"Thus, it is no longer socially "normal" for women to have large numbers of children, and to have little or no control over when they get pregnant." I was trying to say that. Since Tim's point had something to do with the logic of regulation- and seeing as how regulators are part of society; how society sees something is thus at issue. I probably didn't express myself very well. Although I DO feel that with our diabetes epidemic pregnancy is now a lot more dangerous for a large part of our population- not to mention the effects this will have on generations of children- for me know that maternal weight and diet have a large impact on the developing fetus.
