Very possibly the actresses on the show didn't feel free to weigh in on this, but it's been over 11 years since this episode was written and only recently are people becoming aware of just how ignorant many have been and are about how women's bodies work and the impact pregnancy and childbirth can have, often negative, on the physical, mental, emotional, and financial health of not just the woman involved but that of her family and current children, male or female. With politicians all too eager to exploit that ignorance, especially depending on which state in America you are from and its likely lack of proper sex education. If you are from one of those states, check out Teen Vogue for good, accurate advice and facts. This ignorance is also clearly reflected in male-dominated writing on not just this show but others. And we are all literally and figuratively poorer for that ignorance with reproductive rights, among other rights impacting all genders, on the ropes because of it. And that's non-apocalyptical times. Pre-walkers, childbirth was (and still is) a leading cause of death in America, disproportionately impacting Black women and other POC . Women the world over often bleed out because, even though their bodies can make a baby, they are too young to live through child birth. With pregnant women having higher rates of being victims of homicide as well. And yet no scene was written to discuss the very real cons and risks to not just the woman but her family, of continuing with a pregnancy during a freakin' zombie apocalypse where there will be little to no access to basic OBGyn care or diagnostic tools to discover pregnancy-related conditions such as pre-eclampsia (if you don't know what that is you should), or ways to treat pregnancy-related conditions, easy blood transfusions, safe C-sections, or how medically-induce abortions actually work. Or the implications of what could happen should a wife and mother die in child birth and the potential fate of those she left behind because she couldn't be there to parent and be with her family - including having to make life-risking runs for expired formula (yes, it expires). The scene we are given is maddening and immoral, whittled down to "every pregnancy is a blessing" Nope. And a reminder: pregnancy test results do not come back within seconds but if you need one don't waste your money at the drug store since the dollar store ones have to be just as accurate by law in the USA anyway.
