant report.
I figure we ought to go to the source after we read the W Post article that everyone everywhere's posting. And you know what the source says? Well, it doesn't actually call women baby machines, at least. But it does have a distinct flavor of weirdness. I think the idea went something like this:
CDC: Hey everyone, people should get better healthcare, like all the time! Doctors should educate people! Poor people can be good healthcare consumers if we gave them any fucking options or care at all!
Gubmint: Wait, you're talking about poor women? Fuck them.
CDC: No, it's not just for actual born, thinking and feeling humans! It's for the babies! Think of all the preconceived babies!
Gubmit: Oh, PRECONCEIVED BABIES! That's a whole other story! Now all the womens need to get doctoring for the potential fetuses. We *heart* potential fetuses way more than poor women! And there aren't enough healthy American babies for Official Married Non-Lesbian Wealthy White People to adopt!
Hey, wait. I think I just took the CDC's [you know, the people who brought you the Obesity Crisis! Egads (oh, oops, our math was off just a little)] side in an imaginary argument. CALL THE PRESS!
