I think that what scares me more than getting fat during pregnancy is the responsibility of a child.

Responsibility is the thing people dread most of all. Yet it is the one thing in the world that develops us, gives us manhood or womanhood fiber.

A lot of women use pregnancy as an excuse to let their bodies go, and that's the worst thing.

I think we've moved to thinking of parenting and pregnancy as something in which you should lose yourself.

You don't want people to suffer or get fat when they're pregnant.

Women around the world should have a tool that helps them plan their pregnancies.

I'm pro responsible choice. You know, there is choice to abstain, choice to do contraception. There are all kinds of good choices.

In the pregnancy process I have come to realize how much of the burden is on the female partner. She's got a construction zone going on in her belly.

If a woman makes a unilateral decision to bring pregnancy to term, and the biological father does not, and cannot, share in this decision, he should not be liable for 21 years of support... autonomous women making independent decisions about their lives should not expect men to finance their choice.

A baby comes with such responsibility. Once you become a mother, you always have a guilt trip. You always try to do the best, but you feel you can always be better.
