Okay, so we do a crappy job of providing pre and neo-natal care to all Americans and we have the highest infant mortality rate among industrialized nations, but what to do?  While some might suggest reforming the health care system, moving towards universal coverage, or putting more money into programs targeting poor and at-risk pregnant women, the federal government has instead decided to set guidelines saying women need to think about and take care of themselves as if they were always on the verge of being pregnant.....oh, and doctors should always treat all women as if they might get pregnant.  Of course this applies whether the women plan to get pregnant or not, because obviously the problem with high infant mortality rates is all these unplanned pregnancies and not the fact that over 17 million women in this country have no health insurance or put off seeing doctors because they can't afford to.  Christ, these truly are strange times we live in.
