When Beck, a Harvard grad student with multiple degrees, discovers she's pregnant for the second time, she's optimistic that she can still have it all because she has always had it all. By the time she discovers her unborn child has Down syndrome, she's already in love with the baby, and she and her husband decide against the abortion everyone recommends. Slyly ironic, frequently hilarious, Beck's memoir charts the journey from being smart to becoming wise, along the way drawing a believable portrait of a marriage in which two people root entirely for each other...
Unfortunately, Mr. McAllister (Matthew Broderick) is the Student Govrenment Advisor. Let me reword: Mr. McAllister is the unfortunate Student Government advisor. As his life continually rams into dead-ends (i.e. he can't seem to get his wife pregnant), he can't help but resenting Tracy's naive ambition.

Amnesty also describes an incident where a pregnant woman was not allowed to see an obstetrician during her imprisonment. Even as she complained "I'm constantly having headaches, stomach cramps, and can't sleep. I'm very scared for my baby and myself...Please help me! Help my baby!" the doctor refused to see her. All essentials for a healthy pregnancy are missing in prison: nutritious food, exercise, sanitary conditions, prenatal care. Pregnant women are sometimes shackled with waist chains that can injure the fetus and ankle chains that increase the likelihood of falling. A 1985 California Department of Health...
