BG, I hear where you're coming from, but......

The way I read Tegam's post was more that she was saying that it's the way it's worded, rather than the intention ITMS. As in, there's nothing wrong with having an end date, all pregnancies have to come to an end but that saying "s/he will/won't LET me" implies that as patients, we have no say in the matter. Which of course we do. Informed or not, we can choose to follow our HCPs advice, or we can choose to disregard it.

I agree that for some (maybe most) having an end date is important, I really understand what you're saying. But I also agree with Tegam that the language we use is very powerful, and implying that a patient must blindly go along with their HCP must influence the thinking of alot of people.

I hope that doesn't come across as argumentative, I don't mean it to be! I agree with both of you, I just think BG that maybe you misunderstood what Tegam was trying to say.
