Some of the most productive cartoon marketing promotions are the types which
run inside series. In several Simpsons episodes, Lisa and
Bart is found watching and laughing at Itchy and Scratchy killing each other.
The members of the family is manufactured from Homer Simpson,
who’s the man with the home, he or she is an overweight safety inspector on the cities strength plant, he often offers bad suggestions.

There is no Planned Parenthood within 100 miles of where I live. And if you’re a poor woman and have no insurance and no income, that puts the kybosh on the private physician referral.

Planned Parenthood can refer you to a supportive physician for a tubal ligation. I used to work at a reproductive health clinic (not PP) and we had an excellent physician who did tubal ligations for any woman who requested one.

I agree with you and your reasons for not having children. Also, I would NEVER bring a child into this phallocentric, classist, polluted world. My maternal instincts go to mothering my kittehs.

I agree with everything you said. Society treats our bodies like they weren’t ours and like it’s a natural thing for every woman to want to be a mother. However, as a sufferer, I must say that tokophobia is very real, even among women who want to be mothers. I´ve always wanted to be a mother but childbirth is my worst nightmare and I know many women who feel the same way about it. I would not go through with it unless it can be guaranteed that I would have a C-section and I think it’s disgusting that some countries don’t even allows us to make that decision about our bodies. My body, my decision – it’s as simple as that.

Yeah and obstetricians are sadistic on top of being utterly clueless.

Do you think the death threats laboring women issue their no-help bedside dumbasses result from a moment of clarity?

Sing it, sister! Childbirth always sounded horrific to me. No interest.

I too never wanted children and faced the same BS you did…Now I am 43, fighting cervical cancer and STILL!! my Uterus is Healthy Organ…reallly???? Jesus. I have an IUD, thank the non-existent god, Even as a little girl, I never wanted a BABY, It just seemed…unnatural to me. I have had MALE doctors tell me it was MY DUTY to have kids. UMMM HELL NO! I have had an abortion, and I do not regret that, at ALL. THANK YOU RU486!!
