Guilt?  Please don't patronize us.  Women are capable of making choices
appropriate to their personal situations.  To insist that we do so without
full information about the effects of our choices is to play the same role
that old-style medicine played in our lives - the role that the new AAP
policy helps to sweep away.  Surely NOW is not going to take up where
paternalistic medicine left off.  Support us as women.  Support our ability
to choose for ourselves.  Support our search for information.  And support
the changes necessary for us reach our full potential in the workplace
without sacrificing our health or our relationship with our children.
Stand up for us.  The AAP has.
