Int'l Womens Day

I've got my boxers all in a twist because of stupid women. Stupid, grumpy women. Okay, they may not be intellectually stupid, but they're angry and rude. Being pregnant means that I have to be on one of those stupid bulletin boards where everyone is due at the same time. (have to is total sarcasm...I'm just as stupid as all of the women on there for being there in the first place)

Anyway, so this C-section debate is ongoing. There is always some woman who's gotta not only be on her soapbox but push everyone else around and try to shove the information in their face about how they shouldn't have one. Then all of the bitter women who have had or will be having c-sections get all pissy towards the first woman, then a war starts. And it's SSSSOOOOO stupid.

The statistics aren't stupid:
1070s - approximately 5%
1996 - 20.7%
1997 - 20.8%
1998 - 21.2%
1999 - 22.0%
2000 - 22.9%
2001 - 24.4%
2002 - 26.1%

So why are the rates rising? Is it saving lives? No, actually infant mortality has remained fairly constant throughout the last 80 or so years. Many women believe rates have risen because of liability costs to doctors, doctors wanting more predictability, and women thinking it would be easier (even though it's an invasive surgery).

What I find hysterical is how upset these pro-c-section women get. OH MY GOD! My opinion that these statistics mean doctors aren't doing their jobs good enough is harming your ability to do what you want? Well, I'll be. I must be God! That's how upset these women get, on both sides.

"C-Sections are evil. Your child will suffer and so will you"

"At least I didn't have to spend hours in pain and lose my bowels in front of everyone. Yuck"

That's how stupid women are. So thank god that it's International Women's Day! (thank you hannihaus) I mean what better day than today to be a stupid woman?

 

Some of you may know already that we are trying to find a new home for Tundra. This is our baby, so we're watching our for her interests and need to find a family who can play with her outside more. She's getting fat and bitchy! Here's the post we've been advertising with: Tundra is a 5 year old lab/australian shepherd mix that loves everyone. She gets along great with other dogs, children, loves to play, cuddle and sleep. She needs a place with a yard or a family that is very active outdoors with their animals. She has had obedience classes, although due to a lack of consistency she may need a little bit of encouragement before you let her off of the leash in an open area - she's been indoors without a yard or much activity for about a year, so the wild outdoors may overwhelm her! She is a fantastic dog and we really want to find the right home for her because we aren't able to provide it right now.:)
