...more likely next step, therefore, would be to place pregnant women who are HIV positive on a combination of protease inhibitors and AZT. About 1 in 4 children born to untreated HIV-positive mothers develop the infection themselves. The use of AZT during pregnancy has cut that transmission rate to 8%. In the next few months researchers will begin putting HIV-infected mothers on combination therapy with protease inhibitors to see if they can cut the rate to zero. But protease inhibitors are so much more powerful and potentially toxic than AZT that no one knows what harm it might...
...truth eludes not just those on the extremes but also those in the middle. Every mother who is pro-choice knows to keep her mouth shut when the subject of late-term abortion comes up. Those of us who have been happily pregnant have pored over the pictures in A Child Is Born, amazed that a creature still months away from filling the Jenny Lind crib in the nursery is so, well, human. We know there's a life's worth of difference between a 20-week-old fetus and a 24-week-old one. A 1991 study shows that...

But, in addition to physical health, courts have allowed "emotional, psychological, familial" factors to be considered, as well as "the woman's age."

Nonetheless, the set design by Zak Sung '99 was one of the most impressive parts of the play: a deep, eerily colored stage with a pregnant white veil above and with thin, dry trees at the wings...
...with propriety and high-minded-ness and good cheer; act as though there's a few bad eggs out there, but the rest of us are just fine. But there's another world--a counterworld, you could say--where life is complicated and mistakes get made and women get pregnant when they're not supposed to and people do stupid things and betray each other," one of the characters exclaims. "And we are those people. But we can't acknowledge that." And that is the problem. Hardships are not as difficult to deal with on a personal level as their...
