As you all know, I am proudly anti-choice with regards to the choice of killing your child in utero or otherwise. However, in things childbirth and child-rearing related, I am decidedly more pro-parental choice.
This is why the very public attention on the royal birth makes me uncomfortable. I understand Kate and William are royalty and this is what they live with, but honestly, I can think of nothing worse than the paparazzi taking pictures approximately four minutes after you give birth.








This is why I liked the tongue-in-cheek “news story” I saw on Huffington Post UK:

(If the link doesn’t work, there is a picture of the Duchess of Cambridge and below it is written,
“A married woman of childbearing age has given birth to a baby boy.
The event followed nine months of pregnancy.
“Both mother and baby are doing well,” a spokesman for the woman said.
It is now expected that the baby will grow up.”)
