Open Thread: Your Womb Now Belongs to the State

So treat it carefully at all times, because you don’t want to be charged with endangering official government property:

New federal guidelines ask all females capable of conceiving a baby to treat themselves — and to be treated by the health care system — as pre-pregnant, regardless of whether they plan to get pregnant anytime soon.

Among other things, this means all women between first menstrual period and menopause should take folic acid supplements, refrain from smoking, maintain a healthy weight and keep chronic conditions such as asthma and diabetes under control.

No more wild parties girls. No risky sports like rock climbing, either. And definitely don’t run too much as that depresses your hormone levels and plays havoc with your menstrual cycles. Just take your vitamins and keep your vagina safe for your husband (or husband to be).
