Pregnancy is becoming so expensive that, costs of actually raising a child aside, it’s a serious economic barrier to having children. And it shouldn’t be. I reject the argument that people who can’t afford the expenses of having a pregnancy that’s managed as safely and respectfully as possible shouldn’t have children. When you’re looking at costs that rival those of a full year at an Ivy League college — and all four years of education at many excellent schools — you have to challenge these kinds of attitudes and get to the deeper root of the problems with labour, delivery, and pregnancy culture in the United States.
Pregnancy costs are out of control | this ain’t livin’
