How can women equate pregnancy to a long

[Ryde on]

term illness such as prostate cancer? ( see prior question)? Pregnancy can be avoided ,or aborted to get and stay pregnant is a choice. To be stricken with a long term illness is hardly a choice, I don't see a parallel.

I know. And what about breast cancer? None of them mentioned it. Kinda funny.

If you want an answer to your question, you have to explain what you're babbling about in THIS question.I'm not going to spend hours going to your profile and trying to figure out what you're talking about, with my slow dial-up connection.I've never heard anyone, woman or man, equate pregnancy to a long-term illness.Getting pregnant is NOT always a choice, and, given the lack of available abortions in this country (US), staying pregnant isn't always a choice either.But without the context for your question, I don't get what you're asking.

No no no ! You should never compare them. I haven't read the question you are referring to, but they are just not the same. Pregnancy is a time when you feel that you are gifted in some way (of course not in all cases), but no one would feel gifted because they had prostate cancer.
