oh but it is

Never before have people been so fat- with the attendant health risks. Never before have we had a caesarian rate of 31 plus. Pregnancy is NOT what it always was. It is a fundamentally different experience today. It's very very very different than it was before. People have never been as fat and out of shape as they are now, and that's having a tremendous impact on things like pregnancy- as are rampant sexual diseases and the increasing age of pregnant women.

You simply can't look at what is happening to women who are pregnant- surgery rates, complication rates, diabetes onsets- and say it's the same. It just isn't- and you can measure the difference. The change is to some extent easily quantifiable.

I don't imagine you can produce any date that it's the same- but give it a try.
