Ladies of America: It's time to learn about your importance in the the national healthcare debate. Do we as a country care what's going on with your body because you're a person? Hell, no! It's actually because you're an incubator.

Via Bitch Ph.D. this morning, there's a Washington Post (remember that bastion of liberal media?) seriously introducing some new federal health guidelines to ask all women after their first period to consider themselves pre-pregnant:

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.
