...drug treatment programs, for instance, accept pregnant addicts. A study of New York City drug-abuse programs found that 87% turned away pregnant crack users. Says Sidney Schnoll, a psychiatrist at the Medical College of Virginia: "We seem more willing to place the kid in a neonatal intensive-care unit for $1,500 or $2,000 a day, rather than put $1,500 into better prenatal care...
...judges had a hand in creating fetal rights, courts will never be able to ensure real protection to an unborn child. That will have to come from mothers who take responsibility for the lives they carry within them -- and a nation willing to provide the fetus with real prenatal care.

Harvard psychologist Carol Gilligan, author of In A Different Voice, a landmark study of gender differences, argues that women have greater moral strength, a stronger ethic of care and overriding concern for making and maintaining relationships -- all qualities of a good politician. She has even said that feelings -- and, yes, tears if it should come to that -- have their place in a man's world. Meantime, the NWPC tackles crying head on by recommending that women talk about...
