Are you pre-pregnant? The CDC thinks you are...
The Centres for Disease Control are asking all American women to take control of their health by quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet high in folic acid, and controlling their body weight. But not because any of these things leads to an improvement in their quality of life. That's just a pleasant side effect. Rather, the new guidelines issued by the CDC are asking all American women of child-bearing age to consider themselves "pre-pregnant" and to take these steps to ensure that the fetus they might one day find themselves carrying, planned or not, is as healthy as possible.
I think Americans of voting-age who are anticipating delivering another presidency to the GOP should consider themselves pre-screwed.
Comments
Pre-screwing can lead to pre-pregnancy.
They also say we should stop emptying the kitty litter, just in case.
And apparently, if we were to follow the research exactly, we would also quit our hazardous jobs.
