For not just one, but at least two "care" providers to treat you this way is awful to say the least. I'm glad you went on to have better births for your younger children.

When I was hospitalized during my third pregnancy, the doctors told me the opposite, that they didn't care if my baby lived or died; they only cared about me. How about doctors (my phone just suggested that I was trying to type "dictator" - how appropriate) stop trying to decide whose life is more important. Just fully inform us of all the risks and let us decide what to do!! Grrrrrr… this makes me see red.

I wonder about the context, too. Obviously Luther wasn't perfect by any stretch (hello, anti-Semitism!) but his views on women and family tend to be pretty solid.

I wonder at what point that was said? I.e. before or after his own marriage, the births of his children? Yes, culturally things were very different then. I am sure part of that was due to the "coping mechanisms" of the very high mortality rates. If there was no rationalization, to somehow work past the horrific rates of death, what do you do with that? How do you stay sane? Obviously there's no excuse for de-valuing human life, in any context. Huh. I wonder at what point that was said? I.e. before or after his own marriage, the births of his children?
