Let me say up front that I support all choices that people make with thier bodies. I am very Pro-Choice and fully support anyone who doesn't want to be a parent.

That being said- can we please consider what language we use around bodies that have given birth. Is a body "ruined" because it doesn't match up to current Western beauty standards often created by Photoshop? That's pretty sexist and fat-phobic. Do stretch marks "ruin" a body? Would you say that about someone with scars?

I'm well aware of birth injuries. They are a real risk and can be devastating to people. But does that make a body ruined? Would you say that to a disabled person?

Again if you don't want to be pregnant then that's great and I hope you have access to effective, safe birth control. But maybe think about the implications of the language you use.

Edit: I object to this language b.c I see it as yet another way to criticize the "female" body. Instead of "wrecked" or "ruined" try "medical implications." I would call complications of pregnancy and parturition "sequelae" which lacks the judgemental tone.
