... but unless you can come up with long-term health benefits for the mother from pregnancy

Actually, women who have borne children have a reduced chance of getting breast cancer. That's the only one I can think of. Hardly enough to compensate for the health disadvantages, but something.

I do not know about long term health benefits off- hand. Perhaps, if I have time later, I will research the matter.....

Neo is simply wrong about that. Pay no attention to him. He obviously doesn't know about the long list of complications inherent with pregnancy itself- and unrelated to child birth.
