Often, women who lose babies are blamed for the loss of those children and are ostracised.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Too many mothers have lost their children, for thousands of different reasons.
Women are responsible for their children, they cannot sit back, waste time and see them starve.
Half a million women die each year around the world in pregnancy. It's not biology that kills them so much as neglect.
In German science, we have a special problem. We lose talented women at the time they get pregnant. Some of it occurs because they are encouraged - by their husbands, bosses and the government - to take long maternity leaves.
Every year, more than 1 million children are left motherless and vulnerable because of maternal deaths, and children who have lost their mothers are up to 10 times more likely to die prematurely than those who have not.
Childbearing is glorified in part because women die from it.
A great number of the women are victims to falling of the womb and weakness in the spine; but these are necessary results of their laborious existence, and do not belong either to climate or constitution.
Isn't it true that the fault of birth rests somewhat on the child? I believe it's we who led our parents on to bear us, and it's our unborn children who make our flesh itch.
The woman who purposely destroys her unborn child is guilty of murder. With us there is no nice enquiry as to its being formed or unformed.
Those who have lost an infant are never, in a way, without an infant.
