I'm not seeing it. What about that is uncivil? Too graphic for you? Having pushed out 3 watermelons myself, I thought I'd toned it down quite a bit from the actual experience.

Too graphic is different from uncivil. I didn't think it was too graphic, but if it was, I'll try to remember that in future. But you'll need to explain- because I'd like to tone down the right aspect. Since you are asking me to place a limit on my speech, it would be best if you are very specific.

Was it the word "freaking"? I'm really at a loss here.

PS- in my opinion part of the violence, and the graphic nature of birth, are reasons why I do not think it should be forced on women. I cannot think of any more acutely physically painful time in my life- except for an infection that almost killed me. While going through it for a child you want is eventually worth it, I DO remember feeling like I was dying, and I had very easy deliveries. Since that is part of my point, and since birth is much more graphic and painful than I descibed it somewhat humorously, I think my point would be lost if I toned it down too much. Birth is huge- that's why I wouldn't force a women to undergo it if she didn't want to.
