Destroyed Before They Start

A child psychology course taught that electric sparks are flying across the area that eventually becomes the brain about six weeks into the pregnancy. That fact shot through me like a rod of lightning. This meant that the environment of a child is affecting it before the mother is even sure of what is happening. In America the lives of so many people are destroyed before they even begin.


The stresses on a pregnant woman in the states is amazing. The typical pregnant woman does not have a stable relationship with a partner, let alone a legal one. Poverty is at an all time high in real terms, which means that pregnant women may not be consuming the proper nutrients. Women do not have any rights in terms of job security while they are pregnant. Most women do not read aloud or play complex music such as jazz or classical while the child is in the womb, leaving the baby with little mental stimulation. So many women in the U. S. have two options, terminate the pregnancy or struggle through. Struggle often means the child will die at some other time before reaching adulthood.

The ray of sunshine in this essay is that the solution for many of these problems are simple. Women should draw support from whatever family, friends, and neighbors are willing to help. If the parents cannot read, they can always get books in audio format. As far as food goes we still have the Women Infant & Children program WIC.

The lives of our future everything are often destroyed before they have a starting chance. The U. S. has not been a kind place to children, but with a few minor changes we can shift the direction of our society.
