But seriously, this is all kinds of messed up. And as for the people who call these girls "selfish" for not wanting to potentially die because their bodies aren't able to handle giving birth...

It must be nice to live in this parallel universe where the nature fairy makes sure no girl can ever get pregnant without being completely ready to handle the pregnancy in every way.
