08/21 Ask Dr. Phil & Robin with JCPenney Jam
Quote From: ojellodYou can't be serious!! A woman gives birth to her FOURTH child after a 4 hour labor without an epidural and gets lifetime TIVO, a plasma TV and a day at the spa??? She didn't develop a cure for AIDS for God's sake! Come on! Millions of women go through childbirth without drugs everyday and live to tell about it! Really! I gave birth to two children after only 8 hours of labor each, no drugs, and my reward was a speedy recovery, two beautiful kids, and that was enough for me. I felt great afterwards that I had accomplished something everyone had told me to "dread." (i.e. the "pain" of childbirth!!) Come on Dr. Phil; let's encourage and empower women, not treat them like weaklings who should be pampered for doing what many of us do without even thinking about it. Good grief! Why do you think they call it LABOR?? I could not agree more. Think about all the billions of women since the beginning of the world who have given birth naturally, and the countless numbers who still do today. No doubt, it was very nice for Dr. Phil to do what he did for this woman, but you know, maybe I'd like a spa day for performing another natural bodily function - how about a spa day for going to the bathroom?
