Doubtless a mother experiences much pain and discomfort with
a fetus inside her body. However, everyone here has at one time
had the unpleasant sensation of having had a woman attached to
one's navel. What a drag! No room service either.
And even after you're born, they still won't let you go...
can't get out of the house, can't cross the street, can't stay
out after midnight... a mother definitely gets revenge many
times over... <end facetiousness>
Seriously, though, the first year or so of life after birth
is indistinguishable (to me now) from time before birth; I can't
perceive (and probably couldn't at the time) any difference between
being killed by my mother before or after birth...
At any rate, the pain, discomfort, and inconvenience are
definitely not over once the baby is born... ask any mother;
she is even less in control of her life afterwards than before.
[at least, she has greater legal liability, it seems]
Draw your own conclusions.
